    Crawford should have never resigned with Arum and just moved to Haymond. He was probably hoping for a Pac fight and the Arum pay was high enough that he didnt want to deal with Arum lawsuits ect.

    Arum plays dirty if you leave him before he wants you to. Look at Mikey Garcia frozen out for 2 years. Pac didnt leave until he was well past shot and his earning potential a fraction of what it used to be.

      this fight should be happening and this is another one of these things that is totally wrong with boxing, big fights not happening when they should, someone is to blame, there always is, this along with hopeless hometown judging, peds and out of control sanctioning bodies and promoters, it could be a lot better

        fyi chris...I never said Crawford/spence wouldn't happen

        it will....if spence beats the guys hes gonna fight at the pbc

        but Crawford might be 35 by that time....is all im saying....and spence might have 3 belts and a few successful ppvs under his belt.....and they will make Crawford a b-side....

        im sure that fight will happen....but until spence wants to make it I feel it will be tough sledding for Crawford....not career wise....but for arum...hell be paying Crawford good money for fights people don't really care about and if he wants a good opponent he will have to overpay

          Sorry cant do ring ones.

          Just google Al Haymon ring magazine. They are pretty long but very good.

          Keith Thurman said Al gave him another 1.2 million above his $1.5 mill purse.

          You think Bob would do that???? LMFAO I wont even do a ***ish joke.

          "Al puts his fighters first" - Paulie M

          Again 10-15% is CRAZY low for his services. Ive seen a lot of boxers end up OWING their promotor after fights and make jack sht.

            I don't even remember what thread it was in.

            I just wanted to see it because in all your posts you support the black fighters, yet you said you were a white guy. But you looked mixed in that picture to me lol.

              My sources in the industry told me Arum just provides Fat Dan a grub hub account with a TR credit card linked that Fat Dan can use to order whenever he wants. Cheapest positive media publicity Arum ever had to buy.

                Yep...sad...part of me doesn't begrudge these guys for making similar money in less risky fights. Boxing is a dangerous game and when you lose/get old, you can go from a big star to irrelevant over night. So if they want to pile up the money in a safer way, I get it.

                But it does suck that we never get to see the best fight the best when we really want to see it. I am hopeful a streaming service like DAZN will end up giving us those fights though - they can act as the de facto promoter, and will make sure these guys fight each other since DAZN owes them a lot of money up front/per fight.

                But yeah it sucks doesn't it.

                  I want see Spence vs. Crawford but Bob talking all that sht does NOT help. How you gonna spit on man and call him names??? Then blame him??? That's fkn RTARDED!!!

                  That tells me Arum doesnt want the fight. Lying Bob at it again.

                  Spence/Porter
                  D. Garcia
                  Thurman

                  Or

                  Jermell Charlo
                  Harrison
                  Lara

                  Or my personal favorite!

                  Spence vs.Hurd!!!

                    Jessie Vargas would be a credible win for Crawford so would Regis Prograis.

                      I support any type of fighter...I was a big pavlik fan back in the day....I have no real beef with loma...never had a real beef with kovalev....cept a lil bout his whining after losing to ward and with their fans that constantly make excuses...no beef with usyk

                      I have legit beef with golovkin though

                      im Portuguese and german...im dark because I tan very easily/heavily.....back in my day when I used to basically live at the beach I was legit confused for a black man lol....even in the winter months I tend to look dark even as it fades...kinda olive colored
