Comments Thread For: Terence Crawford Inks New Multi-Year Deal With Top Rank

[Eff Pandas]

Who has Bob Arum let fight elsewhere, at any level?

Manny vs Floyd. I already said that awhile back. Why is that even a question we all know Bob let Manny loose for that fight. And I recall some much lesser names fighting outside of TR's realm before, but I can't say I pay THAT much attention to that sh^t with any promoter.

The question I'm asking is WHO lets their big name money making guy loose????

No one does that cuz its f#cking ****** to let your branded, big name fighter go fight elsewhere & the math don't make sense unless it is a huge fight usually I'd imagine.

DiBella don't even got a fighter like that to begin with I don't think & certainly not one he'd let loose.

And I don't recall GYM letting Stevenson or Bute or whoever you're talking about loose so I'm legit curious who you are implying.

You do know that Tim Bradley was positioned to fight Amir Khan at 140lbs before making the move over to Top Rank, right?

Fight Khan and Lamont Peterson, and Bradley would've been the undisputed 140lb champion, with Danny Garcia, Lucas Matthysse, Mauricio Herrera, Ruslan and others in the cue waiting for him.

And, with the unified 140lb title to his name, he likely would've had a shot at a Floyd fight.

And?

None of those names compare to Pacquiao and Marquez.

Nor would I imagine he would have made as much money.

His only shot would have been Floyd, and I doubt that would have happened.

Smart move.

They care because of this whole black consciousness movement that's been going on online the last few years, or whatever it's called, combined with the promotion of anti-white racism in the mainstream media, combined with the lie that Donald Trump is a white supremacist and white supremacists elected him and blacks are being systematically discriminated against and hated by a large portion of the country. All these lies have created an "it's us against the world" mentality among many black Americans, and that's just carried over to boxing where these people support Floyd, Ward, Haymon, Spence, Wilder, etc, no matter what, because of their skin color. The same way they view Trump relative to America, that's how they view Arum, HBO,Hearn, Kathy Duva, etc, relative to boxing. Trump represents white supremacy in America to them, and every white promoter and boxer, or any TV channel that promotes white boxers, represents white supremacy in boxing to them.

Is it crazy? Yes. Is it really that surprising that it's come to this in boxing after how effectively they were brainwashed about race regarding the nation at large? No, it's not. One follows the other. They've been taught that the media and social structures at large in the country are run by white supremacists, so if you believe that, why wouldn't they also believe that the boxing media, and the power promoters in boxing like Arum, are also run by white supremacists? I mean, you can even find videos on youtube claiming that the reason HBO is not picking up Kovalev-Alvarez II is not because Kovalev is past his prime and HBO's boxing budget is dying, but rather because HBO was only in the Kovalev business in the first place because they wanted to push white supremacism by hyping a white fighter, but now that he lost to a black fighter, and they, the video posits, know that the black fighter will beat him again in the rematch, they have no interest in promoting the black fighter, Alvarez, and that's why they're not going to pay to air the rematch.

This isn't just one video, by the way. This **** is absolutely rampant within boxing social media. This is really the way many of these people think, so obviously, Floyd, Haymon, Showtime, etc are absolute heroes to these people because Haymon is the one who *****ed HBO over, Floyd is the one who left HBO, and Showtime in concert with Haymon and Floyd is HBO's direct competition. If HBO is white supremacist, and Showtime is HBO's rival, then Showtime must be anti-white supremacist, right? Showtime must be fighting the evil empire, right? That's how most members of this subculture among black boxing fans think.

I'm assuming you're black and you got your feelings hurt cause someone speaks the truth huh?
Punk!

Fans are more fans/haters of promoters than fighters these days.

Crawford is earning well, probably got a raise and Top Rank helped him reach his objectives of cleaning out two divisions so far and being in the pound for pound discussion.

Cuz they get exposed for blocking fights.

[BLACK KNOT]

Dumb ass. Gonna end up like bradley

wow your ******ity is really shining through. bradley got three big paydays against PAC. Another against marquez. bradley has had a hall fame being promoted by bob arum. you're a clueless moron as usual.

My feelings aint hurt, my brain hurts after trying to read that rambling post that had ZERO to do with boxing or reality

[sicko]

Great For Crawford! As long as Arum get him the big fights with the PBC Guys when the time is right I see no issues with Crawford staying with Arum as long as his manager negotiated the right deal for HIM!

[j.razor]

When he signed with Top Rank in 2011, this is the order of fights he had:

Joel Casamayor
Pacquiao
Provodnikov
Marquez
Pacquiao
Diego Chavez
Jessie Vargas (who was undefeated at the time)
Brandon Rios
Pacquiao


No ****, who wouldn't fight Pacquiao 3x in a row, plus Marquez?

No shet, Bob had a solid stable. Bob don't have a solid stable now & is depending on the network (espn) to promote his own agenda like hbo did.
