Originally posted by Butch.McRae View PostPeople need to be honest about these opponents. We just saw Indongo get blasted by Prograis like he was a prop up fight. Postol's best wins were Matthysse and Lundy. Diaz went life and death with a guy (Peterson) people claim is a marginal fighter (which I disagree with). And Horn shouldn't have been in the ring (we know Arum resorted to his old tricks to get that belt from Manny).
I like Bud and how he handles his business but there needs to be some scrutiny on these opponents. The quality is very similar to Danny Garcia's comp prior to Thurman and people called him a cherry picker (rod salka was unacceptable though) lol

Originally posted by Motorcity Cobra View PostBob puts him in Vegas because Crawford gets paid so much and the casino money subsidizes the card. What other fighters are doing 8k in Vegas?
And Omaha is not a major metro area like Dallas. Of course he's not gonna get 15k like Spence. I doubt they have a venue that holds 15k

Originally posted by chepboxingking View PostWhat he forgets to mention is if Crawford fights 3-4 a year, the budget will be pretty much consumed by him, so he's left to fight C class fighters who dont demand higher paydays. I rather see him fight twice a year against top opposition.
Arum does not depend on a 'budget' as he controls the budget. And he implies that any fight of Bud's will be profitable so he can run as many fights as Bud is prepared to fight.

Originally posted by Butch.McRae View PostOff the top of my head I recall Wilder v. Stiverne I doing 8k and Porter v. Broner doing 8k in attendance. But I honestly don't know for sure. Those still aren't good attendance figures imo.
In NY you got 10 mil people already there so it's easier to get 15-20k to attend a fight. The same for LA

Originally posted by chepboxingking View PostIs not that people are not being honest, we the public honestly do think postol, Indongo, gamboa are legit competition for Crawford, until they actually fight. Crawford is a very special fighter, doesn't mean the fighters he's fighting are not top notch, just means Crawford is much better. There's levels to this and Crawford is with the elites, where there's currently only a hand full of boxers.
It's lunacy imo. I'm saying if we're only praising "elite" wins for one guy then that standard should be the same for others.
