    Bob Arum More Interested in Winning the Media Battle

    So I think it is fair to say we saw peak Arum today. Will be interesting in seeing how many people buy his BS or not. So he said all week that he will call Haymon on Tuesday or Wednesday after the fight. Okay fair....Yet, after the fight, without EVER calling Haymon to discuss Spence/Crawford, he says Haymon is preventing the fight and is the one holding up the fight? Huh? How does that even make any sense? So you have NEVER called him to discuss this fight but he is the one preventing the fight? LIS, peak Arum right there....And I mean it's not like he's the one didn't stop the Wilder/Fury fight from happening.....Oh wait, he said it needs to be held off for another year so it can be a 2 million PPV buys type of fight.

      lol you really think Haymon would even consider making the fight? They have ZERO interest in Spence fighting Crawford when they have easier options for him like Thurman and Porter.

        Even Crawford knows Arum is full of b/s. I've seen how Crawford acts around Arum. It's obvious he doesn't really like or trust the guy. Not even saying he should go to PBC or Haymon, but I think he knows he would be in a better situation elsewhere.

          Well he is winning it, even though he is worse than Haymon in terms of blocking fights, the fact that he has been vocal about putting Crawford in there with the other champs has won me over, this has made me look more at Haymon than Arum.

            So you are asking will he consider the fight? That is different than what Arum said. So tell me how Haymon is preventing the fight when Arum has yet to even call him? Do you not see what he is doing here?

            Then tell me who prevented the Wilder/Fury rematch that was so close to happening?

              While crawfish is stuck in meaningless mismatches.

              Spence, thurman, pacquiao and porter will partake in big significant fights.


              LOL Chess not checkers. Fck Arum

                I'm no TR fan but it's ****** to call this a bluff when the guy goes this far out of his way to make a statement. Who do you think he's "bluffing"??? A bunch of nerds on NSB? If he didn't want the fight he could have just kept low about it. It would make no business sense to make a bluff like this. Arum essentially "went to the trunk" on Haymon and it serves no purpose other than to try to force the fight. Don't be a midslave to your promoter of choice.

                    Of course Haymon won't consider the fight. He wants to keep everything in house. If you can't see that then you are dumb as hell.
