    With today's boxers typically only fighting once every 6 months Crawford would be waiting a long time for the winner of Pacquiao vs Thurman..

          They could wait until November or December to make it happen

            Arum couldn't make Manny vs Bud when it was an in house fight. Which is odd for him.

            And beyond that Arum SUCKS at doing big fights across ent^ties so him making Thurman, Spence or Porter vs Bud seems unlikely at best.

              Thé only way Arum makes any of those fights is if Bud is loud enough
              Crawford , if he really wants it , would have to force Arum’s hand by making noise
              I think Bud is realizing he needs a name on his resume to propel him

                you're so right. If Crawford was interested in doing bigger fights he would have demanded a Pacquiao fight to propel his career. But I don't think Bud wants big fights. To be honest, I don't think Crawford believes in his heart that he can beat Manny Pacquiao that's why he never calls out Pacquiao. Crawford should have been looking to settle that Top Rank issue with Manny that was screwed up by Bob Arum. That'd be a heck of a fight, if Crawford wants it.

                  Bud was very quiet until a little while ago
                  Imo , it’s about time cause he won’t notice but his career will fly right by
                  Forget Pac for now , Bud knows that a fight with Spence will bring along fame and fortune
                  That’s what I think he is after at this moment , he needs an authentic name on his resume
                  If not Spence then who
                  It’s a smart business move and career wise
                  Win win for both guys
                  This is a fight that can standup on its own
                  Bud’s just got to get to Arum

                    I only see one scenario of this happening.

                    That's if Pacquiao miraculously wins against Thurman on July 20. Coincidentally, his 2-fight contract with PBC is also completed. I see this as a window of opportunity for Bud.

                    Manny possibly asks Bob Arum one more time for a 20-30 million fight against Bud and Arum this time would not turn down this last opportunity he thought was gone forever; and for the other reason of fearing Spence getting all 3 belts and losing leverage in negotiation with Spence in the future.
