Comments Thread For: Bob Arum Explains Why Terence Crawford is Facing Lundy

[Bronx2245]

Did Postol turn it down too? Why isn't Crawford fighting Postol? Did Waddell & Reed block the Crawford vs. Postol fight Mr. Arum?

i see for rodriguez but not zavek but good for him.

Now i read somewhere that once you are ppv your purse dont go below a certain amount. Do you know if thats true

Here's the thing, Thurman has been getting $1 million plus per fight fighting semi-retired opponents. Some folks wonder why he still wanted a Mayweather fight when he'll probably get less than going with his typical routine. Maidana got $1 million in his first fight with Mayweather. Thurman got $1.5 m for fighting Guerrero, who got $1 million in the same fight... See where this sport is going?

fighters getting paid good to take punches to the face doesnt bother me.

There's much more dangerous professions than boxing. You act like death is imminent in every fight. You guys are so naive and childlike when it comes to these boxers.

idiot......

I wish Steve Kim had pressed the issue and asked Arum about Postol.

I feel as if Arum never gets pressed for anything he says, like the media just gives Bob a free pass whenever Bob makes **** up

I'm just telling you the way the rate it's going, all fans would be expecting are meaningless fights. If these fighters are getting this much, promoters will have a hard time making fights fans want to see. Most of these fighters are not even PPV materials.

Prolly letting Crawford vs Postol 'marinate'.

Beltran, Dulorme, Jean and now this. Crawford felt offended all cuz Jean said he'll take the belt back to Canada wonder how he feels about being fed this garbage.

Well this is just a spin from Arum cause we didnt hear it was a money issue till now. Matter of fact other reasons were pointed out and those so far seem to be made up. Its just another showcase fight which they all do it and have been the same for years and years so oh well.

And the fights fans want to see will be the big dogs of the division so i think they deserve to be paid well.

I hope PPV goes away completely so fighters not being PPV quality is fine with me. Fighters are the ones getting punched in the face and ribs, which i find worse, while the promoters just talk. Let the fighters get paid and promoters take less for a change
