"Nobody other than maybe Warren Buffett has brought more prestige and cash to Omaha than Terence "Bud" Crawford of late. Bet the local cops wouldn't pull their guns on Buffett. After midnight on Sunday, Omaha police pulled over Crawford's vehicle and, with at least one weapon pointed at the champ's face, ordered him and all occupants out of the car."
"Crawford was in his hometown, which he's stayed loyal to throughout his rise to global stardom at the expense of his own Q rating and bank accounts, to celebrate his birthday and his career-topping win over Saul "Canelo" Alvarez earlier this month. That prize fight was the biggest and most anticipated showdown in the sport in recent years. Crawford was paid a reported $50 million and became the face of boxing and pound-for-pound king while displacing the favored and already legendary Canelo."
Terence 'Bud' Crawford, an Omaha native and undisputed boxing champion, was pulled over by Omaha police after midnight and had at least one weapon pointed at his face. Crawford and his security chief Qasim Shabazz Asad were ordered out of the car and handcuffed until officers checked identification. Asad said they feared they were going to lose their lives. Crawford was in town to celebrate his 38th birthday and his recent, career-defining victory over Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez, a fight that reportedly paid him $50 million and elevated him to pound-for-pound king. Omaha honored him with a parade and a second key to the city, followed by a party at Steelhouse.
