    Nope. He's making good money. Arum is screwed with Crawford tho. Why would Arum pay Crawford all that money when he has no one to fight him?

      Because his goal was simply to prevent him from going to PBC because they'd have a massive tourney in the hottest division in boxing and he'd get none of the money,

      Think about it-DAZN and PBC already have HWT and MW, the other glamour divisions, sewed up. If he doesn't over pay Crawford and Fury, he has no fighter in any of the 3 biggest divisions in the sport.

        I get that. But he has nobody for them to fight.

          Bob will probably feed Crawford all the JMW that get all the shine on ESPN and the WBSS. He will beat all of them.

          He will recycle bums for Fury to fight.

                Jermall charlo wasnt fighting anyone anyway. Why wont this guy fight someone in the top 10? Hell, andrade is still talking about him, there's a video where he's asking hearn to get him charlo.

                  You’re smarter than this. Crawford and Loma are P4P top 2. These are commodity names that ESPN wants to own/have for the sake of ESPN’s boxing prestige. The investment is there and Top Rank is lucky to even have its position there. Top Rank branding continues on the biggest Sports Network..

                  Stop acting like Bud’s pay is a loss. The real loss is that Fury was reported to have made a bigger pay than Bud..

                    Bud can get some lucrative fights against Brook, Vargas, and possibly Mikey or Maidana when he returns. If he ventures to 154 he may be able to get a shot at Munguia who is also a WBO champ. PBC may also be willing to sacrifice some of their second tier opponents to Crawford...Broner, Ugas, Berto.

                    I think PBC and TR should push for a Danny vs. Bud fight. They each had a win against each other in the amateurs and they can play that angle of unfinished business. Danny wants a title shot but doesn't want to go through Spence to get one. If he can't get Thurman or Porter this year, Bud would be his best option.

                      Jermall Charlo is Interim WBC, probably getting a nice step aside checks to be patient. So he can afford to play this waiting game I guess

                      As for Andrade, given how his career has played out, that guy talks like he is ready to fight anybody and I like Andrade but when contracts was sent Andrade found a way out. This happened for a Erislandy Lara fight when both was fighting on Friday Night Fights and it happened for a fight with Jermell Charlo. Andrade did not take that fight because he thought he was getting a big deal with Roc Nation which never happened and he end up suing

                      WBC did Order Jermall Charlo vs GGG but GGG chose a different path which he does have the right to do so. Agree that he too needs to do something to land a big fight at 160
