    How does Arum supposedly lose so much money on Crawford yet makes money on Lomachenko, who does a lesser gate and also gets paid 3M+ a fight? Is it because Lomachenko's opponents cost less? What is Arum going off of? I mean ESPN is supposedly giving him 90M a year, so how exactly is he losing so much money on Crawford's fights?

      I dont think he loses a ton, but I could see how he might not be making money on Buds fights. Probably running close to break even. Believe it or not, it is VERY difficult to make money on a fighter. As a promoter, if ONE out of 20 guys is netting a plus, then you are lucky. I guarantee you that even after blowing a half-billion dollars, PBC isnt making money. I doubt Hearn is either. And I know damn well that after losing Canelo, Golden Boy is DEFINITELY losing money. All these companies are taking the TV money and trying to outlast each other. A race to the bottom............

        Forget making money, I just want to know how Arum is losing so much money on his biggest drawing gate fighter and wants to put him on blast yet has not said anything of this sort for his other fighters....Who do not draw as well as Bud? And how much of his own money is he putting into Crawford fight outside of the budget he gets from ESPN? The guy he is losing the most money unquestionably is Fury, who has a guarantee FAR bigger than Crawford's and is someone who doesn't hit the million mark on any non-Wilder fights.

          It’s hilarious that you don’t see PBC beginning the process to duck this fight.

            I dont know what you mean by "losing so much money"? How much is "so much"? Could he be losing a couple hundred grand per event? Sure, thats possible. Could he be losing $1million + per event? I cant see that happening. He would have offered him a release if it were that much money going down the drain.......

            But he is probably using Crawfords fights as a loss-leader. Sure, he loses a little overall, but he stacks those shows with his other fighters, gets a few of those guys on ESPN or ESPN plus, and hopes one of them develop into something.....

              Well, I just want to know how he is losing money off Crawford's fights and not on any other fighters fights. Why did he single out Crawford...his biggest draw?

              I mean if he can build a house in Beverley Hills in his last three fights as Arum mentioned, it is certainly more than a couple hundred thousand per event lol.

              But whatever, looks like the partnership between the two parties will end soon enough.

                I would suspect that is just Arum exaggerating and talking smack.

                  I absolutely could see PBC paying Porter to take a different fight. Saying Porter would duck Crawford though (as you did in a different thread), I'm not seeing that. I don't see Porter ducking anyone.
