'You don't leave Top Rank without a loss'

We've seen it happen with Pacquiao on two occasions. Crawford's team has been vocal about getting the Zepeda fight out of the way and leaving. Bob throws a wrench in that plan and has the WBO call the Porter mandatory forcing Crawford to take the fight to keep his title. Suddenly, after a year of dismissing this fight, Bob is now ecstatic about this fight.

We're about to see why Top Rank never wanted this fight and only wanted to cash Crawford out on Spence. The Bobfather don't play no games.

Floyd pulled it off and ditched tr w/o a loss

He bought his contract out though, didn't have a chance to have his final fight before the contract expires.

Yeah Floyd is cunning and exceptionally clever

no caveman approach of only letting the fists do the talking

Bob overpaid Crawford to block pbc from having a ww unification tourney. He couldn’t get him a big fight with Manny. He couldn’t get him quality ww fights. He wasted much of Crawford’s prime to fight a personal business war with Haymon.

I wonder if all of this was actually worth it? I guess so because fans blame Haymon and his fighters for “ ducking” Crawford yet Spence had big ppv fights, has unified, and secured a Manny fight, which is the biggest payday a ww fighter can get now.

Crawford meanwhile is frustrated with his career, looking to leave TR, hasn’t had a meaningful ww fight and watched Loma and then Canelo pass him on the p4p list.

Looks like leaving TR turned out great for Floyd, fishnets and Manny.

In other words look at Terence standing there like a sucker

he followed big bro Timmeh’s strategy but didn’t get to fight any greats

You told everyone Bob Arum controls the WBO and would never let Terence Crawford fight Shawn Porter.

I never thought about the Bradley connection with Bud and his unfounded TR loyalty. At least Bradley got 3 Manny fights and even a JMM to a lesser degree out of it.

I said without Bob's blessing. They got his blessing as explained in this thread
