Who's REALLY freezing Terence Crawford out?

[Combat Talk Radio]

Because many people here kept saying it was PBC.

But...Arum has failed to get Crawford a big fight.

Spence won the pony with a Pac fight.

Recent news speculates a Porter/Thurman rematch (not sure why, but eh) and possibly pairing Mikey against Ugas (strange stylistic match).

With Teo busy, Taylor busy, etc.

Meanwhile, even Mr. Gary Russell Jr. and Blair 'The Flair' Cobb stopped calling Crawford out.

Ennis made some chatter, but Crawford ignored him. Same with Ortiz.

Crawford is frozen out, but not by PBC.

The only one currently asking for Crawford is Hank Lundy for a rematch. That's a damn shame.

Bud has no leverage. Usually a top P4P guy that has a contract expiring would have the juice to force his promoter to get him a big money fight or risk losing him.
But Arum doesn’t care if he walks because he’s on record saying he’s losing money on him and can’t afford to put him in big fights. He can only afford in house budget fights against faded guys like Khan or Brook who won’t demand much.
If Bud still chooses to stay with Top Rank then we know he’s just fine hiding behind Arum and coasting into being quickly forgotten when he’s done.

Arum's said that he doesn't want to pay for Crawford's last contracted fight because he loses money. So its an issue between the promoter and fighter. PBC doesn't have anything to do with it.

Bud froze himself out.

Arum is frustrated with Bud cuz he costs him money, he is a great fighter but he doesn’t scream and shout and crash cars drunk and trash talk all the time so Bob doesn’t feel Bud pulls his weight in the self promotion front so now he is being a bit of a cvnt with him.

At the same time Bud has Haymon and Spence running scared cuz they feel Bud beats Spence and Spence is one of Master Als ppv stars so not only has he got Spence running to his farm and pretending to not understand why Terrence is at his fights calling him out, master Al also has his other bigger name Welters doing all they can to make Crawford come across as irrelevant or a fraud. Doing all they can to play him down to try take the pressure and blame off Spence being a duck job.

PBC.

It isn’t Crawford’s fault Pacquiao demanded $40 million to fight him.

Because of that insane demand, everyone had to rely on financing from the Middle East.

He took half to fight Spence.

Bud is to blame , he resigned with Bobfather in 18' and has fought cans ever since ...

Bud's words :

"I am the best fighter in the world, hands down. ESPN is the biggest brand in sports and Top Rank is the biggest promotional company in boxing," Crawford said. "This was a no-brainer for me and my team. All of the super fights that the world wants to see will happen. Mark my words. Like I've said before, I want all of the champions in the welterweight division."

re: the bold.

To be fair, he never said HE would be in the super fights. He said they would happen.

Keef/Manny was a superfight

Spence/Manny is about to be one

Porter/Danny was a superfight

Spence/Danny was a superfight

Spence/Mikey was a superfight (shouldn't have been)

Spence/Porter was a superfight


So technically he told the truth. We ARE getting the superfights.

The energy that the OP spends on Crawford is pretty amazing. He must be bud number one stan.

And now, Ortiz is apparently moving on to Kavaliauskas.

Now, if Ortiz sparks Kav in less rounds and without getting dropped...it means Ortiz is an even bigger threat than we think.
