Comments Thread For: Reality check: Crawford-Spence not happening soon, says Ellerbe

[Madison Boxing]

I swear its like a cult culture going on with these guys on here. They are celebrating this like its a moral victory for boxing.

Yeah ive noticed a trend of 'fans' seemingly bragging when their guy turns down a fight or it cant be made for some reason.

Good. Dana White said Bob is the reason the May/Pac fight took so long to make. He said Al is easy to work with. Shut Arum out until he learns some respect and act like an adult. Nobody got time for his foolishness. He got EVERYBODY sued after the May/Pac fight. You think the execs at Fox want to deal with him? Act like a professional and the fight can be made. Fox execs don't want to hear their names being dragged thru the mud by Arum during the lead up to the fight like he did with Showtime execs during the lead up to the May/Pac fights. These companies invest tens of millions into marketing research. They know how to market a fight and it doesn't involve promoters bashing executives.

And playing the race card this weekend didn't make it any better. Bob must be brought to heel.

I think its clear that Team PBC would only move if they have to, they have Spence/Porter next and i have no issues with it, but no one can deny that PBC are not willing to work with others, especially when they have options on there side of the street.

I use to be a big fan of PBC because of the fights that i get through Boxnation, but their blockage of fights is just irritating. The way i see it is this, once Spence is done collecting all the three belts at 147, then he should fight Bud for the undisputed championship.

It's funny you mentioned Spence should collect the wbc and wba belts before fighting Bud. If folks look back , this is the exact same thing Arum was saying when folks started talking about this fight . Now he's talking about making this fight now. The only reason he's talking about doing this fight now is because he has no seriously credible opponents for Bud at TR. This fight ain't happening until Spence clears out his PBC stalemates. TR won't seriously try to make any fights against the PBC elite WW's. But he will continue to feed the public B.S. like he's really trying to make these fights and like fools people will believe his lying a $$.

point blank cold hard fact

-bob would never in a trillion years consider fighting Crawford if he had spence, danny, porter, Thurman and pac.....NEVER

suck it bob...enjoy overpaying Crawford for fights nobody cares about

the same people complaining about this are the same ones that were ok with bob taking fury out of a wilder rematch....and whine that charlo should jump to DAZN to get good MW fights....knowing full well that Crawford resigned with TR fully knowing the situation at hand

LOL...shame on u fgts whining about this

yeah its a culture...

did you complain to all the guys cheering on arum and fury when they pulled away from a wilder rematch?

did you say the same thing to guys telling charlo hes ****** to not go to DAZN to get good fights? if you did please show me where you did

this is no different...Crawford resigned with TR recently being full aware of the situation at hand....and yall wanna cry now lol...crying about the "culture" that you all championed with other guys

Crawford will get his....but hell prob be 35 and spence will prob have a few more successful ppvs under his belt and 3 belts....then Crawford will be a lil B side

I definitely have ZERO problems with Spence clearing out the PBC belts collection at 147. I would have issues with him fighting mediocre competition when he could have fought for the WBO belt that Crawford has doe.

He better be fighting Porter next after talking that easy route bull****.

[DougalDylan]

Swap Fury for Spence for a fight ? throw in some Lomachenko.

PbC are clearly blocking this fight, would Bob do the same in Al's shoes ........... yep .. don't make it a good out come though.

[pugil1st]

But the Spencetards and pbc groupies keep blaming Arum! I do believe Arum deserves some blame but so does the other side. They want no part of Crawford so now they're looking for excuses to justify not making the fight!

Spencetards?? You guys could get little more creative. You don't have to put 'tard' behind everything. LOL

[Drew Bundini Br]

CRAWFORD should sign with PBC to get real fights. ARUM has NO fighters at 147 for him to fight. He will end up fighting C level fighters like PAC did when he was with top stank. RIOS,VARGAS,ALGIERI,HORN!! CRAWFORD should smarten up!!
