Comments Thread For: Bob Arum: Terence Crawford Will Be a Big Vegas Draw

[tiliheels]

I think you are underestimating Bob Arum. Broners brashness/social media got him his popularity but itll never be anywhere near the level Arum was able to take guys like De La Hoya, Mayweather, or Pacquiao.

dlh didnt need arum to be a star and bob did not make mayweather..he gets credit for pac, but all bob had to do 3was play the rankings until M.A.B. wanted a shot...pac's action made pac and the fans not arum..he lost his promoters touch a while ago imo

I don't think so. I think he's great for Omaha.... dunno about elsewhere.

How many people came to Texas?

If he keeps mowing down the competition the way he has he is going to be huge. He has all the talent in the world and he is an exciting fighter who knows how to finish off opponents. The only thing that will prevent it is if he becomes his own worst enemy. I hate to be this big on a guy this early in his career, but I can only think of a couple guys who can give him real work, and that is at 147.

I hope he does really well, he's a classy fighter who I'd expect to beat anybody currently at 140 or lower.

I gained a lot of respect for him after he wasn't afraid to go to Scotland and fight Burns, especially after what happened to Beltran.

So far he looks the whole package. Hopefully his growing rep doesn't give him a huge ego and bad attitude like some of his peers.

I don't think he's an all the time Vegas fighter...maybe a situational/opponent one.

Maybe, I don't know....I think his first one there will most likely be against Pacquiao

Arum knows what is about to happen to his golden goose PAC (this is why he avoided Mayweather all these years) so no he's looking for a silver lining in Crawford since he sold Bradley out to rebuild Pacquiao. Bradley's being double-crossed here.

[Mitchell Kane]

It's possible.

He'd need to be matched the right way, which Arum knows.

Fights against guys like Pacquiao or Marquez could be big events.

When people can see you as the best they will pay to watch you. I wonder how long it will be until Crawford leaves Arum. I give it 5 more years.
