Why did Arum have a change of heart regarding Spence-Crawford?

[Motorcity Cobra]

He said the fight needed to build to at least 500k PPV buys. Now he wants to do a joint PPV for a fight that might get 250k if they're lucky. So Fox/Sho is splitting a PPV with ESPN that'll realistically get 150k buys.

Anybody else notice his mind changed after that press conference where Spence said Crawford needs to clean up his side of the street and he'll clean up his side and then meet. In other words build the fight up just like Bob said.

After that press conference suddenly Bob wants to make the fight next & Spence is ducking and Haymon is a cancer.

I was wondering this myself, dude did a complete 180. Soon as that Fox deal was signed he started talking reckless

[Hatesrats]

Arum is running out of opponents for Crawford on Top Rank that's the bottomline.
Pretty sure BobFather signed Crawford (Extention) with the notion that he always had Pacquaio to match Vs. "Bud" (Money fight) Then Pacman jumped ship & left Arum holding the bag.

Bob has always cared more about winning the PR battles than getting fights made. Looked how he blamed everyone else when he held up the May/Pac fight

I'm more concerned with what Errol has to say.

I wonder what Ja Rule thinks about all of this

This thread won’t get many comments lmao they all seem to disappear when these type of threads are made

[Mister Wolf]

He actually believes Crawford can outbox Spence. Same for Loma vs Garcia.

He saw the internet chatter blaming him and Crawford for the fight not happening so he decided to say something different. He will still prevent fights where his guys are not favored to win against other promoters fighters.
