Comments Thread For: Terence Crawford Sues Top Rank For Breach of Contract, Claims Racial Bias

[JTfloyd]

"Bob Arum didn't honor career criminal George Floyd, so that must mean he's racist!" This lawsuit is nonsense full of unsubstantiated emotional drivel meant to sway gullible people. Dude is literally crying "racism" to get money he hasn't earned. Pathetic.

Does anyone believe this? It looks ridiculous to me. I will be amazed if he can make his case in court. If he doesn't have very very very concrete evidence of specific racial bias he's just whistling and hoping.
btw Bob is a lawyer. He went to a decent school - some place called Harvard.

Arum will counter sue and win easily. Crawford is a bonafide halfwit. it will be nice to see him used as a mop.

Wow, where did all the Crawford haters spring up from? I'm not a fan of the personality of Crawford, but I am a big fan of his supreme boxing skills. It will be hard to prove his race case but he has certainly been let down by Arum, who even said "let him (Crawford) promote himself" ...

I was literally about to post the same thing…..Crawford suddenly has a battalion of haters by the look of the comments…..things that make ou go hmmmmmm…….

I will add, however, that publicly discussing Crawfords sales and claiming he can't sell might be the only claim that has merit in that lawsuit. He might be able to go forward on that, and he very well could win on that claim.

He can't win, you halfwit. Put your money up.

A fool and his money are easily parted

The only thing that this lawsuit will achieve is fees for the lawyers

Probably not the best move to play the race card in a lawsuit, however Bob did say he killed the Pacquiao fight, that Crawford desperately needed! Bob did admit in the past, that he didn't know how to properly market Floyd to the "Urban" fan base! Bob has his own agenda, and Crawford wasn't part of it!

I would love for Bob to explain why he's so reluctant to let Shakur Stevenson fight Valdez. He didn't let it happen @ 126, and he doesn't want to let it happen @ 130, yet he was willing to let Navarette come up from 126, and make the fight now! However he is willing to make Shakur vs. Lomachenko @ 135 NOW! Something doesn't seem right with that logic!

Anyway, just another disgruntled Top Rank fighter! Oscar, Floyd, Cotto, Mikey, Pacquiao, and now Terence Crawford! Should've left a long time ago Bud! Hindsight is 20/20!

Yeah... regardless of how true this unprovable statement might or might not be, Arum doesn't lose in courts of law, because he doesn't leave himself vulnerable legally. This is really unfortunate if it leaves Crawford on the shelf like Mikey Garcia was.
