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

[DaBeastO]

Why aren't so-called journalists writing articles criticizing Arum? Imagine if some powerful black guy said that about Arum or another white guy like him? There would be a media frenzy. The hypocrisy and favoritism are embedded deeply in the system.

I wouldn't work with someone who insulted me and smeared my reputation like that in public, either, period. Insult first, then expect to do business with that same racist person. I don't get Arum's ways.

PBC should ignore anything Top Rank from this point on.

and thats why you would never be a promoter or be successful in any business. you got your feelings hurt so what? if what arum is saying is false why should anyone be mad? that would be ****** on pbc to ignore doing business with Top rank. Top rank is the biggest promoter in america and the world pbc will run out if in house options.

This has been covered already when Spence told Crawford to his face he wasn't going to fight him. PBC has 2 years worth of opponents at 147 for Spence.

he does not have two years worth of opponents. he's fighting porter next and then the winner of thurman vs Pacquiao later this year. How is that two years worth? you must mean in pbc land where fighters are inactive and fight once a year LOL.

[DaBeastO]

They hate the fact that many of these guys "self-promote!" I think they hate that he's teaching guys to be "independent." I see that from people regarding free agency in the NBA or NFL! "How dare he ask for a trade!" "Where the loyalty TO THE OWNER and the fans?" One word comes to mind: UPPIDY!

no one is buying this bullshieet. are you dumb enough to believe that? Lol he's not teaching these guys to self promote or be independent at all. they still have promoters lol and about three different managers on top of that! seems like these pbc fighters end up with more handlers when they joined pbc. hey bronx2245 I'm going to pimp you out. you got other pimps? So what what's one more eh?

There's Danny, he could also fight the winner and loser of Pac-Thurman in addition to Porter next. There's 4 in house fights for the next 2 years.

spence looking like a straight HOE right now. hiding under gaymon's pusssie lips.

more accurate!

[CLUE]

Fight is happening next year with all the belts on the line. Only thing that will slow it down is getting the belt out of thurman/Pac hands, and into Crawford or Spence hand.

Floyd has his own! Broner has his own! Spence Jr. has his own! The Charlo Bros. have their own! Devin Haney has his own! Team Garcia have their own! Now they've added Manny too! Where else do you see that many fighters with their own promotions? How many great ones left Top Rank and Don King? How many got robbed? How many had to sue Arum or King? Manny was just threatening Arum after Matthysse! Why you think he's with Al now? It's bigger than Mayweather! Manny wants the blueprints! I don't blame him!

All I ever see from this guy is "it's not happening". Davis lomachenko, not happening, spence crawford, not happening.

How is it gonna happen with Arum always in his period? It's hopeless. They can't even make Spence-Crawford.

That's not all I talk about. You only see what you wanna see. It's clear these people are not going to work together.

I guess you haven't seen any of my posts about how much I wanted to see Davis-Lomachenko over the years.

[BoxingIsGreat]

Top rank is the biggest promoter in america and the world pbc will run out if in house options.

So, if I insulted you like Arum did Haymon in public in front of the whole world, you would still be nice to me and do business with me?

My only feeling was wanting Davis vs one his fighters. I was always optimistic of it happening for a few years now. Now it won't and I don't care.

[Chrismart]

People not wanting to take Arum at face value is one thing, sure, but people praising Ellerbe for these quotes

I get being a realist and understanding why fights don't happen. But being a boxing fan in 2019 really is about making excuses for guys who don't want to fight, or who turn fights away isn't it.

I mean, Ellerbe. Just listen to him : ''What fans want to see Spence Vs Crawford?''

Leonard Ellerbe shuts down any Terence Crawford vs Errol Spence Jr talk. He says "that fight's not happening. What fans want to see Crawford vs Spence?" Stay tuned for interview. @lellerbe @terencecrawford @errolspencejr pic.twitter.com/3pT6mOQvjE
