Haymon killing another unification fight?

[ELHITMAN606]

Idk why some of you guys keep acting like Bob Arum is GREAT at making fights with other promoters & with other platforms to suggest this would be Haymon's, Spence's manager/advisor, fault somehow. Any idiot here should know cross promotion events between guys who are or among the biggest names & faces of a promoter or platform RARELY fight between whatever promoter & whatever promoter & when they do happened they've been trying & hard to make cuz those guys have been huge investments for the promoter & its a nice risk for that promoter. You surely know this or you are ******ed.

So C- troll thread or you are ******ed. You choose bruh.

Many people don't have common sense

Nah brah. Haymon werks wif erone

[N/A]

Arum let Lomachenko fight on Showtime vs. Russell and he's letting Gvozdyk fight Stevenson on Showtime

Those are mandatory fights. Arum lost the purse bid in both instances. He didn't "let" them fight on Showtime, he had no choice.

Your uneducated, inexperienced, amateur analysis doesn't make any sense.

Wilder was willing to fight AJ on DAZN on 9/22. Hearn refused to allow it.

Haymon has the WBC champion, the IBF champion, the WBA champion and most of the top contenders at welterweight.

Arum has the WBO champion and that's about it.

Crawford is the one that chose to stay on the side of the street that has no interesting opponents, instead of crossing the street, where all of the interesting opponents are.

So while Spence, Porter, Thurman, Garcia, Ugas, Berto, Alexander, Broner, etc all fight each other for years to come, and Crawford fights nobody, you can't blame the Haymon side for Crawford not having opponents. He's the one that chose to sign again with the side of the street that had nobody for him to fight.

Are Berto and Alexander really more interesting than Ramirez, Prograis or the winner of the 140 WBSS? I think Top Rank would have an easy time making Crawford-Ramirez, Crawford-Prograis, Crawford-Taylor (if he can win the WBSS). Sure, they are at 140 but they will be at 147 soon enough.

Are Ugas and Broner more interesting? Ugas has less of a name then those guys and Broner wouldn't be an interesting match really. He gets dominated by anyone elite.

Read the full post. I acknowledged that. He also could have just said "ok we'll go fight someone else then".

It made no sense for Crawford to sign and extension with Arum. I do not know what Arum says to these fighters, but they can never get out of his contracts.

He's getting a minimum guarantee of $3m per fight and can fight as often as he likes. He'll be fighting three times a year barring injuries.

That's a great guarantee and like I said earlier it's not like the winner of the WBSS (probably Prograis or Taylor) won't be a star and great opponent or Ramirez if he keeps winning. Those will be easy to make.

[Rip Chudd]

Arum himself said he isn't going to make the fight until it can do a minimum of 500K buys. So how is Haymon blocking it when Arum himself said he will not make it?

[Hatesrats]

BobFather ain't in no hurry to put Crawford in the ring Vs. Any of these PBC guys either...

& will you buy a Vs. Spence PPV??? be honest...
(They seem to think he will sell)

Dumb ass arum said it’s not big enough lol. He’s not gonna our Crawford in a tough fight like that
