Comments Thread For: Stanionis Wants Crawford to 'Release the Belts' as He Searches for New Date

Yeah, look at Caleb Plant! All PBC did was get him a title and a fight with Canelo! PBC is a real racist company! LMAO!!!

I don't know if I can explain this without pissing people off but I think your missing the bigger picture.

1. The PBC never got Plant a fight with Canelo. Canelo's team dictated to PBC who Canelo would fight and Plant just happened to be white, Charlo black, and both beatable. The PBC went along with Canelo's wish list because the PBC made money.
2. The PBC doesn't give a shyt what race or religion a fighter is, but they do understand leverage and they allow surrogates to play to a loud, loyal racist base much the way Trump allows a certain group to thrive because he understands leverage. Are they racist? No, it's a means to an end goal and neither give a shyt about anyone but themselves and their money. People call Bob and Eddie whores because they can't hide it, to them it's just business, but make no mistake there's no daylight between DAZN, TR or Al's PBC.

I apologize for the last one, it may be a little tough to accept but some day you'll pull back and honestly see things for what are and not what you want them to be. Most things in America are a business, there are no good guys or bad guys just guys looking out for themselves. Every once in a while a fighter comes along with the idea of being the best and the powerful use them until they're either burned out or turn as cynical as the business they are in.

the problem is Stanionis is White... PBC prefers blacks... it's a racist Promotion company

Where do I start? Leo Santa Cruz named his son after Al. Mikey and Robert Garcia speak highly of Haymon. Canelo said PBC is the best promotional co. Caleb Plant is a lifelong Haymon guy. Andy Ruiz contract ran out with PBC but he still signed on for Al to be his adviser. Vito Meilnicki and his pops are with Al fir life. Man is PBC is a pro bkack racist company they sure are a veryl lousy one!

Stanionis is right, Crawford needs to give up them belts if he's moving up! The WBA won't do jack **** though! All those "secondary" belts should've been gone a long time ago!

As long as sanctioning bodies believe Crawford has another big payday, they won't strip Crawford any more than they will strip Canelo. Sure Stanionis is right just like Keith Thurman was right....right up until they get the belts and the money and then their tune will change. The sanctioning bodies will stay with Stanionis or Ortiz until the next money maker comes along. The IBF jumped to Ennis because one, he has no leverage and two, they're banking on him being they're next money train.

You, out of everyone in here, know this is the way the game is played.

It's hard to disagree with this when you look at the three fight deal with Canelo, and how PBC has treated it's Mexican and White fighters. Hell, even their black cubans get the back hand.

"Black Cubans get the backhand"????? Huh???? Erislandy Lara has held a real title consistently for the last 10 years. Guillermo Rigondeaux and Yoelvis Gomez were saved from TR and given new careers at PBC. David Morrell is on the fast track to becoming a susperstar. Yuriorkis Gamboa was given a PPV fight against Tank and another high profile fight vs Pitbull. So which "black Cuban fighters" are you referring to sir? Stop trying to get all the races to 'join forces' against the blacks. It makes you loom weak. Haha

Fights are’t being made. Boxers are growing long in the tooth. Just keep this up and fans won’t care anymore.

But one thing I'd like to point out is the fact that you recognized those cubans as BLACK. Just like BLACK Puerto Ricans like Subriel Matias and Felix Trina dad and all the black (not Spanish) fighters from the DR. Those are my BRUH-VAHS!

Stanionis' manager is Shelly Finkel, and the platform he fights on is PBC. The fact that Stanionis' career is completely stagnant is their responsibility.

Agree!
It is crazy that Vergil was the one with the health problem and he managed to secure his comeback fight before Stanionis and by the looks of it, Vergil is working on his 2nd fight at 154 before Stani has anything announced or lined up.

Ok so PBC hates white fighters and is racist because they haven't been a le to give Stan a fight. But GBP is not racist because they found a fight for Virgil after he recovered but they had the 2 black fighters Speedy Rashidi and Lamont Roach for years and couldn't find them a fight. So using your logic that means Oscar and GBP is a racist company. Did I mention the emails circulating through GB a few years ago. Racist huh????

The situation is very sad for 2nd tier fighters like Stanionis who don't make much money in this sport. They need fights to feed themselves and their families. Not to mention their training staff. They will fight anybody, literally. That's why rabid fans of overhyped fighters will never make sense accusing fighters like Stan avoiding fights just to overhyped their fighters even more. I suspect Stan will probably end up fighting high-risk, low reward, another 2nd-tier Kavaliauskas who is also desperate for fights.

I wonder how these people survive without income for 2 years.

What you juts commented is besides the point punk!! Stanionis has EARNED the right to fight the belt holder... if Bud doesn't wanna fight then he needs to let it go, but he's clearly scared

Aight, i see how it is! Funk you shythead. Don't fight for 2 yrs this is what happens azzhole...find a fight anywhere in 2 yrs. Stanionis...STFU!
