    I'm talking in a p4p sense. He's the most skilled fighter and is widely ranked higher than any other 147 guy in all p4p lists, most accomplished pro among them all, was undisputed in one division, lineal in another, fighter of the year in the past etc;

      I noticed when i watch the NFL they never show anything about the CFL. When watch NBA they never show anything about the Big 3 league. When i watch the UFC they focus on their fighters, not Bellator fighters.

      PBC is not ESPN. They are not a sports news show. They focus on their product as they should.

        Well PBC is pretending that Crawford doesn't exist and that needs to stop.

          Yes, that is exactly what Arum did. He invented the term marinate for fights that should happen right now.

            I see what you’re saying. But in the division, obviously that doesn’t matter. And in the division, he’s the least accomplished.

              It could be the two best welters are Spence and someone else. Bud’s opposition at 147 is trash.

                If he doesn't make Fury vs Wilder, I'll boycott ESPN. Won't be hard when today's fight is on their app and next week's is ppv.

                  Arum with the same old routine. Let me get this out there in the media so they can blame the other outfit when the fight doesn't happen. Wonder if he'll do a countdown clock on his website

                      Meh, doesn't mean they should exclude Crawford entirely. Granted, I saw after the fight that Mancini talked about him and even Porter addressed him after the fight. It does no good ignoring Crawford just because he's not on PBC. You could still put him on the graphic showing the best WWs.
