    Lmao Bradley was fighting a long time before pbc was even thought of. ******ed comparison. Even though Deontay Wilder net worth is more than his lmao. So was Khan but he recently left pbc so I won’t use him as an example.

    Floyd is a lock unlike Bradley to be in the HOF since you’re using retired fighters as an example.

      You made a great point with Mikey lol he spent all those years with Top Rank and never earned 1million dollars. It only took him 1 fight under PBC to make 1million. Crawford is leaving Arum it’s just a matter of win. Only idiot to stay with Arum forever was Pacquio
      Mikey was already making $700K - $800K when he left Bobfather fighting fighters someone already beat.
      His first 2 non TR fights made him a total of $700K. Yuk! 2 fights for $700K!
      Like mentioned, Crawford only had to fight Lundy, Jean, Molina, Postol and make more than $1 mil/fight.
      Spence was bribed by Haymon for $3.5 mil because Hoya was trying to sign him up. Had nothing to do with Peterson. LOL.

      Unlike you fanboys who crazily suggest they leave TR for PBC, which is plague with inactivity,
      I'd suggest PBC boys should sign up with Hearn or UK promoters.

        The great thing is they can sign up with promoters of they wish...and still be under the PBC banner and Haymon Boxing.

          are a lot of people telling him to leave? maybe because he had a fight a month out n it had no venue, no ticket sales and no push or promotions. if hes fine where he is then okay but that was pathetic.

            Crawford has been getting more than $1.2 mil fighting the likes of Lundy, Molina, etc.
            Almost the same amount given to Garcia, Thurman, Porter when they fought each other.
            Mikey Garcia had to fight Broner to get his first $1 mil.
            Do you really want Crawford to fight once a year just like Part-time Boxing Champions (PBC)?
            Bob Arum runs a closed shop; if the fight doesn't happen to the benefit of Arum, the fight doesn't happen, full stop.

            PBC, hate if you want, is basically an open shop; if the money is there, both fighters want the fight, and there's a TV date, basically any fight can be made.

            Terence Crawford is fighting at 147 for Arum, and the only viable fights for him that Arum is willing to make are the Horn fight, Jose Benevidez, Ponamarev, and Pacquiao, all of which are only even options if extra money gets put up by someone not Bob Arum.

            Activity for activities sake, for fans anyway, is pretty silly; if Crawford was only getting 1-2 fights per year, most folks would be more than happy with those being meaningful fights.

              Haymon fighters have shown they will fight anyone if the otherside is willing to deal.

              I.E. Khan vs Canelo, Danny Jacobs going to HBO, etc etc. Top rank fighters only cross over when it only benefits them with the odds in their favor.

              Basically everyone knows top rank is the main reason fights dont happen, yuo can ask Oscar that, Mayweather that, Or even Mikey Garcia that and I'm sure in the future you can ask Crawford that.

              Crawford is gonna have to ask himself what kind of fighter he is? either the bradley 2.0 who happy to get overpaid by top rank to fight subpar fights or will he bet on himself like mayweather and try to make something great happen?

                    spences purse was 1.5 mill unless you have behind the scenes info for us. if haymon is paying guys behind the scenes why did garcia fight lipinets and not somemone good? cherry picking because old senile grandpa is giving away all his money

                      Bradley did fine for himself. Got the Pacquiao fight he wanted and made good coin.

                      Crawford’s situation isn’t as good. He’s got a really washed up Manny. Maybe not even that. The landscape isn’t as green. Doesn’t mean he has to leave. He just has to force his promoter to play ball.
