Comments Thread For: Video: Errol Spence Doubles Down on Crawford, Arum

[Thaman2x]

There's some incredible amnesia on NSB lately regarding Arum and his antics. But it's cool...Keep drinking the Kool-Aid and believing that Bob REALLY wants to make the Spence fight right now....Just like Bob had Floyd's name in his and everybody else's mouths after each Pacquiao fight. Get real.

If anyone is seriously claiming that Spence is ducking Crawford, please put the pipe down...Spence is fighting 2 more times this year. 3 more times next year. Next up is either Porter or Garcia (most likely Porter).

Bob has to realize, that he is in the inferior position regarding welterweights...He needs to play ball and play nicely, and more than anything else, issue a public apology to the entire PBC organization; namely Al Haymon.

Bob is going to find himself on the outside looking in, with NO ONE for Crawford to fight. Meanwhile, outside of SPence, he has already decried a Danny Garcia matchup...That's ridiculous seeing as though Garcia, especially with his recent win, is a credible scalp to Bud's resume.

Hell, we cant even do a super six type of thing given the current promotional situation. It's incredibly frustrating for all fans...But, when it comes to super fights like Spence Crawford, historically, there is always a common denominator- BOB ARUM- that creates an issue from it happening.

Oh really? Why does the Haymon side fold up like a tent when banter and criticism ensues from the other side? Should every current and future promoter just feel privileged to do business with him or does business and does competition mean something after all? It would bode Haymon well to have a great communicator go to a war with words with Hearn because right now they just look like clowns with Ellerbe being an idiot and Floyd being a delusional liar on what lies on the horizon for their fighters.

using the race card and character defamation maybe considered banter in the U.K. but in the US Urban Community it’s called disrespect. And disrespect will not be tolerated!!

PBC will not survive that long while Crawford and Arum are calling Spence and PBC/Hymen out. Bud isn't Pac..he won't sit back and say "talk to my promoter" for 5 years as was the case with Pac/May. It won't be long before a whole bunch of people are calling Spence a duck and Spence's ego won't allow for that. He'll put internal pressure on Hymen to make the fight.

If it doesn't happen by the end of 2020, he'll leave PBC.

The way it looks now spence is perfectly comfortable with how Haymon run things. If he wants supremacy and truly believes he is the best in WW he asks for the fight now as they are both at their absolute primes. Bragging about your options instead of wanting the fight just proves otherwise.

Pac also sent Koncz to Floyd’s camp in 2013 to negotiate about the fight and had floyd summon by HBO many times in 2010 to 2012 while he was taking long vacations.
Floyd was the A-side and could’ve pushed for the fight more as it was universally known that pac already agreed to blood testing late 2010.
But nope he just ride the fact that pac declined the first blood negotiation til 2015. Had no problem doing business with arum, had no problem without the flat fee and had no problem without pac signing to tmt.
