Haymon killing another unification fight?

Your lying a*s wants Bud to fight 140 pounders....LMMFAO! Give it up dude like you gave up my challenge you #Twinky!You don't think he has any chance of getting a fight with stablemate Ramirez, who's unbeaten and a good champion? You don't think he has a chance to get the winner of the WBSS who'll be unbeaten, unified with three belts and most likely knocking on the p4p door? If it's Prograis (as odds-makers think so) it will be easy to make as Prograis is affiliated with TR and has a bit of a rivalry with Crawford. If Prograis wins the tournament he's probably a better option than anything not named Spence or Thurman (if he decides he wants to fight again).
It's possible Spence doesn't get any major fights in 2019 also and his list of opposition is the worst bar none of any pound for pound entrant and he's never cleaned our or unified even one division. I think if he let's Thurman/Porter/Garcia keep fighting each other and isn't willing to look into fighting on a Top Rank show being that he's a "free agent" surely some blame and lack of ambition would be pointed at him, no?
Crawford's probably happy with $3m per fight and 3 fights per year vs. I'm sure less in purses and less volume of fights and like I said the potential for opponents isn't that limited outside of the PBC league.Comment

Bud would get bad publicity like Floyd got the second he left bob.Yup!
Be honest-Would you turn down the huge contract offer in the situation Crawford was in-1 year to go on his contract but TR overpaying him to keep him away from PBC and the money the got from SHO and Fox?
How do you think Bob would promote him had he refused to resign?Comment

Do you listen to yourself? You sound like a joke, not a funny one either.WBC champion at 140. A very good fighter who's improving at a rapid pace. Had an excellent win over Imam to win the title and is facing Orozco in a good fight Friday. If he keeps winning and improving (which he will) then sometime in 2019 that's a very attractive match. Ramirez is also huge for a 140-pounder.Comment

That's not how boxing works. Without belts, you have nothing, unless you're already a huge draw. If Arum had a more direct route to a belt for those guys, so be it, but he didn't. So he was forced to go the purse bid route. He had no choice.Comment

What good is a pen if there's no contract to sign? Hearn refused to offer the 9/22 date, or any date in 2018. Wilder could have had a thousand pens, unless he threatened to stab Hearn with them unless he sent a contract for a 2018 fight, what good would pens do?Comment

This is Bob, Haymon and every other promoters playbook. They will not let their "A Side" fighters fight on another promoter's card unless super money is involved.
It is just the way it is. If you are going to point your fingers at one of them, you need to point your fingers at ALL OF THEM!Last edited by deanrw; 09-12-2018, 01:57 PM.Comment

That's what it sounded like to me. A company employee at a company event saying exactly what his boss told him to say. He might as well be a damned glove puppet with Haymon's hand up his arse.You are talking about Haymon stopping the fight doe. Like Haymon has his hand up a drunk Spence's ass moving his lips as he sees fit.
And most importantly like I said WE ALL KNOW these types of fights are hard as f#ck to make cuz none of these mfers bend like we as fans think they should so acting like any one thing or one person is stopping a Bud vs Spence fight is a ******ed stance to have & YOU KNOW THAT.Comment

Sounded like a dude kinda drunk or high talking sh^t to me. Kinda what Bud does or Thurman does or whoever does.
But you have chosen to be one of these dudes with some weirdo &/or troll-ish agenda it seems so fair play & agree to disagree on your "objective take".Comment
