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

[IMDAZED]

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!

at this bulls**t

[filup79]

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

Those guys aren't big names. If they were marquee TR fighters that ESPN had invested in, there is no way ESPN would want them to fight on another network.

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!

I think that happens. Or maybe he's happy getting paid and participating in the in-house round robin. But it doesn't look like he's getting Pacquiao. So what's left, really? That Benevidez fight is horrific.

He's faced plenty of non Top Rank opponents. Indongo, Diaz, Molina, Postol, Jean were not with Top Rank. Of course this conflicts with your "Arum only makes in house fights doe" narrative.

these so called boxing fans who continuously blame Arum for fights not getting made are getting more ridiculous by the day! Is tough enough trying to get PBC fighters to fight each other but I guess that's Arum fault as well! If fans want these big fights to be showed on free tv, tell the fighters to lower their money demands! A lot of people try to make it seem as if Arum is the only promoter who wants to make a profit when in fact, Oscar, Haymon, Hearn, Warren, Duva, Rubella, etc., are all in the business for the money!

I had hoped ESPN would operate differently from HBO and be the force that broke down promoter barriers to fights.

That hasn't been the case so far. We get TR fights against GBP guys when Bob thinks his guy can win. Otherwise ESPN seems to copy the TR/HBO formula for building fighters.

it has worked! we have seen more Top rank guys fighting guys from other promotions on espn than any time on HBO! in the last eight months we've had loma vs rigo loma vs linares Pacquiao vs mathysse! gvozdyk vs chickenson will also end up on espn. Arum has great fighters in his stable who would be favored to beat pretty much anybody. loma and crawford aren't considered the number 1 and 2 pound for pound fighters in the world for no nothing!

Yes, all fights where the TR guy had a considerable advantage, this is what I just posted. Where are the fight that are 50/50 like Mikey/Loma?

hor can u say in house round robin when most of his opponents gave other promoters? Doesn’t fit your narrative doe does it?

Why would he want to leave when he makes more than garcia, Porter, thurman, etc make per fight and his manager/trainer has a sweet commentary deal?

[killakali]

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!

That’s a better fight. We already saw Brant get smoked by an old man

And Postol was a "real threat" until after the fight XD XD XD

TC will get whoever he wants

There isnt much at WW...its a very weak division.

Danny and Shawn are borderline gatekeepers and Errol is unproven.

Theres nobody else. Thurman is retired and Pac doesnt want the fight.

Oh and both Errol and TC said they want their fight to marinate...lots of bumfights in coming XD

Sad but true :/
