Comments Thread For: Arum: Like Hagler, Crawford Can Be Himself, Make Major Money

[New England]

hagler had three all time great dance partners, leonard, hearns, and duran. literally three of the best fighters to ever lace up a set of boxing gloves.

Crawford is 30 and his resume is ****. His best wins are Postol and Horn or something. If Arum was serious with promoting him, he would have matched him against Pacquiao.

Pacquiao has never wanted to fight Crawford. Arum can't force them to fight if Manny doesn't want it.

Manny will do it for $20M for sure!

arum should let crawford fight pac.

He’s a promoter. To hardcore Boxing fans can comparisons get tedious but to casuals and the man on the street it’s what gets people talking and paying attention. That’s the market you’ve got to reach to make mega money.

It’s not worth getting heated over. Crawford is a special fighter and he’s making his own legacy but I understand what Arums doing.

I dont understand when people start saying things like "Golden boy has no idea how to promote" or "Arum is senile and is losing his mind and does not know how to promote anymore". Look at what they have built and then you look at what those people have achieved. Crawford I think it all depends who he fights and we shall see. he needs someone with a name like Pac for people to notice, even if he fights garcia or thurman casual fans wont be too crazy about him

Oscar didn’t build anybody.

Oh I m sorry, I didnt know he built Golden boy Promotions. If you think Richard did it its ok, but you need to understand with golden boy richard would not be anywhere near boxing and Oscar is the one the assembled the team. By the way, who own golden boy promotions?. His net worth is around 200 to 300 millions, how much are you worth, if you know so much boxing,why dont you start a promotion company, like thompson?

And his company did build Canelo, many say number 1 ppv revenue fighter at the moment.

The only way a black fighter can become a household name in 2018 and beyond is to act ******ish. There is no other way. Floyd isn’t popular because he was good. Compare his career pre-de la **** fight and after.

He was number one before Oscar took over
