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

[elegua]

Crawford needs a Big Golden Crown for the fact to be so long time pushed down for an old well known RACIST gangster.

[ShoulderRoll]

Arum badmouthed Crawford several times in public, a guy he was supposed to be promoting.

That part of the lawsuit will certainly have some teeth.

As far as the racism part...a previous poster already brought up what I was going to say. Why hasn't Arum given Shakur Stevenson the Oscar Valdez fight?

No Question it is a system in place by Promoters, Managers, Advisors...to keep their Top Prospects away from certain Fighters and Certain Styles and Cameron Dunkin Confirms this during a Interview...

on top of previous allegations years ago from former IBF President Robert Lee, claiming that Arum once told him:

'We will let the Blacks and the Latinos fight in the ring and we will count the money on the outside.'

this tweet from Bruce Trampler not long ago

Bud could have something here, not sure what was said to him in private meetings as well

I actually agree with notion that arum has some sort of predisposition to dislike coloured fighters as for the fact that they tried to sabotage his career this is what I think is BS. Arum trying to make money off TC he’s always said crawford is a SRL level type of fighter blah blah he’s never questioned his abilities. They put him on ESPN they put him on PPV crawford may say “oh he didn’t make the pacquaio fight he said in an interview he didn’t make it on purpose” that **** not gonna fly in court. Crawford about to get juiced by lawyer fees

[KillaCamNZ]

Crawford has zero chance proving he was hard done by, because Arum and Top Rank are rubbish at promoting everyone in the first place

[TreyShaw]

Crawford is racist towards Hispanics and whites so he's the ultimate hypocrite.

[trippleupper]

Who was that other boxer Arum once promoted... fairly well-known, I think...
someone by the name of...

oh yeah -- Muhammad Ali!

[Ry92]

I dont think arum racist yet crawford 100% has a case for what promoter openly trashes your best talent. I could see if he stayed in trouble like jon bones jones yet crawford not known for such. Crawford been knowm as a yes ni...

Race is a social construct. Shakur is half Latino as he is Puerto Rican. Some black people, even those who aren't african american, like haitians or jamaicans, say that those who are half black aren't even black. So it's very muddy.

[WBC WBA IBF]

Seems like a legitimate dispute over whether he's owed money from only being offered one fight in a year instead of two.

All the race stuff is just to smear Top Rank and put pressure on them to pay up for the fight Crawford feels he is owed.
