    Finally somebody made a thread about it, that doesn't sound good for Crawford honestly.

    Also a very clear indications that A LOT of money was lost for Crawford vs Khan so they're sending him back to Nebraska where he can at least Draw a big Crawford likely in a In House Fight!

    Could also explain why Jose Ramirez is being allowed to go fight over on DAZN

    I honestly don't think ESPN is all that happy with the Results from their deal with Top Rank. Haven't had a Big Match YET! Could be why all of a sudden they want to speed things up with Wilder and Bob all of a sudden talking about doing that fight "THIS YEAR"

    Even ESPN See the numbers are not F#CKING Adding Up! They pumping Millions into Boxing and people are barely watching it compared to their other Programs and other Sports they show

            At the time they still had Pacquiao. We now know who kept Arum afloat this past decade+

              Yes, I agree with you. It's been long over due. It's time for Crawford to become a promotional and network free agent by buying out his contract; Because we all know that Bob's lines are still open.

              Ah Bullshit! That motherfucker can get the money! If he wants to get it! He knows damn well he can get it! He just paid Tyson Fury $12.5 mil on Saturday night to fight a scrub.

              So don't tell me that Bob Arum doesn't have the deep pockets, budget and resources with ESPN to get that fight done. His problem is that he just doesn't want to.

                  Brook priced himself out of the fight. Probably was asking for $25MM guaranteed.

                    But your dumb ass would be excited for Brook/Khan.

                      How much is Kell Brook asking to get paid?

                      He's not exactly a big star anymore. Mostly irrelevant at this point. Even in England.
