Comments Thread For: Horn-Crawford Card Postponed Due to Crawford's Hand Injury

[Larry the boss]

It is possible. Horn is the first opponent that is Crawford's size, so that might have him scared. Or maybe Bud just needs 10 months after that Indongo fight to recover.

Is Crawford ducking the Horn??

very possible. i sense they didnt take horn serious and as the fight gets closer, they realized that they're nowhere ready and a lost to the school teacher would derail crawford's career big time. smart move whoever's in crawford's team responsible for this.

The fight had zero promotion why go on with the schedule date Crawford fake injury or not smart move to pull out the fight.Crawford need to leave TR when he gets the chance.

This is a fake injury. I'm disappointed with Top Rank. It's pathetic that it was taking them this long to announce this fight. Crawford will have been 10 months out the ring when he fights Horn. That sucks.

Yep you nailed it, Crawford in the prime of his career sitting on the sidelines for 10 months while TR gets their sh** together. The whole thing is a joke.

I'm calling bull****. Arums trying to move this fight to the undercard of the Loma vs Linares may 12th date

Hahaha

Why the eff does Bud get all these passes? Dude is 160 pounds in the ring and has never fought anyone his size. And he moved up as soon as Mikey and Prograis got their chance at 140. Now he is picking up a paper title.

Everyone crying about Mikey fighting the #1 ranked jww for a belt, should be up in arms over Bud picking up a paper title from the 6th or 7th best welterweight. Another easy belt and another weight. No wonder Bud only fights bums like Horn, his fanboys eat it up. Hey, Arum has promoted Bud so good, he can sell out in Omaha! Sure, he's less of a draw than Ward, and he's never fought any elite opponent, but lets just praise him as a top p4p fighter.

The reason this is postponed is because Arum has no idea how to scrounge together enough money to pay Bud for taking on bums. Guess what? Horn is the champ and thus entitled to 70% if he wanted. Not getting that I'm sure, but he is getting paid. Then you have to pay Bud 7 figures. And he has been promoted so well, he can sell 50k ppvs.

hbo isn't paying for Bud. espn isn't going to pay him a million plus for fights like Indongo and Horn non-stop. Bob is trying to get Manny on the card so it will sell enough to afford to pay Bud. He fought in August 17 and his next fight is in June 18. Not active and still not fighting the best. At least Horn is about the same size. Which will be a first for Bud. Maybe in another four or five years Bud will finally fight a top ww.

Hahaha. Good one. Horn isn't even in the top 10 buddy.

Jeff Horn is an absolute animal man. Pacman straight up ducked the Jeff Horn rematch in Australia AND in Las Vegas. Now Crawford has asked for postponement. Is anyone ready for Jeff Horn!!!??

[komandante]

Top Rank is worried it will not sell.

I wouldn't say this is fake at all. Duckż?? He is postponing not calling it off. Ever break a hand in a fight you don't feel it right away but later if not there next day you can't move it. so any injury at all to the hand of a boxer is a big deal.
