Comments Thread For: Spence: Arum Is Doing Crawford Dirty; Promotes Lomachenko More

[Boksfan]

You know what's even crazier? Hes right.

Boksfan knows the deal, but you are too busy bobbing up and down on Haymons crusty ***** to realize his whole gimmick is DUCKING Terrence Crawford (for Errald) and Vasylo (for cabbage patch kitty)

Hell if I remember correct Errald is expected to call out Lomachenko at 147 this week. Cant wait!!!



Yep.

I won't be surprised if Spence calls out Loma, he beat up one lightweight already, didn't he?

[Butch.McRae]

When people of a certain skin colour accuse those of the darker skin persuasion of racism and call them “racists” for no reason what they are really calling them is the “n word”.

Exactly lol We know what's up. They're defensive when the dumb s**t is highlighted.

How does such a statement make a person racist?

Ishe Smith said the same thing YEARS ago. People in boxing know what's going on behind the scene.

Lomachenko is better fighter and Arum also has/had better inhouse fights for him.

Lomachenko has bigger potential than Crawford.

Better fighter? That’s a joke. I’ve never seen Crawford on his ass.

Madison Boxing insinuated Spence to be racist. I say Spence instigates racism, which to some boxing fans it isn’t far fetched that Spence is race baiting. Spence’s baby momma is Mexican, so I doubt Spence is 100% pro-non interracial of course.

What would be theory or insinuation that Arum or ESPN praise Loma more over Crawford? Is Spence lying? Crawford and Loma combined in P4P has the world looking at Top Rank as the defacto signer for the best fighters considering most P4P rankings. Plus Crawford has his guarantees. Spence has to realize that PBC has the certain divisions locked by design the same way Top Rank operates the WBO by design. Can’t blame the fighters but the promoters as Spence has said. Crawford has more accolades over Spence anyways.

Lomachenko has better resume. Walters, Sosa, Pedraza, Linares , Rigo, Crolla...is better than Crawford`s wins.

Khan crawford had a lot of promotions, the fight just had nothing interesting about it, I watched just about all of the interviews and 24-esque segments and was just thinking how boring these talks etc were. The statement is just untrue. Lomachenko has carried the hype of a two time gold medalist since his debut, he's been in bradley undercards, marquez undercards, pacquiao undercards, was on the pacquiao v mayweather undercard and he has fought a lot more names. Crawford hasnt ducked anyone, there's just not been anyone, if he had gotten mikey at 140 things might have been difference.

It doesn’t. Anyone dating otherwise is just spewing slanted propaganda. Nothing to see here....pretty much of a muchness. Spence has every right to voice his response of why he doesn’t want to be promoted by golden boy who basically isna west coast promotion that caters to the Mexican-American fight fan with Mexican and Mexican American fighters. Canelo and Garcia are the most promoted fighters in that outfit. How many blue chip black American fighters want to sign with golden boy? None. And throw in the fact that golden boy had its own racist email scandal regarding PBC/haymon and the plot thickens. By the way, fishnets didn’t respond when Spence said that, and he deleted the tweet. I guess he didn’t want that going any further.....

The problem for TR, to properly promote Crawford, is that they have to promote his opponents, and nobody is buying it! It's much easier to promote Spence vs. Mikey, because that's 2 P4P fighters facing off, even with the weight differences! That's the same as promoting Lomachenko vs. Rigo! Terence doesn't face fighters on that level! It's not going to be hard to promote Pacquiao vs. Thurman, or Spence vs. Porter! How about Crawford vs. Kavaliauskas, or Crawford vs. Bes*****? Crawford vs. Brook? What has Brook done since beating Porter by SD? What has Porter done since losing to Brook? See the difference?

As far as pushing Loma while pushing Crawford, it's really a win for ESPN, but not Crawford! As soon as Teofimo Lopez was put on the undercard, he took a lot of shine off Crawford, and of course Loma's name has to come up! ESPN knows there's a small window of opportunity to make Loma vs. Lopez, and that's a HOT fight! Crawford doesn't have anything sexy to talk about! Loma vs. Berchelt? HOT! Even Loma vs. Commey is a unification! None of that in Crawford's near future! How do you promote Bes***** and Kavaliauskas?

Last but not least, Bob Arum! 2 weeks before 4/20: If Crawford and DSG win, i'll try to make the fight again. After DSG has one of his best performances ever: Crawford vs. Garcia is not a real fight! We won't even go into the post fight "Brotherhood" comments, but even BoMac said, regarding Crawford vs. Spence, "That probably won't get it done!" Floyd said, and Bob agreed, that he left TR b/c they didn't know how to market to the "urban" community. Arum felt the Latino community was more important! However Arum still doesn't know how to market to the "urban" community! PBC has that market on lock! Crawford needs that "urban" market! He might want to do what Floyd did! How'd that work out for Floyd?

It's an assessment of DLH. There is too much smoke out there for there not to be a fire. Regardless of Mosely and Hopkins presence.
