    Boxing Trade-Would You Make It

    Pretend you are Bob Arum or Al Haymon. You are presented with the following trade offer:

    Devin Haney and Gervonta Davis for Terrance Crawford

    The trade IMO makes things MUCH better for us as fans. Gives us potentially great fights on both sides.

    If I'm Haymon I have to make this trade. If I'm Bob, I don't think I would.

    What would you do?

    Haney is with Matchroom and DAZN.

    Best is for one fight, Crawford for Mikey.

          As I said If I'm Arum I wouldn't make that trade. My reasons though are much different than yours.

            Well, you may be right it's not finalized but either way he's not with Haymon.

            I know Haney has been posting on social media as if a DAZN deal is done.

              I wouldn’t make that trade at all Crawford is over 30. Haney and Davis are both young undefeated with a nice following. Both have the potential to be bigger than Crawford in terms of popularity and selling tickets.
              Haymon should just wait until TC leaves and sign him just like the other 15 fighters who left Bob.

                I think you hit the nail on the head of the main trade I'd make.

                Tank, Marcus Browne, Badou Jack & a fighter to be named later (PBC side) for Bud (TR side). Can make Tank vs Loma & Teofimo on the TR side, Browne & Jack make some decent to good 175 fights over there + some misc. fights with the guy that gets decided upon later or you just grab prospect you can grow like Efe maybe & you can make a bunch of fun high level fights with Bud on the PBC side.

                Maybe trade Mall (PBC side) for Whyte (Matchroom side). Mall is the missing guy for Matchroom at 160 & Whyte makes PBC's HW roster a lil sexier & you can make fights with Wilder, Breazeale & Ortiz for sure that should hold some solid appeal.

                    Ok. I would do if I was Haymon because you can make the most wanted fight in the sport other than WIlder/AJ and you can continue to make big fights at WW for the next 2-4 years.

                    If I'm Arum I am worried that Haney and Tank maybe don't become as big as Crawford.
