    Fury vs Wilder II on ESPN PPV. Spence vs Crawford on Showtime PPV. Fair?

    You think Arum would go for that?

      More than fair to you or I but Arum wouldn't let it happen and I don't think Haymon wants his studs fighting off the PBC networks either.

      It's a buisness unfortunately before a sport.
      If the boxers would speak up and tell the promoters, who work for them, to make fights regardless of what networks they air on, we would get all the fights we want.

      Unfortunately most guys just toe the company line and we get screwed out of great fights.

        Its fair, but no Arum wouldn't go for that. Or vice versa with the other fight.

        Arum only has let a big name fight off of his platform of choice once in recent history that was when it was the highest grossing fight in boxing history.

        And few promoters allow this either very often so I'm not even busting Arum's balls THAT much but clearly Bob is the guy who holds the reins tighter than others when it comes to sh^t like this.

          Why couldnt both be joint PPV's like Lewis vs Tyson or May vs Pac. There is no need to trade fighters. Arum has already said Crawford vs Spence could be a joint venture.

              Absolutely fair. Arum has talked about doing trade offs, and this would be great. BUT, it won't happen. So don't hold your breath.

                He is all about tradin until it comes to Loma or crawford. No way in hell would he do that even though its the smart thing to do for the sport

                  Not only that, he will get Wilder/Fury on ESPN PPV and at worst will ask for a Co-PPV between ESPN/SHO for Crawford/Spence lol.

                    Crawford is more valuable to ol Bob in the US IMO. What they SHOULD to is co-PPVs for both (and SHO All Access for both) but no, this is boxing so screw that idea
