Comments Thread For: Bob Arum: I Think The Most Lucrative Fight For Terence Crawford Would Be Josh Taylor

[GucciGod]

Bob Arum once again selling snake oil for full price.

Nobody knows Taylor, he's undisputed but he's not exactly fan friendly in the states. He isn't even a hit in the UK.
Taylor only did number because of Ramirez and the Mexican fans, and Prograis was a top contender, so it drew some in the UK.

Crawford-Taylor at MGM, nobody will travel here for that like they did with Ricky Hatton, the former 140lb king.
I also think it's a easy fight for Bud, predicting a wipeout of Taylor in 7.

Biggest fight ranked.
3 - Crawford vs. Thurman in Florida/Vegas
2 - Crawford vs. Ugas in Vegas (last name to fight Pacquiao).
1 - Crawford vs. Spence (Jerry's World in Arlington) or Even Raiders Stadium in LV.

Somebody didn’t read the article. He said he could do huge stadium in the U.K. which they could. People on here saying it wouldn’t do that or that it would flop on PPV in the U.K. are off the mark in my opinion. They’re basing it off nothing. Josh credentials went through the roof after his fight with Regis and bud is becoming more known in the U.K. everyday. He’s a far bigger name then Regis was over here. Josh is well backed over here, he may of gotten ignored slightly by British media, that’s simply as he describes himself Scottish not British. They like a suck up such as Andy Murray.

No he isn't correct

Yes he is. Yes it would be huge. You are clueless my friend. Posting a thousand comments doesn’t give you any more credibility.

Taylor do a big stadium it's crazy to to believe that and both him and Bud would have to do 10x what they've ever done to do what good ole bob is projecting.
It's delusional to say the least to think either of these guys popularity has grown to that extent outrageous what because they beat Ramirez and Porter? GTFOH.

If Arum gets the 70,000 that he talks about then I think that's the biggest fight financially. I've got to say, I'm not sure I see that amount happening. I think maybe 40,000 at a push. Of course if you look at it from a boxing perspective, then for sure, Crawford's biggest option is Spence.

Spence is definitely the BIGGEST! Don't be fooled by the number in attendance! Floyd made more with less than 20,000 seats than Joshua made with 70,000! Consistently too!

Taylor did not do nothing in 147.

They need to make a catchweight to be fair.

[Mexican_Puppet]

Ugas, Ortiz, and the winner of Castaño and Charlo would be way better fights.

But Terrence wants the soft way

[Scopedog]

Why is Arum dangling this carrot in front of Crawford as if attempting to get him to sign again with TR? He spent all that time talking smack about him when he was under contract, is he trying to get him back again? Arum's motivations are hard to discern sometimes.

[Hotsauce91]

its a good fight but Spence vs Crawford is better

[Lefty0616]

Arum is right in that it will make the most money, but it's not the fight that real/most boxing fans want to see. Folks wanna see him fight Spence. Why not make that scorcher happen in May or June 2022.

Taylor will get knocked out early anyways. So why waste our time.

Utter rubbish. Taylor is relatively unknown in the UK, partially coz Bib is his promoter.
Crawfords unknown to anyone but the hard core outside the States, zero promotion outside the States.
1.5-2million numbers that's AJ level only.

It's just ****** if he believes that he's senile, it's not even debatable.

It is a good fight though, i'd like to see it,

"“I think it’s more [lucrative] because of the UK element,” Arum told a small group of reporters. “You have to understand, Taylor is huge in the UK, so is Crawford. We can do 70,000 seats and do probably a million-and-a-half, two million pay-per-view [buys]. "
