Comments Thread For: Bob Arum: I Would Love To Make Crawford-Spence Fight Next

[johnnyblazz]

The problem with Crawford is that we haven’t seen how good he really is. It’s easy for him to look good against C-level opponents, but can he retain that level of boxing skills against guys like Porter, Thurman, Spence, Mikey Garcia?

No one can answer that question cause we never seen him step up to the challenge. The only time he has come close to doing that were against Gamboa (who hurt him btw) and Postol, and where are they now in their career?

If Spence comes out after this and starts sprouting Network excuses then he a straight hoe.

There are no more excuses now I know Arum is a liar but I aint ever seen him call out someone like this and Crawford is clearly applying the pressure and wants the fight now.

Spence must now apply the pressure on the other side.

Pressure? lol You mean when he refused to say his name after the fight? Stop the fanboy stuff. His exact words were "I want them all." I never heard him say anything about Spence last night. Which is funny considering how much nonsense his coach keeps talking.

Yesterday Bob was lying, today he's telling the truth.

I mean didn't he just say this needs to be a PPV worth x PPV buys a month or two ago? Is it worth that now?

I still contend this isn't gonna be a fight that gets made til a "PBC champion" gets figured out between Spence vs Thurman vs Porter. When two of those guys got an L by their name or another L in Porter's case I think thats when the fight can be made. I wouldn't be mad in the meantime if Porter went over to TR or some Bud vs Porter PPV fight got made cuz I do kinda see Porter as the guy with more to prove & of less value between himself & Spence + Thurman.

It's not fanboy stuff. I'm a Spence fan dummy. Spence, Wilder, and Charlo bros are my guys.

But just like I did with Andrade, I will easily abandon a fighter who turns out to be a fraud.

I used to love Andrade and thought he was gonna be my favorite fighter after Mayweather retired, but as soon as I started to investigate his past and started to pay attention to the details, I realised what a complete fraud and a duck he was and left him (no ****).

I don't say stuff or make decisions based on emotion. No matter how much I like a fighter if he acting su****ious I will call bulshieet.

Spence should not be making excuses for certain fighters. He must not pull the GGG "everyone is ducking me" and then come out and make excuses when someone calls him out.

Irrespective of network issues he must apply pressure and call out Bud, leave the excuse making to the promoters and the networks.

Lets be real here, when has ANY fighter chosen to fight on espn over Sho/Hbo? Arum & his stable of WBO trinket holders need to stop bullshting the fans by signing an exclusive espn deal then turning around & claiming"we want xyz champion next but they don't want to have it on our broke ass platform".

I hope the Crawford fight gets made, but think uncle Bob is blowing a bit of smoke here because his stable lacks big fights for Crawford.

I doubt if Porter will fight Spence before he gets a chance to fight Thurman (who?). Maybe Arum can get Danny Garcia? He and Crawford split in amateurs, so it may be a better fight than most think. Could also lure Khan into a fight, he is probably looking for a way out of fighting Brook anyway.

[Hatesrats]

IF you don't remember "Rasta Crawford" I dont care about your opinion.

[Rigpig]

Arum only wants to make in house fights. Bes***** is a beast he looks like he’d give anyone a tough fight. But really Top tank has no big names for Bud to fight and I don’t see Arum making fights with the top guys unless Crawford puts his foot down and demands it.

[brettWall]

So who is supposed to make the offer, Crawford's side or Spence's?

BTW, which is the bigger platform, Showtime or ESPN?

[Shadoww702]

Bob is right! You need at least 500K buys on this fight. Both make $3.5 MILLION fighting nobodies. What do you think they will ask for to fight each other??? $5,000,000+++

And I cant STAND Top Skank
