    Arum needs to just retire now

    I think Crawford would be better off with Haymon and Showtime that's providing he's kept active.

      Crawford has the charisma of a rock. maybe that's why he hasn't made appearances on ESPN shows.

        Yes, I have noticed that. I am really looking forward to Crawford giving Horn a beating. Horn is an arrogant bragger who has himself extremely overrated and deserved to lose the Pacquiao fight by a wide margin in my opinion. I think Horn is in for a harsh dose of reality and will find out why he is a 10 to 1 underdog. Things won't be so easy for him outside of his backyard where he has to obey the rules. Horn has gone out of his way to disrespect and insult Crawford and now he must back up his big mouth if he can. The fight has hardly been promoted at all.

          Lol Arum gonna be around 30 more years, running ****. I don’t like him, but I respect the hell out of him. Too bad he wants to make every Black fighter Ray Leonard.

          Crawford is probably on the 2x a year schedule going forward.

              Yeah i find it really under promoted as well and its a shame because in crawford we have a fighter that has what its takes to become a real legend of the sport......i think Top rank has two of the top fighters in the world its the promotion company and arum that is piss poor

                Not 1 casual knows either of these guys.

                Broner and Canelo are the 2 casuals know.

                  The problem is the fight being on that app. Crawford shouldn't be fighting on that damn app. People are really underestimating the laziness of casual fans if they think they're going to put in the effort to download an app just to watch Crawford.
                  Yeah they put lomachenko on all the espn free shows on tv, but put crawford vs horn which is a huge fight big guys welterweights and a title fight on a freaking appp

                  How the hell can they make crawford a star by pushing him to an app and not promoting him on espn, at least when crawford was on hbo, hbo was praising him heavy and promoting on, espn doesnt know **** about boxing

                  Crawford vs horn is going to be a war someone is gettined messed up.

                  I heard the espn brass chooses what top rank fights get basic cable treatment and what gets the obscure lack of promotion app spot

                  Baffling they would put crawford vs horn on an app when they could have built this fight up with trash talk and a 247 countdown on espn with horn and his team playing the bad guys.

                      Basically this ^. Funny how Arum is now a poor promoter all of a sudden according to the experts on here.
