Comments Thread For: Crawford vs. Diaz - Agreement in Place, on HBO, May 20 in Newark

[hhs661]

er maybe because it was a terribile fight and iman has zero business fighting for the title?

What was I thinking? I forgot John Molina, Hank Lundy and Dierry Jean were all HBO worthy fights.

Thanks

According to Dan Rafael


Amir Iman wasn't accepted by HBO.

Also this will be an Al Haymon fighter vs an Bob Arum.

Glad that Iman wasn't accepted by HBO. But he is the Mandatory. Crawford is gonna have to fight him next if he doesn't get that unification.

getting knocked out by granados made him mandatory?

Signing with Don King made him the mandatory

No, he actually lost by majority decision.

Diaz not with Haymon. But with DiBella.

True, unless he makes a unification fight with the winner of Burn vs. Indongo

I would've been fine w/ both fighters going against Bud. Wonder why HBO didn't like Iman as an option.

Because he got KO'd by Granados? HBO would have been attacked by angry, vicious mobs if they picked Imam.
