Comments Thread For: Arum On Crawford-Porter: I'm Optimistic We Can Get Deal Done With PBC For PPV Fight

Will TR go back to having Bud fight in Omaha? He seemed to sell very well at home but I don't know what the COVID numbers are restrictions are out there.

The worst thing that Crawford did for his career was to sign with Arum. Bob has too many problems with other people.
Mayweather gave all of these dudes the blueprint. Promote yourselves. In this day and age a promoter isn't necessary. They are just a middleman in the fighters pocket.

That’s exactly what al Haymon teaches fighters who sign with him which is why so many do and stick around. This is also a big reason he’s so hated by the old line of the boxing establishment….he’s forcing the game to change

Great fight, Porter would be the best opponent Crawford has ever fought in his entire career. If it leads to Spence-Crawford in 2022 assuming they both win, I'm all for it.

I do find it funny how Crawford is crying for 50/50 against Spence when he only can get barely above 50 against Porter lmao.

Who does Arum saying he's optimistic make me pessimistic?

Nobody at PBC is promoting themselves. TGB is the promoter for all their events.

Spence vs. Porter was 50/50. They each got $2 million.

Oh, ok. Thanks!

Great news, go to a purse bid, someone aligned with Haymond will win the purse, bud has his last fight under Lucifer and signs somewhere else. May the best man win, if they fight.

Don't believe for a second that the WBO ordered this without Top Rank's bidding. Arum and co. must have been having no luck finding a credible opponent, so they gave the WBO the okay to order this.

I'm optimistic that this fight can be made too. Both fighters were really trying to position themselves for a bout against Pacquiao. Now that Spence won the race to Pacquiao and $$$$$, the logical step should Spence beat Pacquiao, is to fight Crawford - that's if he doesn't decide to give Porter a rematch.
