Comments Thread For: Crawford Happy To Be a Household Name But Feels He Should've Been One a Long Time Ago

[ImDominicanLipz]

I don't think he's a household name YET

[peplz]

Go to Post #28! That's what I'm talking about! You can't approach a fighter who is under contract with a promoter! That's called tampering, and you could be sued for that! Crawford signed an extension with Top Rank, while Thurman, DSG, Porter, and Spence were all at PBC, then complains when he wasn't getting props for the fights he had @ 147! HE DIDN'T EVEN GET TO FIGHT PACQUIAO! So when he says, "I should've been here a long time ago," I agree, he should've signed with PBC a long time ago too!

You are so all over the place cherry picking and patching together sentences from multiple comments with your desperate attempt to promote some organization that no one cares about. No one watches boxing rooting for people who aren't even in the ring. You want to have something that you can complain about when it comes to Crawford. I get it. But this who he should've signed with silliness is about the shortest and thinnest straw that you can grasp at. Have fun...

What?! You just quoted my comment where I exactly said f u c k both of them. What on earth could you possibly be talking about? I don’t care about or “give props” to any promotional company. They have nothing to do with my love of the sport of boxing. I never said anything about you. Let alone about you being wrong about anything. Its not for Crawford to go sign with PBC. Its for PBC and any other prospective company that might be interested to approach him with a deal if they are interested in signing him.

Well, it takes fighters actually taking on major challenges for that to happen. Crawford waited till now to step up, it's not rocket science...

You dumb shet, Bud was ready and did fight in late 2022 while fat ass Spence was weighing around 190lb’s tried to blame Bud for failed negotiations at that time- wake tfu

[peplz]

However, you didn't say f u c k Top Rank! You only mentioned PBC! How did that happen? Besides, only one company actually made it happen! Arum didn't think it would sell! So am I wrong for giving props to the one that got it done?

Are you sure it will never happen? Dazn/MR are obsolete in 'Murica. GBP is ran by a cokehead. TR is hanging on by a thread to that ESPN contract. That really passed ESPN off when TR lost Bud. Teo is 2 months away from his contract expiring and Shakur obviously and desperately want to be with Bud at Showtime. If he loses those guys then ESPN will pull the plug. So don't be surprised if PBC is the last man standing in 2024. Thank you Al Haymon. Oh yeah and Canelo said PBC was the best promotional company. Yikes that hurt didn't it!!

The only one who is hanging by a thread where contracts are concerned, is PBC. Why else do you think they're letting their fighters go up against active fighters whilst inactive? They're the ones who usually do that to opponents before getting into the ring with them. Haymon is having a clear out sale and making as much as he can before the plug is pulled. Not long now. Haha.

Boycott? Hurt them? Boxing is not a political cause and I don’t want to hurt anybody. This is the whole point. Making boxing about broadcast networks and business affiliations over the merits of each fighter’s in ring abilities and performances only hurts the sport as a whole. Because we get people spreading ignorant ideologies about holding the fighter accountable for the corruption in the sport instead of holding the promoters, advisors, networks and media outlets accountable for their corrupt practices. So its not Crawford should have left Top Rank and signed with PBC. It’s f u c k Top Rank and f u c k PBC. These business guys are not sacrosanct!

TR at least provided him with stronger opps compared to PBC

Mean Machine was probably his strongest opp there, the dude was the only one to drop Bud if they counted that knockdown.

Benavidez almost went the full 12 rounds with Bud too.

Nobody at PBC will probably come close.

Not Spence
Not Thurman
Not Ennis
Not the Charlos

That's why TR fighters are bred differently

Exactly. Bunch of pbc fanboys claimed his opps were nobodies yet what happened to Spence mos def would have happened to that whole pbc stable of Welters. Fcuk em all. Real boxing fans knew Bud was the ONLY truth!

PBC =Protecting Boxer's Careers

[Smash]

thats a key test as to whether u have made it as a boxer or not, can u go to the grocery store without a bodyguard to protect u from those grannies and kids who may get too close, im delighted that bud has reached that level of success, he shouldnt stop there really, aim higher than household name, he should aim for his portrait or picture on household walls, imagine walking into a random household & seeing your face looking at u, i can only imagine the buzz that would give
