    I no longer see anything so compelling about that fight, since I don't care about belts. It's a good fight, not great, or something that must happen. I wasn't THAT impressed with either of their fights.

    Maybe I expected too much from them.


    I rather see Loma vs Tank in my opinion. I think Spence and Crawford both need get a significant win at 147 before they fight. The fight is just getting cooked up what do you mean it’s not compelling anymore? Crawford hasn’t even been at 147 a year yet.

        It does not matter if he called or not. The fight between Crawford and Spence isn't happening.

        I'm curious to see what Bob says about Hearn’s offer to Ramirez to fight Hooker on DAZN. He has backed himself into a corner if he doesn't let his guys fight on DAZN, considering DAZN has let its fighter's fight on ESPN.

          How about Garcia vs Garcia?

            Not compelling enough to suffer all the BS between those two companies (PBC and TR). I dig the Davis fight more. I'd pay PPV for that!

                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

                (linked at the start point)

                My guest on this podcast is the President of Showtime Sports and Event Programming - Stephen Espinoza. I talked to him about the great 2018 Showtime had; what's coming up in 2019; life after Les Moon





                So are we going to forget that Crawf told Spence to his face "lets fights", or the fact that Spence wont even utter Crawfs name? I get it with Bob, he's an old, senile, grumpy old man. But he is STILL one of the best promoters in the game, even at his age. I'm curious to know if Bob made the call. Even more curious why PBC cronies have come out and stated that Spence/Crawf wont happen any time soon.....

                So you have one side mouth talking promoter(bob) screaming "they want the fight", and the other promotional company flat out saying "not any time soon"

                Seems like theyre BOTH full of SH.IT

                  Hell no, he never called him and you can bet the farm on that.

                    Arum knows how emotional and gullible the boxing fans are. Eddie Hearn knows this as well, he has the Brits eating out of his hands like a Puppy.

                    You really want to make a fight you do it quietly...see how Hearn is currently in Negotiations for AJ new Opponent how things are being done Quietly? See how Fury signing with Top Rank ESPN was done Quietly and came out of nowhere?

                      I agree. Until it's put on paper, the rest is empty talk.
