    No but theres Pacquiao and Ponomorov on top rank as well as brook, mathysse, and bunch of other top 20 welterweights who fight for different promoters so crawford will keep busy too after he wins the wbo and keep getting bigger and bigger fighting on espn. The question is will the top guys at pbc duck him? Diaz and molina are pbc so we know its possible for arum and haymon to work together so if crawford vs the top guys at pbc cant get done we'll know theyre ducking crawford. After crawford gets the wbo and becomes top dog at 147 the pbc guys wont be able to duck him forever
    Only reason Diaz and Molina got done was because Arum knew that they were no threat to Crawford. Crawford was easily going to beat them so he wasn't asking for anything else than just that fight. For the likes of Thurman, Danny and Spence, you can bet that he would ask for options and want the fights on ESPN.

      It's a great matchup but I'm not convinced it does that well on PPV anytime soon.

Mikey garcia ran to haymom when arum tried to put him with gamboa for a million dollars and chavez jr ran to haymon when arum tried to put him in with ggg for 8 million. Put loma in with russel jr his second fight coming off a loss ect ect i could go on forever
        C'mon, we all know by now that Garcia didn't take the fight because of the contract extension attached to the Gamboa deal.

          It’s not a myth. Besides Loma name another top rank guy with a consistently fighter good comp. bob knows how to play the game, gives that persons fan base just enough to make them think the fighter they like is doing something.
          Bob can get it done if he has to. Look at Loma. Every fight gets made because Loma demands it.

            How is Bob going to get Horn out of Australia? It was all good until I read that. Nobody else will pay Horn more, especially to see him tune up vs Juan Nadie. That title might as well be on a kangaroo.

              In my opinion it's the best fight that can be made in all of boxing..Might not do giant numbers with the casuals but I don't know a fight fan that wouldnt be talking about this for months..P.S. 100 quints on Spence

                I say for that fight to sell at least a Million Spence has to knock out Thurman. Right now that fight is about 250 K buys

                    Oh please, your soo full of sh/t, it's a great fight, but lets not talk crazy

                      Agreed. It's a Leonard-Hearns type of matchup in terms of skill, ability, and legacy. This is what legends are made of.
