    Bingo. I can never fault a man for getting his money, but it's never been a surprise that he won't get PBC fighters.

      There's only one explanation. He doesn't want to fight the best competition out there. If he does then he will leave Top Rank and go to the PBC since they hold all the cards.

      If he becomes the World's undisputed welterweight champion, then it would be a very distinguished achievement for him; Even more than his undisputed Junior welterweight championship that he won.

      The PBC is loaded with talent at 147 like: Shawn Porter, Keith Thurman, Danny Garcia, Mikey Garcia, Yordenis Ugás, Manny Pacquiao, Adrien Broner, Josesito Lopez, Victor Ortiz, Andre Berto, Sergey Lipinets, Ivan Redkach, Jesús Soto Karass, Devon Alexander and a host of many others he could fight at welterweight.

          Is Thurman, Pac or Porter more difficult than Crawford? Why did Spence say he wouldn’t cross?

              Man, please quote me in my proper text because I don't have the slightest clue of what you are even talking about?

                Yeah, yet the PBC fanboys want Jermall Charlo, who hasn't fought any of the top 10 guys in his division, to stick with his uncle Al fighting tomato cans.

                  He has a family and has to do what’s best for them. There’s no harm in that.

                    Nothing wrong with it...FOR NOW!

                    But Like Oscar, Mayweather, Cotto, Pacquiao it is only a matter of time before he leave Top Rank for GREENER PASTURES

                    His deal was great...INITIALLY! This was just before DAZN started spending all the money they're spending and this was when Pacquiao was STILL with Top Rank so he probably thought by staying he could ultimately get the Pacquiao fight. Then all of a sudden Pacquiao jumps to PBC leaving Crawford with absolutely NOTHING at 147 so it is not really Crawford fault. Now however, that deal is not looking so great and he is not getting any big fights so yeah ultimately he will have to do whatever it takes to make those fights even if it means joining PBC to do it

                    If I was Haymon...F#CK YOU I would not send Arum and Crawford anything that is not his concern or his job. However as a boxing fan which is what I am, I do think they should send over Danny Garcia, Lipinets or Ugas because what it does it helps make the potential match up of Spence Jr vs Crawford EVEN BIGGER!

                    This is not the Mega Fight that people pretend it is, not yet but it can be! What they cannot do is allow Spence Jr fight everybody (Porter, Danny Garcia, Pacquiao, Ugas) while Crawford is over on ESPN fighting Egidijus Kvalaghjklgjk(whatever) aka Mean Machine and Alexander Bes***** and expect it to be a big fight when they fight

                      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.
