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

Yes top rank is so terrible. They forced hankey to a 3 fight deal where he made millions of dollars, unified the titles and got a gift against one of their own fighters lmfao top rank so bad

TR lost fishnets, floyd and crawford. All 3 went on to make their biggest paydays outside of TR. Floyd and Crawford both complained about how TR was marketing them. Crawford is suing TR.

TR is good up to a point in a career. Then its time to cut Bob out when he refuses to make fights the boxer wants.

Haney was forces to sign with TR to get that fight. You and others only complain when PBC does this.

He beat Kambosos and Loma fairly in the ring.

Isnt that what TR does at LW- force guys to sign with TR to get title fights?

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...

stank davis doesn't take on challenges. What gives? his best opponent is still pedraza all those years ago and pedraza was never elite or a major challenge. Is it all about being pushed by the machine? I think that's what it is! crawford really never had the machine really push him full steam ahead. Top Rank has a lot of fighters in their stable so they couldn't focus only on him they did try with crawford. not that it mattered though because pbc was always going to freeze him out regardless.

Is he a household name now?

that's why Top Rank fighters 9 times out of 10 beat pbc fighters and usually they do it easily. Seriously go check out the record when they fight. I think there is something to that. We all know that as long as crawford was with Top Rank the pbc fighters would never face him. So he went the free agent route. You can see the pbc shills on here are trying to do the same with shakur stevenson. the difference is that pbc does not have a lock on the lightweight or super lightweight divisions so that crap won't work.

O just shut up. Bud, like Canelo, are PBC fighters now. Stop hating. MR is irrelevant. GBP is run by an alcoholic and cross dressing cokehead. Al Haymon runs the game and he's black so deal with it. Now that Bud (who is also very black) is now with PBC you have the green light to stop pretending you like him. The same with Shakur when he crosses over to Showtime. Oh and just to make your blood boil Ryan will probably be with PBC before the end of the year. Hahahahahahaha

Bud it came when it was supposed to come.

Fighters like you, Pernell Whitaker. Need an alter ego. A gimmick. You wasn't trying to sell your soul to make a fast buck much respect.

everytime bud says this type of stuff, im here but i should have been years ago, arum shifts a bit uncomfortable in his seat & needs a few extra drags out of that nice weed later in the evening to calm his mind, its a slight dig at him & his handling of crawford, just a little nick, arum might say listen bud i lost money on everyone of your fights lol, 2 sides to every story, but which is the Truth, it took the truth to elevate bud to this nice level but the ironic thing is that it was actually one of his easiest fights in the end

the next time someone doesnt recoginse bud down the grocery they are gona get smacked around by him
