Comments Thread For: Terence Crawford Frustrated He Hasn't Had Same Fate As Canelo Alvarez

That's because Canelo isn't being held back by a crappy promoter who can't get him any fights. Blame the promoter and not the fighter.

Crawford isn't the problem here.

Plenty of Arum’s big fighters have had big fights. Fury v Wilder 2 and 3 were cross promotion fights. He’s done many more too.

So I don’t think we can automatically blame Arum when he’s proven he can and will make big fights for other fighters, regardless of promoters and networks.

i do think a big part of it is simply the PBC 147 guys could make good money fighting each other, so they just didn’t really need or want to fight Crawford. Plus the likes of Haymon are making more money with two in house fighters and passing belts around. Crawford isn’t big draw so they never needed him, too much of a risk.

The only time PBC fighters generally fight in a big fight against someone outside of the stable is when the money is far greater than it would be having two in house fighters, like Wilder v Fury.

I don’t think Arum or Crawford have been the problem. Just PBC can make more money for Spence v Garcia because they take a cut from both and Crawford doesn’t bring significantly more money.

Although to be fair, all promoters take this approach with in house fights. Arum used to arguably be the worst but PBC are now.

You actually have to fight elite fighters without being forced to by mandatories. You can't duck and hide with the Top Rank protection program with ESPN exclusivity. Hoodrat thug activities like that mechanic situation doesn't help. Refusing to help promote yourself on radio, podcasts, tv, interviews, etc... with people that don't overrate and suck you off doesn't help. Delusionally thinking you're the A side or deserve 50/50 to a guy that draws more and has more belts doesn't help. Thinking that beating Jeff Horn makes you the top welterweight doesn't help. The guy is a narcissist and delusional.

HIs own fault never should have resign with Arum

I disagree. Crawford is a grown ass man. Don't baby him. He's being a pussy.

How? He can only fight the fights that TR can secure for him. You've heard from Bob himself, he refuses to overpay for fights just because hardcore fans want to see them. The only mistake Bud did was re-signing with TR knowing they had no one to offer at 147.

Terence Crawford is not a mexican white boy with red hair. And he’s not a flamboyant loud mouth who will say or do anything in the media to exploit black stereotypes for negative attention like Adrien Broner or Deontay Wilder. Thats the difference.
