How Petty was The PBC For This?

In some circles yes, in others, no. Showtime recognizes the WBO, Fox doesn't. Has nothing to do with PBC. When Showtime PBC events show on screen graphics of a division's champions, WBO champions are listed. On Fox PBC, they aren't listed. Even if it's a PBC fighter. Thanks for the breakdown. Appreciate it!

Check out their highlights from the Pac - Thurman fight. Pretty sure there was a knockdown and Pac won the fight although from this you wouldn't have guessed. You are kidding right? This has to of been tampered with. I can not believe they will show a quick highlight vid and not include a knock down.

Sadly for non pbc fighters and fans, Pbc has monopoly at welter and can do inhouse champ vs champ without them risking a loss to Bud. Disrespectful not to mention Bud as champ tho.— Known as Shrek (@Ausogre) July 21, 2019 Post-fight show on FS1 just put up banners of the champs at 147 and they conveniently left @terencecrawford off the graphic. I know he isn’t with PBC, but he’s a champ, and he’s a beast. #boxing #PacquiaoThurman— T.L. States (@epmornsesh) July 21, 2019 Oh definitely lol hell according to the PBC, he doesn't even exist. They left him off their WW champs graphic— Hasheem IStillBeat (@ThePTEShow) July 21, 2019 You know the hate is real when they don’t acknowledge the fact that you a title holder ������— Terence Crawford (@terencecrawford) July 21, 2019 Lol PBC didn't show Crawford in that graphic #PacquiaovsThurman— Dasearchfor7 (@dasearchfor7) July 21, 2019 They left Crawford off the list tho ��������— Raging Babe (@RagingBabe) July 21, 2019 Check out their highlights from the Pac - Thurman fight. Pretty sure there was a knockdown and Pac won the fight although from this you wouldn't have guessed.

As if Top Rank features or discuss PBC fighters on their telecasts

The PBC did not want to promote Terrence Bud Crawford and that got people talking about Crawford on Social media and look here is a 10 page thread about him too. What a fail that was by the PBC.

PBC rarely mentions other networks. Reason why they get the hate But yes. Mad weak I think Bud beats their whole welter roster one after the other

Why would they show crawford?? The guy is the "Pound for pound King" whos getting prepared to fight Egis kavaliauskas who's coming off a draw. And then he'll fight mike alvarado next. LMFAO.

Who cares lol. I forgot about Crawford up until this thread. He is an irrelevant Dove.

Not recognizing WBO title in any capacity anymore— Mark Ortega (@MarkEOrtega) July 21, 2019 There you have it, looks like the production team was given orders to not recognize the WBO title.

Definitely wrong for not including Crawford. You don't even have to talk mention Crawford, but he should be on the graphic....Since he is a WW champ. But when they had Andy Ruiz on the set, and they showed highlights of the Joshua fight, it said "IBF & WBA World Heavyweight Title Bout" with not mention of the WBO title. So it may be a bigger thing than just Crawford and in general with the WBO. Fox doesn't recognize the WBO as a major title.

Out of site, out of mind. Psychological ploy. sight** No need to give promotion to someone who you don't promote.

Spence is the undisputed lightweight champ after his Mikey Garcia victory. No it happened above that weight class.

how does it keep him away? why won't pbc work with top rank? Pacquiao fought for years under top rank and faced many top welterweights before he left Arum messed up in trying to screw over Pac, he was loyal for years but after the Horn debacle he was given inside info that it was setup so Pac can rematch Horn etc etc (apparently that is what was done to him with Bradley and he let it slide the first time) Pac wasn't having that BS this time around and the icing on the cake was the attempt to have him be the "co-main undercard" in the Crawford-Horn fight. Crawford signed and I bet was promised by Arum that Manny would "pass the torch" to him but now that's in the wind. I'm telling you this, lets say Manny beats the winner of Spence-Porter, he will NOT give Arum another payday and retire instead of fighting Crawford. Arum **** the bed and got too greedy, Bud Crawford is paying the price.

If that's the case then I actually support that. They're all bad but the WBO takes the cake in terms of being transparently corrupt. It should be de-recognised I actually made a thread about this after Ruiz beat Joshua. All of Fox's coverage ignored the WBO. The on screen graphic when Ruiz was interviewed on Inside PBC Boxing just said IBF/WBA champion. The on screen graphic showing all the heavyweight champions only showed the WBC, IBF, Super WBA and Regular WBA. Same thing they did last night when discussing welterweight. It's an editorial decision by Fox to only recognize the original three organizations, just as Sky decided years ago to stop recognizing the IBO. Networks have their own policies when recognizing titles. Showtime continues to list WBO champions in their graphics on PBC broadcasts.

Crawford should be more mad at Top Rank & ESPN lack of promoting him. That's not PBC's job. Arum wouldn't even get Crawford the fight 2 years ago. That shows how little faith he had in Crawford becoming a star I could give a phuk about all that promotional battle bs. Its a bad look from FOX to say here are all the Welterweight world champs and ignore crawford they lose creditability. HBO or showtime forever spoke and mentioned other champions even if they weren't signed or fighting on their network. DAZN talked about this fight and mentions other world champs not signed to DAZN so does ESPN. PBC has now become some proganda like you see from 3rd world countries that don't have free press trying to lie to fans like Crawford isn't a welterweight champ when he is ranked pound for pound the best fighter in the world ahead of every PBC Champion? SMH Mentioning Crawford when speaking about the welterweight landscape isn't promoting Crawford you idiot it's called accurately reporting the news!

lol that was pretty pathetic.

LMFAO that is pathetic yes... I bet you would never see sh#t like that on ESPN or DAZN. They always show and talk about ALL the champs. Not just the ones in their own company while pretending the others don't exist. Wow

:lol1::lol1::lol1: Crawford should be mad at Arum for not making the Pac fight. That could have been him beating the **** out of Pac on PPV, but Bob didn't want to make the fight.

I've never seen UFC mention Bellator fighters in their weight class when promoting UFC. UFC is about promoting UFC fighters, not Bellator. MMA news shows talk about all the MMA fighters not just the UFC fighters It's really not that hard to understand That is a real lame attempt at a comparison. But like i said, their attempt at a lack of promotion of Crawford has resulted in promotion of Crawford. It seems everybody noticed his name not among the list of champs even though he is one and now we are all talking about him.
