Comments Thread For: DiBella Doubts Arum Wants to Put Crawford in With Spence Now

[MisanthropicNY]

Arum is going to milk the Horn, Crawford Pacquiao triangle as much as he can. Once all the money is squeezed out then if Bud is the last man standing we might see Crawford vs Spence.

Arum will be dead by then... hopefully.

Dibellla just wanted to sneak a few jabs at Arum. There's no reason to even discuss it right now. We know what the ESPN set up is. Crawford has at minimum 3 fights before we can entertain the fight.

Interesting though. Lou basically just admitted that there's some private money tied up in that Top Rank - ESPN deal. Wish we got some public info on that.

I'm fairly certain that the "private money" likely refers to a possible Spence-Crawford fight going beyond what Arum can put on an ESPN show for (keeping some of the ESPN money for himself), and likely needing Espnppv to cover (of which DiBella seems to think that ESPN will not cover

I've seen a few people post about "ESPN PPV". I don't think I've ever seen ESPN do a PPV. Am I going crazy? Lol

Wow, I never knew. I just pulled up this old a*s press release and website for that fight. Classic stuff. I'm sure they lost a lot of cash on that one lol

Ehhh, kinda favoring Bud in this one. Arum already said this is a PPV fight and he has to build an outdoor stadium in Omaha before this fight can happen.

Arum needs to market his WW prospects more. Jose Benavidez Jr., Egidijus Kavaliauskas, and Konstantin Ponomarev.

Benavidez is finally getting back in the ring on the Ramirez ESPN card. Kavaliauskas is gonna be the co-main event against a former world champion on the Beltran ESPN card. That's a start.

Agree with the post except Ponomarev who keeps turning down eliminators.

Of course, your doing what all the other fraud promoters are doing with their Divas, Spoiled Brat Hearn- glass jaw AJ, Golden Girl- Canela, and now Bob the Joke Arum- Crawford...... I’m not surprised at all!!!!

Shut up b-itch and go back to sucking Al haymons ****, you *******!

Good win for Spence. He can only fight who is willing to. Honestly Lamont is only about the same level of fighter as Felix Diaz though. Bud vs Spence is 50/50.
