    Hope it gets exposed on court that Top Rank actually lost money over crawford's welterweigth career. He is insane suing them claiming they ripped him off or discriminated against him when they over paid him to fight complete bums. Now the guy is a free agent and still fighting bums, looks like Top Rank wasnt the problem, crawford is
    LOL, Crawford still trains at Top Rank facilities. The suit is simply for a covid card Top Rank couldn't produce during the pandemic. It will be settled out of court. Arum and Buff even said they'd still work with him on promoting his fights. Wonder who is his official promoter for the current event? You always have a primary even if you have a company by name.

      Danny being undefeated doesn't mean squat hasn't changed what I said has it, he still hasn't achieved anything at 47 and porter still loses all his big fights...

        Let's not forget Spence adamantly claimed he would never give Thurman the opportunity Thurman never gave him. We're about to find out how truthful or hollow that statement was.

          Most dont understand politics whether its trump, *****, or Boris johnson so most not going to be intersted in boxing politics on why a fight cant be made. Protecting planet is hard and politicians have a hard time running countries and getting green houses down. But getting a fight made cant be difficult and on a scale of 1 to 10, getting a fight mades difficulty should be about 3 out of 10 at the most difficult. Protecting planet from green house effects is a 9 out of 10.
          Get the rematch made already, let alone first fight.

              You do understand TC is fighting a B grade guy that has been stopped and beat by Peterson, bet you don't answer it lol.
              Lol you're clearly delusional. We see organizations like WBC, WBA, and WBO always bend their rules for promoters the have relationships with. We've seen this done many times before with the WBA and WBC w/ the PBC. You're the one that needs to wake up........

              And nice try creating a straw man argument.....when have I ever talked/defended Crawford vs Avenasyan?

                If a former unified welterweight champion who lost to a HOF ATG is a tuneup, Avanesyan must be a literal homeless man.

                  It’s 2022 lass. Not 2019.

                    I agree Avanesyan was a much better fighter pre 2019, and even at his best he was Euro level, what in the world is crawford thinking!

                      I honesty think David is a better fighter than Keith these days.

                      The foreigner is being disrespected.
