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

[Bigg Rigg]

Not for nothing but a lot of boxer make way more than they are actually worth. I ain't mad at them though cuz this is an unforgiving sport. Im just saying, a lot of fights can't get done cu ppl think they deserve more. Arum is a b1tch, always has so don't forget that when u guys read my post. Dude is the rematch and in house King. Thing about al is that it's a problem to even make in house fights cuz he has to pay both guys big money for a fight that's not even big. Thurman-Porter being drug out like its a super star match up. It's a regular fight.

I find this line of thinking ironic when you spew it from the safe confines of your own house.

Spew it? Lol you're a clown. A fact is a fact, I can "spew," it from anywhere.

You tried to mitigate the danger involved in being a professional boxer but I'm the clown? We call people like you "keyboard warriors". I guarantee you've never set food in a boxing gym let alone a boxing ring.

Lol I've done things much more dangerous than participate in a boxing match. Not everyone online is a ****in geek like you whose most dangerous activity is being in a boxing match. My point was there is much more dangerous jobs than boxing and those guys aren't asking for a million dollars to perform the task. The world doesn't work that way. So, spare me, "they deserve it because boxing is so dangerous," act. Only spoiled brat boxers and deluded fanboys, who don't know how the world works, believe that.

Some of you pacfans still see Arum as a kindly old man and father-figure

He has milked the Manny-cow, now he will skin it and hang it out to dry.

Haha, I'm not even trying to come across like some killer, but that clown thinking boxing is one of the most dangerous activities in the world, and those who don't agree with that are, "keyboard warriors," is honestly laughable. It just shows how inexperienced and sheltered he is.

So let me get this straight. You put on a price for a challenger for your fighter and no one bite on it because they feel as though the number is to low. That is not greed that's good management.

What kills me about B.A is that he blames Haymon for overpaying his fighters which is cause him to pay more out of his pockets to try and find the right challenger for his fighter. But he's also suing Al for trying to take advantage of his fighter by being both manager and promoter.

I hope Al Haymon prevail and force promoters to promote the right way and stop standing in line waiting for HBO to to feed them.

But I do have a question.

Why is it a problem for Al to sign fighters at any rate he so chooses, but it's ok for HBO to sign fighters to exclusive contracts where they own every right.????

I'll say this, I live in Chicago and saw Lara fight, PBC does a hell of a job getting their gates and promoting. The fight was advertised on busses billboard streets signs commercials and it was for Lara! Granted Spilcka fought too and he's Chicago based but this is how you promote. Arena was a near sell out and the environment was live.

Well PBC also did the event for Thurman-Collazo and that didn't look all too well and word is that they didn't get billboards and ad spots on buses to sell the fight...
