Comments Thread For: Arum, Crawford Waiting to Discuss Fighting Horn in Australia

[turnedup]

Crawford would be dumb as fk to go to Australia for this..if he didn't learn from the Pacquaio fight he probably shouldn't be boxing. Any name willing to go to Australia and fight Horn better get him out of there in the first half of the fight because if that shhh goes the full twelve you are going home with an L on your record. Too much money to be made by too many shady politicians involved in this, also wtf is it with Horn only fighting in Australia now?

horn the hack

They say boxing is a business disguised as a sport

Arum says he is worried about who officiates?!
Horn wont need a referee if he fights crawford or anyone good - he will need a priest.

horn the hack quit stringing us along with your espn top rank trash

Too bad that Crawford will have to travel. Only will make it better when he beats Horn to a pulp in front of his home fans.

It will just add to his resume if 2 of his first 3 divisional titles are won abroad. I eagerly anticipate the new excuses that the usual suspects will concoct.

If there's more money in Australia then go for it. It's an easy fight. Pacquaio-Horn was close enough to steal because Horn was competitive. Against Crawford he won't be able to get much done. At best he can win 3-4 rounds if Bud has an off night and he improves but that's it and that won't be enough to even win a bogus decision.

For selfish reasons I want it in Vegas.

Horn vs. Crawford

Go to Australia and take the belt from Horn, like Spence did Kell Brook. This will be super hype for Crawford. I don't believe we will have to worry about judges here! This is the position Bob Arum was wanting (fixed Pac fight). I'm telling you now, once he beats Horn (tough fight), and brings the belt home! He will call out Danny Garcia, because I would if I'm a prize fighter! He is the one name that if he beats, will put Crawford as one of the top 3 in the division! With only three fights! Bob Arum has game or he knows this business inside out! Perfect positioning with his new cash cow! There will be no more light fights for this division!

Horn got a government subsidy? Tax payer money? No way anybody gets out of Australia with a decision win. Anyone who beats Horn will be taking food off Australian tables. They are not allowing that.

The beautiful business of boxing!!!


The only way Horn got Manny is if Bob had options on him. Now Bob controls Horn and who he fights. If Concoran wins, they have options on him and who he fights also, which will be Crawford.

More goes into selecting an opponent than choosing the easiest bum you can find; the bum also has to give up rights/autonomy in order to get the big fights. Few fighters with a name will do this.

Same reason no-one would fight Cotto, so GBP picked on of their own in Sadim Ali.

I'm afraid terence will suffer the same fate as pac was in kangaroo land. The judges there are beholden to horn as if he is a messiah. A unanimous card for horn speak for it no more no less.
