This is why Bob Arum is frustrated with Al Haymon

[Bardamu]

Crawford isn't going to demand ****; if Khan wasn't so deathly fearful of the taint of getting smashed by a Brit in Britain, Crawford would've grumbled and then still have taken the Collazo fight, crying about folks "ducking" him.


Crawford doesn't have the gumption to sit and force anything, especially after taking all that guaranteed money.

Don't be fooled

Too late for that. He started a thread with the title "This is why Arum is frustrated with Al Haymon" and is about Arum and Haymon successfully negotiating a fight together. lol.

He can demand all he wants it doesnt mean he'll get it. You think thurman,spence,danny,porter are gonna see khan make 5M vs crawford and be cool with getting less than that??? Crawford will fight Egis Mean machine next or mike alvarado. Arum has his weak asss diet of top rank fighter ready to be served.

This is a real issue that posters are not really talking about.

Khan is getting paid $5 mil because he isn’t a real threat to win. He made far more than Canelo just so he can lose. Broner is ima main event on a PPV with Manny because he is a big name but not a threat to win.

One of the major problems with the sport is promoters will pay guys more to lose to big draws then they will for guys who will put on competitive fights that have a chance to win.

Maybe you feel differently but I am tired of guys getting title shots like khan, Broner, Gabe rosado, etc etc. I don’t think you can blame the better boxers in a division for wanting more or the same from a promoter.
