Comments Thread For: Bob Arum Casts Doubt On Crawford's Mental Fortitude To Beat Spence

[Combat Talk Radio]

I fail to see what Bud has done recently that shows some mental slippage.

Filing a lawsuit about racial discrimination against a guy that promoted the most successful black fighters in history, for a start.

Being a tattle tail is a very bad look. Growing up you must have been very untrustworthy. I bet you got left in the dark by your peers. Nobody likes a snitch. Were you “that guy” who would tell on a man for being unfaithful to a girl you adored who only kept you in the friend zone? Try to be the knight in shining armour hoping she would like you more than a friend?

Joe, I cant help keeping the peace, I can only be trusted to tell the truth.

Though I don’t agree with Crawford litigating based on the “race card”, this is obviously Arum’s butthurt response. Crawford hasn’t shown any lack of preparedness in the past. His ko ratio is 100% at WW and he hasn’t been in any wars.
Just make the fight!

Context Context Context …. Arum did promote black fighters but money was the bottom line. He was not doing it out of charity or goodwill.

The actual suit is over a covid purse which Arum didn't deliver. I could see a lawyer convincing Crawford to add the RD in for good measure.

^^^Exactly! Just like in a simple damages case, throw in anybody with money with any reasonable relation to the events as a defendant when you file the case and see where it goes.
If this lawsuit is the kind to throw Bud into a mental loop, he has been in the wrong sport all along.

Arum didn't like Crawford accusing him of being racist so he is giving it back to Crawford. Advice to all--keep race out of it unless it is obvious and provable. Race-baiting is bad for America and the world.

So to you Arum is a racist? If so what evidence do you have?

1hours true identity revealed, he is Brian Stelter.

arum talked **** about crawford in the media while he was his actual promoter which is wrong and opposite of what he is hired to do


but still at the end of the day he over paid crawford for the draw that he was and I dont recall crawford ever demanding or pushing for fights with PBC fighters, he was more than happy to fight whatever stiff that Arum threw at him for 3-4 million.


I dont think crawford has much claim being he was overpaid and never pushed for matchups outside of top rank
