All last week we heard Haymon's name out of Bob's mouth about a much as we heard Crawford's. He kept telling us he's call Al next week. He spent his post fight interview talking more about Haymon and PBC than he did Crawford.
Yet there has been silence from Bob this week.
Five months ago Stephen Espinoza said Bob would do exactly what he did last week. Run his mouth but never call.
Here's the interview from five months ago. It starts at 37:08 and ends at 39:23

Espinoza: There are some promoters in particular who are very vocal about having tried to make big fights. I go back to my standard rule of thumb. The more people are talking about making fights in public the less they are calling to make fights...So when guys say it's easy to make deals across platforms but when that guy isn't making any calls to make that happen, that's PR spin. They're speaking to an audience of one, the fighter they're trying to keep happy or re-sign.....No ones been approached about Mikey fighting across platforms, or Spence fighting across platforms....The next time someone calls to make a cross platform deal will be the first time.

"So I really think that I would love to sit with [Spence's manager Al] Haymon and with [Showtime Sports head Stephen] Espinoza and really work this out so it isn't just idle conversation," Arum said.
