    What’s wrong with Crawford having stayed with Top Rank?

    I hear people say he renewed his Top Rank contract last year to avoid Spence and others? If he has been making good money at Top Rank why would he need to leave Top Rank? I don’t recall Crawford saying he wanted to be undisputed as once Keith said and now Spence.

    Does anybody know if Crawford said he wanted to be the Undisputed Welterweight of the world?

    Is Crawford not allowed to stay loyal to Arum as Wilder is to Showtime? Wilder and his handlers said loyalty was special.

    People are overly invested in the politics between different tv networks. It's ****** as it concerns none of them or their pockets. Tribalism makes people go ugh ugh caveman mode over anything.

      Nothing at all. He's being paid very well by Top Rank.

        PBC has the rest of the belts and top contenders under contract. Therefore, they will deny him a shot as long as he stays with Arum.
        Al haymon wants to keep control of the division.

          Nothing. Crawford should do what satisfies him and his family. However, you take the good with the bad. Any negatives that come out of his decision is not something I can pity.

            You have a bunch of low IQ tarded American PBC fans who will turn their back on the best American fighter because PBC fighters are ducking him. ****ing crazy, never seen anything like it.

              The same people who jock Al Haymon's PBC cards are also the same ones who are too cheap to purchase either ESPN + or DAZN!.

                he's done nothing wrong . gets paid well by top rank. it's just frustrating for fans because we want to see the best fight the best and that won't happen because they are on different networks.

                Will be interesting to see who they line up for him to fight. Ramirez will move up and fight him at some stage

                  The problem is he's whining like a little b*tch about not being able to get fights against any relevant welterweight, and they all so happen to be with PBC.

                  It's understandable, but he's exclusively tied to ESPN network. No PBC fighter fights on that network.

                  Why sit there and sign with Top Rank and ESPN just to cry about not getting the fights you want? He could've avoided being in the situation he's in right now. It's not like he can just move up to 154 either, as he was fighting at lightweight just a few years ago and Top Rank's stable is also horrible at 154.

                  Funny how Spence who was complaining about no welterweights wanting to fight him was being crucified for it being that all the top 147 was in his own stable and they simply refused to fight him. He was told to stop crying and move up.

                  Now when Crawford cries about it, everyone sides with him and calls all other 147lber's ducks for refusing to betray their people to go fight Crawford on ESPN.

                  Ridiculous.

                    It proves he's content with fighting scrubs. Crawfish never pushed Bob to make the Pacquiao fight when Pac was stilled signed with Top Rank because he doesn't have the desire to be great. Crawfish looks at his mediocre resume and he's fine with that. And the worst part about the entire situation is Bob isn't even doing a good job promoting Crawford's career, yet Crawford stays loyal to Top Rank. He's Bob's bastard son while Loma is Top Rank's pride and joy. It's an honestly an embarrassment how Top Rank barely promotes someone as talented as Crawford
