Crumpler works as a cutman for Michael Williams Jr. BoxRec listed 22 fighters from Wilson who had at least one professional boxing match in 2010 and 2011. Most of the fighters from Wilson are connected to Crumpler. He has explained his opinion of the "opponent" in boxing:

When I get a kid a fight, my only rule is that they have to try.

I won't bring a guy who's just going to fall down and take a dive because then I won't get paid.

I bring guys who actually believe they can win.

I know they can't, but who am I to burst their bubble?

Besides, they could get lucky.

It's like hitting the lotto.

It can happen.
