      It's going to be interesting to see how things play out for Crawford in 2017. Arum now has the dilemma of trying to secure fights for Pacquiao, and yet Crawford wants to fight the same people, or Pacquiao himself. Arum tried to make Pacquiao vs. Broner, but I'm sure Crawford would've loved Crawford vs. Broner! Crawford wants a piece of Danny Garcia, but so does Freddie Roach! If Garcia wins, will Crawford get a shot, or Pacquiao?
      I never looked at it that way??? He's got two GREAT fighters both going after the same piece of pie??? Does he stay loyal and upset the youngster?? Or does he go ALL-IN on the new guy??? And the old timer get left out?

        Crawford is better promoted than anybody on Mayweather roster.

          Why not fight him at 144? Would be a great promotion!

            What the heck does that have to do with the topic at hand? SMH


            I think Arum is doing a real good job with Crawford. Kid is selling out in Nebraska and building his following. Meanwhile Floyd has a ton of fighters nobody knows. Heck he has had world champions who people outside of hardcores don't even know.

              Floyd is funny trying to get a meaningful fighter in his stable. He actually thinks Pac or Crawford would join his ridiculous Bronze Boy Promotions aka The Phony Team in a million years LOL. Can you imagine that **** Sucker LeonTurd Ellerbyotch trying to guide a superstar career like Manny's?

                LOL yeah if his career goal is to be 43 driving a Kia, still in debt to Top Rank and the IRS, taking HGH trying to compete with 26 year olds just to break even so he can get a job at Whole Foods without Arum Inc and the IRS garnishing his wages.

                  I think Bob has done a good job with crawford even though the Molina fight is an easy 80/20 fight.

                  It doesn't look like he will get the Manny or Loma fights and a chance to become a huge star. If he doesn't or Arum makes the fights at a CW that make it less likely for Crawford to win, you can't argue with the point Floyd is making.

                    Bob has done an excellent job with TC. Who would've ever thought Omaha, Nebraska would be generating those types of boxing crowds.

                      It's just an opinion and biased as a promoter. Floyd doesn't like other people's opinions, but he sure has a lot himself. Floyd also thinks that Canelo shouldn't fight Golovkin and that Golovkin should leave Canelo alone and move up (to 75?) to fight Ward. Nobody but Leanord Ellerbe is going to agree with everything Floyd thinks. I personally think Gervonta Davis has an insane amount of potential and should at least be on Crawford level by now, but he's not...Floyd clearly doesn't have that opinion otherwise he'd push Gervonta much better - I just found out the kid is fighting tomorrow. I think Keith Thurman is a great image for American boxing and I'm inclined to think he'd be a bigger draw under Top Rank, but different promoters work in different ways.
