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

[Shadoww702]

I love Usyk!!! But he only got like 15 wins and been on the list for like 15 weeks??? I cant pass him over guys who been here for over 150++ weeks and much much longer. He had a GREAT year! Now lets see more.

[Zaryu]

Honestly they should just try to make the fight. Arum is vocal about his willingness to make it, Spence doesn't seem to be getting good fights, so let's stop beating around the bush and make the most significant fights that can be made in the welterweight division ASAP.

That'd be an excellent fight though I don't trust arum he's going to milk the hype for a couple of years hoping Spence builds more clout then make the fight in 2-3 more years. This fight though if fought in 2019 has the makings to be a great trilogy series Crawford and Spence are the best by far at 147 Thurman inactive and I don't see him beating Crawford or Spence and Porter no beuno

Man this is the best fight to make at 147, can't see Porter beating Spence or Crawford, and Thurman is pretty much retired, the obvious fight to make is Crawford and Spence, Crawford is 31 and should make the big fights now before it's too late. 2019 needs to be a big year for him.

So Showtime should be the one making the offer. Makes sense.

Showtime got the bigger platform, so the ball is sitting squarely on their lap now.
Arum is expressing his willingness to get the fight made,
so I don't see any roadblocks here.
Make the fight happen Espinoza/Haymon.
Let's go.

crawford - spence on espn
mikey - lomachenko on showtime
arum - haymon 1:1
fans 2:0
but arum wants everything to go his way so...

can you give a single example of Haymon letting one of his A-list fighters go fight a voluntary fight on a rival network? Just one?


cant put it all on Bob. EVERY promoter wants to control the promotion.

[AdonisCreed]

“All the other guys I discard,” Arum said following Crawford’s win at CHI Health Center. “They’re not in the same league [as Crawford]. Spence may be in the same league. I would love to make the Spence fight. You hear me now – I’m ready to make that fight next. I’m ready to make it on very fair terms, where no fighter or no network has an advantage, to do that fight. We’re prepared to sit down and get that fight done. But I can’t force the other people into doing it. You understand?”


Make the fight happen Bob!! Let's go! I'm a fan of both guys I wish they were in different divisions so they could both be undisputed champs. But it is what it is, so I'm ready for it. I got Spence winning this one. I don't think Crawford can handle Spence's power and Jose was tagging Crawford in that fight a few times and if that's Spence landing those shots it's a done deal.

[rickJen]

Arum is the only one talking.
The ones on the other side of the street are some kind of mysterious people.
They have no spokesperson, no rep, nothing.
No media can access them.
Let's give them one week to respond.
After one week, and there's still no response,
then you know what it means.

This is the best fight in the WW Division,, Hopefully someone from either side sends a contract, but let's be real this fight is a little early. At earliest will be late 2019 or early 2020.
I want to see Crawford vs Thurman & ESJr vs Porter,, the winners collide

[dalvecc]

I doubt Al Haymon will let Spence fight Crawford. That would be like putting in Tank Davis vs Loma! Loma would clearly destroy Tank just like Crawford would destroy Spence!

You really don't mean that do, because Spence will stop everybody in the welterweight division even the fighters know it,why you think they refuse to fight him
