Comments Thread For: Arum: Crawford is Bad Fight For Pacquiao, I'd Say 'Don't Do It'

[Fire4231]

Why is Bob making all the right decisions for Loma and all the terrible decisions for Crawford?

PAC is already at 147 it makes sense for him to fight there. Is PAC draining all the way down to 135? Or is Loma swelling up to 140 as he looked human against the less talented Linares?

He keeps playing this game and PAC may just pull off the upset on his clearly preferred superstar Lomachenko.

Bobs problem still is he won’t take the money as it’cometh. He desperately wants to control where the money is coming from. Still trying to rewrite a black fighters don’t sell history. Good luck who has sold more throughout history?

He is doing to Crawford what he did to Mayweather. Trying to force Cotto and Margarito to be his next superstars when Oscar was the standard and Mayweather was the break out talent.

Old dogs never seem to learn. Matter fact let’s see both fights. Both pay days (Loma vs PAC and Loma vs Crawford) would offer huge retirements for the torch bearer. Who else does Top Rank have anyway? Old guy needs to get a strong succession plan already.��

Pacquiao will need Mexican meat to compete with Crawford! Maybe same day weigh-in just one hour before call time. Better yet Pac retire for good never to unretire again!

Exactly Arum is full of **** he clearly can’t promote Black fighters well in this era

Very well said man. I guess looking at both fighters, Crawford is the most likely to leave to another promoter so maybe that’s why Arum is being shifty. Or, as you said, maybe the mfer is just racist.

Agree with Bob

[aboutfkntime]

Top Rank CEO Bob Arum would not advise Manny Pacquiao to fight newly crowned World Boxing Organization welterweight champion Terence Crawford (33-0, 24 KOs). This past Saturday night at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Crawford battered and stopped Jeff Horn to capture the WBO title. The win made Crawford a three division world champion.

totally agree with every word Arum said

had to happen one day

[aboutfkntime]

Translation: My priorities have switched now I want Manny to pass the torch and get beat down by Loma instead of Bud because Loma is our Top priority and think he has a better chance of cross over appeal

ha that could be the angle

[aboutfkntime]

Bad for Pacquiao, but good for Crawford, and as Crawford is the younger man and a rising star that probably means it's good for Bob. Could be reverse psychology at work.

I did sense a little bit of carrot-dangling in there

or, leaving the door open

[aboutfkntime]

ha whats bob up to?

[CLUBBER!]

Crawford vs Thurman plz.
