How Petty was The PBC For This?

[DuckAdonis]

LMFAO that is pathetic yes...

I bet you would never see sh#t like that on ESPN or DAZN. They always show and talk about ALL the champs. Not just the ones in their own company while pretending the others don't exist. Wow

[GrandpaBernard]

how does it keep him away? why won't pbc work with top rank? Pacquiao fought for years under top rank and faced many top welterweights before he left

Would it not be easier for Bud to mix it up with PBC fighters if he was apart of it?

They are separate leagues with different belts specifically just for their own leagues. They mentioned all the boxing belt org champs EXCEPT WBO which Crawford holds. If they wanted to say these are all the champs at PBC maybe you could get away with that but saying these are all the world champs ag welterweight and ignoring not just 1 but the guy who is rated ahead of all of them pound for pound makes them look like propanda you would see in the news from a 3rd world country that doesn't have free press.

That is a real lame attempt at a comparison. But like i said, their attempt at a lack of promotion of Crawford has resulted in promotion of Crawford. It seems everybody noticed his name not among the list of champs even though he is one and now we are all talking about him.

Crawford should be more mad at Top Rank & ESPN lack of promoting him. That's not PBC's job. Arum wouldn't even get Crawford the fight 2 years ago. That shows how little faith he had in Crawford becoming a star

lol that was pretty pathetic.

@ErrolSpenceJr is the best welterweight PERIOD....#F**kDaOtherSide

I could give a phuk about all that promotional battle bs. Its a bad look from FOX to say here are all the Welterweight world champs and ignore crawford they lose creditability. HBO or showtime forever spoke and mentioned other champions even if they weren't signed or fighting on their network. DAZN talked about this fight and mentions other world champs not signed to DAZN so does ESPN. PBC has now become some proganda like you see from 3rd world countries that don't have free press trying to lie to fans like Crawford isn't a welterweight champ when he is ranked pound for pound the best fighter in the world ahead of every PBC Champion? SMH

Mentioning Crawford when speaking about the welterweight landscape isn't promoting Crawford you idiot it's called accurately reporting the news!

[DARTH SILKWORMS]

If that's the case then I actually support that. They're all bad but the WBO takes the cake in terms of being transparently corrupt. It should be de-recognised

I actually made a thread about this after Ruiz beat Joshua. All of Fox's coverage ignored the WBO. The on screen graphic when Ruiz was interviewed on Inside PBC Boxing just said IBF/WBA champion. The on screen graphic showing all the heavyweight champions only showed the WBC, IBF, Super WBA and Regular WBA. Same thing they did last night when discussing welterweight.

It's an editorial decision by Fox to only recognize the original three organizations, just as Sky decided years ago to stop recognizing the IBO. Networks have their own policies when recognizing titles. Showtime continues to list WBO champions in their graphics on PBC broadcasts.

Didn't HBO do this back in the day. Same difference to me.

And who really cares, the fact there are 5 "world" champions in a division is about mfing r3tarded in the first place.

Arum messed up in trying to screw over Pac, he was loyal for years but after the Horn debacle he was given inside info that it was setup so Pac can rematch Horn etc etc (apparently that is what was done to him with Bradley and he let it slide the first time) Pac wasn't having that BS this time around and the icing on the cake was the attempt to have him be the "co-main undercard" in the Crawford-Horn fight.

Crawford signed and I bet was promised by Arum that Manny would "pass the torch" to him but now that's in the wind.

I'm telling you this, lets say Manny beats the winner of Spence-Porter, he will NOT give Arum another payday and retire instead of fighting Crawford.

Arum **** the bed and got too greedy, Bud Crawford is paying the price.

Spence is the undisputed lightweight champ after his Mikey Garcia victory.

No it happened above that weight class.
