Comments Thread For: Spence On Crawford Missing Pacquiao Sweepstakes: Arum Talks Sh-t But Haymon Gets Job Done

[ShoulderRoll]

Having to build a new stadium. Having to secure capital from Dubai.

Bob Arum is always so full of sh**.

Man Haymon is just the best thing to happen to boxing in decades for the fighters. American boxing is lucky to have him. I strongly suspect that Haymon must have Igbo ***s in his lineage because the man is just a master businessman and he’s got to be one of “the tribe!”

Not necessarily ***ish. But perhaps Haymon is part of the Eastern Establishment/music industry/Illuminati tribe.

If I remember correctly in a few video interviews, Eddie Hearn addressed the disappointment by the British public in that they were not getting A.J vs. Fury at Wembley. Despite the prevailing circumstances caused by COVID-19, Hearn made it clear that the biggest purse for both Joshua and Fury is in Saudia Arabia -- one of the reasons why Ruiz-Joshua took place in middle-east and not in the UK or the U.S.A.

Laughing at Bob Arum investing in Tim Bradley, and losing 10 million

That is assuming if Bob is telling the truth or not about that lol.

Sure, but even if they didn't get a huge site fee from SA, they would have still put it in the UK if fans were allowed in full capacity. Arum threw the white flag and never even tried putting the fight in Vegas or anywhere stateside. TR just keeps throwing excuses after excuses for why certain fights can't happen with Crawford. It is what it is at this point.

Terence Crawford is being blackballed, Keith Thurman and Shawn Porter are asking for Canelo paydays ; they know that Bob Arum is not going to pay them Ludacris purses, the PBC have priced themselves out and are ducking Terence Crawford.

Erroll Spence, Jr is absolutely right. That's why Al Haymon is the greatest mover and shaker in boxing on earth.

Roll? Roll?

The UK is not even fully open nor can they fill up a stadium like Wembley.

I've repeated myself like a million of times here but it is obvious what is happening. Unless Arum has a huge site fee from the Middle East or if another promoter is responsible for their fighters purse, Arum simply is not going to risk it with Crawford. He keeps saying he can't sell and he has no confidence in him selling PPVs. Arum feared this was going to be another Pacquiao vs Bradley situation where TR supposedly lost like 10M on the fight. Personally? I think Arum is underselling just how well Crawford vs Pacquaio could have done or even Crawford vs Porter.

I would normally agree. But think back.

Bradley promoted the HELL out of that fight - with the fake rematch ticket and everything. And it still lost money.

Crawford refuses to self-promote at all and he damn sure doesn't half entertain at the pressers.

Both guys were coming off C-level wins. Casamayor might have been a solid fighter in his prime, but he was at the end of his rope when Bradley stopped him, same as his buddy Crawford with Brook.

That's why I don't put stock in Crawford's stoppages because it's the same thing as Bradley - it's against lesser guys with their most significant legit coming many years prior (for Bradley, that was Junior Witter).

Bradley got upped a bit by beating Marquez, but let's be honest: Dinamita was also at the end of his rope by that point and it was a stylistic nightmare.

Ultimately, Arum has himself to blame for his matching. It sets guys up for financial failure down the road. We've seen it time and again. Only those guys smart enough to leave, end up successful.

Not true at all. You're being a Crawford fanboy, and spreading Top Rank propaganda. Keith said he never asked for 10 million, he thought it was up to them to make him an offer, which they didn't. Kenny Porter said he actually went to Arum's office, and Arum told him they weren't prepared to make an offer either.

What BOTH Keith and Shawn said is that they weren't accepting that ridiculous 1 million dollar flat-fee Bob threw out there.

No one is asking for Canelo pay days, relax lol. Kenny Porter didn't even demand anything with his meeting with Arum and just asked for a ballpark offer and Arum never got back to him. It's actually easy to see what is happening here and it's not one guy getting blackballed....Unless you are talking about him getting blackballed by his own promoter?

[PeepeePoopooMan]

Lol its an investment. Gaymon hoping in the long run spencer will be a star since his shine was fading. Definitely would of gone off if he fought ugas. So he pretty much had no choice.
