    Honnestly, Bud is being well paid for fighting the Hornets, Idongos and lil Benav of the world.

    Arum is doing easy money, that fcker is a business beast.

    Top Rank and Bud are making huge money even without proper promo, Bud is the better US fighter, if Bud wants the big spotlight he better sign Spence or Porter soon.

    But he seems to be glad fighting the bottom of the 147 top 10 instead of the top...
    can't have it both ways...

In my topic I have proof they've been unhappy with the way they have been promoted compared to Lomachenko and nothing has changed since.
      They take no risks. How exactly does someone promote that?

        Kavaliauskas, Adames, and Bes***** in 2019. By that time, Spence-Porter should have happened and Crawford-Spence will need to be made.

        Its definitely a shame. WW is NOT heating up atm - its actually cooling down.

        Garcia has been ousted as a "top guy"

        Porter is a fringe level "top guy"

        Thurman will need many, many fights to get back to his "I'm a hair better than Porter" status

        WW is still just the TC/Errol race and theres a chance that fight wont happen as Errol will have to move up soon and hes already introduced the "other side of the street" promotional duck excuse.

        Kinda feel bad for TC as he might've joined a third division which may be irrelevant by the time he beats another in-house TR fighter or two.

        Oh and if Bud wants more attention - it's not hard - look at Floyd, Sergio Martinez, Cotto, Manny, AJ, Canelo, etc. Those guys all play a part because boxing is a SPORT and sports are ENTERTAINMENT...so you need to ENTERTAIN to stand out from your peers

          Think you're reaching. Crawford has been paid more than Loma and top rank took a risk of putting him on ppv already.

          If Crawford feels marginalized it's his own issue. Or rather top rank issue. They haven't build up anyone in a while. To say that Loma got more exposure is silly. I

            I don't see the connection between Crawford and the Charlo brothers.
            Crawford has been headlining fights ever since I can remember,
            while the Charlos are still undercard fighters.
            Crawford had also been getting an average of $1.5 mil per fight regardless of who he fights, while the Charlos are still $300-500K fighters.

              How am I reaching when I'm just posting what he posted and explaining why he might feel that way

                  There is no connection. The Charlo's have never shown they were unhappy while Crawford has.

                    Because hell yeah, Adames and Kavialiauskas deserve 24/7 type of promo if you ask me.
