    If you were Haymon why would you rush for the Spence-Crawford fight?

    Lets be real here This man has 3 of the ww champs on his roster and Manny..why would he not make those fights first?? what business man would not focus on his own roster first? Sure we as fans want the fight but you have to use commonsense here.

        I agree Spence shoud fight the other world champs first so should Crawford if given the chance.

          Its not even a question of PBC being more well armed at 147. Its a matter of there being 5 mfers standing in the division & its a legit argument Bud & Spence got the worst resumes oddly enough.

          I'd RATHER if a whole bunch of fights happened sooner rather than later, but the reality is thats not happening unless the whole structure of boxing is altered & right now Bud vs Spence makes no sense to the parties that be til we fatten up both guys' resumes a lil bit in their next 2 or 3 fights & knock off some of these other guys (Manny, Thurman & Porter).

            I agree with you Larry. Its not what people want to hear but its 100% true. Haymon is doing the smart thing business wise.

              I wouldn't "rush", but I'd establish a roadmap at least. We've seen that combat sports can survive when champs face each other and there's this fallacy that if two top guys fight each other, there's nothing left. There's always rematches, new talents coming up. Boxing was supposed to die when Mayweather left. Didn't happen.

              Without any roadmap or apparent intention to make the fight, it just breeds distrust with the fans.

                "why you care about someone else's money though?" "i just want to see the fights"

                Told you you were a flip flopping hypocrite Larry. You proved me right.

                  I talked shyt about Arum for years for doing this kind of thing. I don't think it's ok just because it's Haymon.

                    If I was Haymon my thinking would be stall ...fight porter and winner of Thurman pac maybe a bull$it defense in between and by then he has to move up to 54 and I will effectively kept him away from the most dangerous fighter good for my pocketbook bad for Spence legacy that’s if I was haymon
