This focker won't allow good fights to happen because he doesn't want Haymon to take over. He knows that if he let's Haymon take the thunder off of Crawford or Pacquiao he's done for. Arum is a focking cancer to boxing and needs to go.
He's holding on to scraps but should realize that there is no way to go from here. Haymon has the talent and unless he decides to work with him, he will die. He should let Crawford fight the 147'ers, I'm prettty sure he would have a chance against any of them. I like him more than Spence or Thurman, I'd have him as a favorite against those two. This guy is focking up boxing and it's pissing me off.
Speaking of which......what the hell ever happened to PBC?
Looks like all PBC eggs are in Showtime;s basket now.
They send disposable guys to HBO once in a while.
WTF are you talking about? Haymon owns most of the talent, especially at 147. For years he didn't allow his best to fight one another. Now that he has lost half a billion dollars, he has no choice but to make the fights fans want to see. He wants it all on his terms and he is getting schooled by other promoters who are showing him how this business works.
No. Haymon simply run out of cab drivers for his top fighters. Who would have thought Bundu existed for Thurman when Alexander was available at that time? Or the taxi driver who upset Guerrero? Who recognized Salka? Etc. So his top fighters have nowhere else to go but fight each other. Lara I think can't duck Andrade. I don't see another Foreman popping up anytime soon.

The admin probably already knows lad, I'm a legend around these parts lol
But if you need proof, here it is:

It's clear the kid wants the crowd, but his daddy won't let him.
Anybody can mention anybody[s name lad. When Broner was undefeated years ago, prior to his exposure, he was calling out everybody, which included Guerrero. You saw the video of Guerrero calling Broner's bluff in his face. You want to see the video? Fight didn't happen. You're not 10 yrs old are you?
So where does it say Crawford wants to move up and wants Thurman for his debut fight at 147? The admin probably wants to know lad.

Op makes a great point.
Thanks for the support. It's very clear what's going on here.
Crawford explicitly called out Thurman, but ARUM of all peoples came out to call off the fight and say that it isn't happening soon.
Arum only has 3 blue chips at the moment, and that is Crawford, Lomachenko and Pacquiao. All these fighters with the exception of Lomachenko have been challenged by Haymon fighters. But Arum won't entertain any of these fights, and it makes perfect sense. He's trying everything he can to preserve them, hence why we're getting Pacquiao vs Horn and there are no talks of unification since Haymon has pretty much monopolized the division.
Perfectly understanble from a business standpoint, but sh1tty from a boxing fan's.
Lots of inactive fighters in the PBC camp, yet this idiotic TS has no say about it. Lots and lots of fights that can be made are not being made.
Spence vs Thurman, Spence vs Porter, Spence vs Peterson, Spence vs Garcia, Swift vs Porter, Swift vs Berto, Lara vs Andrade, Lara vs Williams, Lara vs Charlo, Lara vs Quillin, Lara vs Jacobs, etc. etc.
Why do you need Crawford when you have all these fighters available in your own backyard? Effing fanboys.
Because Crawford is more highly rated than any of those guys and would make a better fight? And what the hell kind of sh1t fight is Lara vs Quillin???
So Crawford wants Thurman, and Keith says yes? (where tf does that come from?) But Arum doesn't want it (where tf does that come from?) What am I missing? Since when did Crawford become a child and can't get what he wants? In this case they blame Arum. In GGG's case, they blame GGG. Brothas can do no wrong...
It's hard enough for Haymon to pit his fighters against each other, and these idiots are telling me it's easier to make fights outside of uncle Al's house. If that is the case, then Kov vs Adonis would have been made a long time ago. Doe.
Wow, that was beautiful
Wrong again numbskull. Haymon was willing to take a risk with one of his top prospects, something Arum will not do with his. Now, when will Arum return the favor?
I agree with this

Arum can't even put together Crawford vs Pacquiao, and those guys are in-house!
I'm pretty sure the fight is in the works. I actually think Crawford will be Pacquiao's farewell opponent. Arum wants the torch to be passed to Crawford, not to Haymon's camp.
Exactly people just knew Loma as a good amateur fighter who already had a loss in his first 2 fights. Haymon was probably trying to show off Russell as a fighter who could take on the top amateur elites.
Come on, do you really think Haymon didn't know what he was looking at? Lomachenko was a risky fight, and he ended up losing his bet. But Haymon, unlike Arum, can actually afford to lose one of his chips.
Wrong again stupid. Russel wasn't given away. Haymon was confident that Russel was going to beat Lomachenko, so Bob was willing to match him, and with that, he got his ass whooped.
How the hell do you know what Haymon was thinking? The man literally never talks.
