Comments Thread For: Bob Arum 'Still Optimistic' Crawford-Spence Can Be Made Next

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

LAS VEGAS Bob Arum hasn't given up hope of making the welterweight fight next. Terence Crawford's promoter told a group of reporters Wednesday that he still thinks he can help put together the Crawford-Errol Spence Jr. fight for some time in the fall. Arum pointed to the fact that Spence's supposed next fight another 147-pound title unification bout with Shawn Porter hasn't been announced as evidence that Spence and his adviser, Al Haymon, will be open to making Crawford-Spence next.

Spence and Porter will fight next. The only thing that would stop it is if Canelo wants to fight Spence, and that is a long shot.

Not sure who Bud is up against but isn't Porter meant to be facing Spence next

Classic Arum smokescreen. Act like you're trying to make the best fight out there, so that whenever we end up having to settle for Crawford vs. Collazo Top Rank can act like they *tried* to fight the best opponent/s but no one would take the fight.

I think the porter fight will still be made & Errol/Bud would be in 2020.

Haven't heard much in regards to Crawford-Brook recently.

Bob saved Manny Pacquiao's life by keeping him away from Crawford. He cares more for Manny's health than the $$$$ this fight would generate.

The best promoter ever! Straight shooter. Thanks for keeping it real Bob Arum. I hope you continue on over 100 years.

Pimp daddy AL would never let his working girls take a real risk. Better he keep sweet talking them saying how well he pays them while in reality he keeps that cash. Stagnation central.
