Comments Thread For: Terence Crawford Sees No Obstacles in Facing PBC Fighters

[IMDAZED]

He faced them on HBO, but he's never fought on a PBC show, nor on Showtime! The question is will Arum let him go to Showtime, without losing a purse bid, etc.?

Not a chance.

[KillaMane26]

If he do it won't be till the last minute and no other ways around aka Manny vs Floyd....Or maybe Broner might let himself get cashed out....Again lol

Not a chance.

he would let Alex saucedo Fight on DAZN if he had lost that purse bid vs a Hooker and Gvozdyk is about to square up against Adonis on Showtime. Good try doe

It is what it is! Fighters know when they extend their contracts, they might be eliminating their chances to fight certain opponents. If TC wanted PBC guys, he wouldn't be with Arum. TC wanted Pacquiao, and it looks like that won't happen. It was worth the shot because Pacquiao would've made him more money than anyone @ PBC! Now he'll have to sit and wait, and see what Arum does for him!

I don’t think TC has a choice. His contract probably renewed after winning the world title from Horn. He’s not getting those fights any time soon.

He also chose not to participate in a purse bid to make Murata vs. Brant, and is choosing to make Murata vs. Quigley instead! You never know with Bob!

If TC has one of those contracts like Mikey had, then he must do what Floyd, Cotto, and Mikey have done before him! Grown men have to make grown man decisions!

Arum doesn't seed ground. The fights won't happen unless they are on ESPN or PPV. That's all that is needed to stop the fight from happening

Haymon is shady? Yeah, let me know when the FBI raids his offices. Only promoters blast Haymon and that’s because he looks out for the fighter.

give it some time. something will come out. there are plenty of rumors swirling around from him having slave contracts to swindling investors out of their money. haymon got kicked out of the concert business and got sued by beyonce. he also acts like a guy who's afraid that he'll be exposed always hiding in the shadows. he is shady and the light will eventually expose the ****roach!

Haymon is the one making more "in house fights" Look at almost any Showtime card and 90% of the fights are "in house" Crawford, Loma, Jose Ramirez, Gilberto Ramirez stay fighting guys that aren't with TR. Just look at their recent opponents.

Crawford has already fought two Haymon guys plus guys like Gamboa, Jean, Lundy, Indongo, etc, etc. Then you look at a guy like Danny Garcia or Porter and almost all they fight is PBC guys so you can see who the real obstacle is in making these fights.

Not that I blame Haymon though. He would rather his guys lose to an "in house" option than an outsider that he doesn't have any options on. In a lot of ways Haymon is exactly the same as what you blame Arum for

The difference is that all those fighters that any Arum fighter fights not promoted by him are lower tier guys that don't draw or having the backing of a network. Arum won't allow his top fighters fight off of ESPN. He's already demanding that Mikey would have to agree to his terms and only fight Loma on ESPN. Arum had to ask for fight options on Diaz, in case he beat Crawford. We already saw that Arum wasn't going to allow Loma to fight Linares on HBO when they were offering more money. Linares had to beg GB to make the fight after losing out on the Mikey fight,. However, Linares has never been a draw and got his biggest payday by taking the fight. Mikey, Garcia, Thurman, Porter, AB are bigger draws than any of the opponents that Arums fighters have faced and are backed by Showtime.Just like ESPN doesn't want TR marquee fighters fighting off ESPN, Showtime wouldn't want the same either.
