Lets be real here This man has 3 of the ww champs on his roster and Manny..why would he not make those fights first?? what business man would not focus on his own roster first? Sure we as fans want the fight but you have to use commonsense here.
I just hope we don't get another case of the top two WWs not facing eachother and dragging the whole thing out.
This is one of the best fight we can see today.
I also wonder how long Spence will be at WW.
fans dont realize how gullible they are. but that's how it's supposed to be.
in a year or so, spence vs crawford wont be the biggest fight that can be made.
in a year or so, it will be very difficult for crawford to remain relevant.
meanwhile, the winner of pacquiao vs thurman against the winner of spence vs porter...that's a bigger fight than any other in the welterweight division.
which means, spence is set for a fight against someone who has accomplished more at 147 and is also a bigger fight financially.
and that's why there is such urgency from arum. i get it. just do the right thing and let that man fly or he's gonna be stuck forever.
Dudes are pissed that Lomachenko is not fighting a 12-0 prospect but they're fine with Spence and Crawford marinating for 2 years. You can't even make this ****t up. Boxing fans are the worst fans in any sport and the sport is bar none the most azz backwards there is.
trust this
if haymon came to bob tomorrow and said 50/50 in vegas on showtime ppv...bob would backpedal big time..."oh wed rather wait till its huge..till it can do a million or more ppvs" or some other BS
hes only talking cause he knows its not gonna happen...he knows haymon can unify 3 belts in house over time....thats the only reason hes talking
Haymon won’t though so your point is hypothetical.
I’d rather see Bud fight Porter while Thurman fights Pacquao, but if Spence and Porter go at it I can’t be mad at Crawford/Brook to give them a common foe.
Keep in mind Errol isn't a baby anymore. The man is almost 30. He's not guaranteed to get big fights in the least, and if he misses this wave, he doesn't have enough time to wait for the next one. Manny can retire tomorrow, Porter has been in some wars, Crawford can get Gamboad at any time, and Thurman has been injured for 2 years.
WW can go from elite to trash in half a year.
GREAT post !
also, EVERYONE in the industry is well-aware that Bob looks after just one guy..... Bob
nothing you do today, in terms of dealing with him, concessions, symbiotic deals, nothing..... nothing is worth one red cent tomorrow, once Bob got what he needed today
there is absolutely no point doing Bob any kind of favor
LoL, can tell you've seen this movie a few times too.
We wait so much for these fights. I don't have to wait this long for Golden State and Houston. I was in my 20's waiting on May and Manny. I have grey in my beard looking like SubZero in Mk11. I have to wait on Joshua Wilder or Spence Crawford, man fuk that. I've seen Tiger win another Masters. This **** is ridiculous
I would look at it from another angle, if am confident i have the better fighter i would put Spence in there with Crawford and get the 4th belt to PBC. Then i can control the whole wleterweight division.
It's the best fight in boxing and all you do by delaying it is risk one of the two fighters slipping and the fight meaning less. I only care about watching great fights. I don't care about this promotor or that promotor. If the fighters want it then make it.
So you're saying that Tyson Fury doesn't want to fight Wilder again, Lomachenko wants no part of Mikey Garcia, Gervonta Davis doesn't want to see Lomachenko, and Jose Ramirez is ****ting his pants at the thought of fighting Prograis.
Good to know
you cant be no boogeyman when u have somebody out there saying they want to fight you!
Spence and Gaymon can do as they please. whatever suits
just please drop that "boogeyman" sht. its over with
As long as we fans keep accepting the second or third best, that's what we'll get.
With Hearn, PBC, Arum etc. they'll want the chances in their favour as much s possible.

You hated Bob when he was doing inside stable fights before. Now you're promoting Haymon to do the same kind of shyiieet? Your double standard mindset is showing up in here promoter fanboy
when did arum have the top fighters and world champions all in his stable?
