    This is how you guarantee the Bud v. Spence fight.

    Arum petitions the WBC to make Crawford vs. Ugas the eliminator and chance to become mandatory for the winner of Spence vs. Porter. The WBC has shown their willingness to have champs of other sanctioning orgs fight in their eliminators & for vacant belts. Kovalev vs. Pascal. Lomachenko vs. Campbell. And GGG vs. Rubio are 3 recent examples.

    Fighting an eliminator gives a solid timeline for the fight. As long as he fights the eliminator he doesn't have to wait around 600 days. And as long as he doesn't take step aside money (GGG & Eldier Alvarez) That's how you guarantee the fight happens.

    Not that simple. None of the examples you've listed apply to this situation. Pascal was already diamond champion, so Kovalev could petition to become mandatory if he won the diamond title.

    Lomachenko petitioned to fight for a vacant title.

    Rubio was interim champion and GGG fought and beat him to become interim champion, and therefore, the mandatory.

      These people are not Bud fans. They're PBC haters. I write a topic about Bradley saying Top Rank doesn't work with PBC & a supposed Bud fan writes a topic about PBC not letting fighters fight on other networks.

      I write a topic about Bud saying Top Rank holds up a lot of things and Spence isn't ducking him and a supposed Bud fan writes a topic Spence is ducking Bud & another supposed Spence fan brings up Charlo

      I write a topic saying Bud could fight Ugas as a WBC eliminator & a supposed Bud fan writes a topic blaming PBC for feeding Figureoa to Ugas

      These people aren't Crawford fans. They're PBC haters. They never showed love to Crawford until he got to 147. Not they're using him as a tool to hate on PBC.

      Nobody with a lick of common Sense is falling for all these sudden Bud Crawford fans.

          I think it's pretty clear I said VACANT belt as an example of the WBC being willing to work with other champs. That was my point of using that example. Haney vs. Campbell should've been for the vacant title or if not it should've been a 4 man eliminator.

          Which brings me to the point of the WBC willing to work with other champs in other to make fights happen

          My post literally says the WBC is willing to work with other champs to make fights happen here are some example and for some strange reason you read that as "here is the exact same situation as Bud & Spence"

            Sulaiman: Spence-Porter Winner Will Have Pending Mandatories

            LAS VEGAS, NV - WBC President Mauricio Sulaiman was in town this past weekend for the annual Nevada Boxing Hall of Fame gala. This year's class included Juan Manuel Marquez, Bernard Hopkins, Winky Wright, and several other legends.


            This could be Bud if Arum is serious

              It's a good idea in theory. The WBC have been pushing for the big fights to happen for their titles so I'd assume they'd be open to the idea.
              With the lack of opponents on the TR side, youd think they'd also be willing to go that route.

                The WBC publicly announced the winner of the fight would be named the mandatory, regardless of who won. I don't know if Pascal rejected the opportunity, but the WBC was willing to make him mandatory if he won.

                They're willing to let other champions fight for the diamond title. They're willing to let other champions fight for the interim title. They're willing to let other champions fight for the world title.

                All of those situations are very different from allowing other champions to fight other contenders in an eliminator to become the mandatory. It'd be different if Ugas was already diamond champion, but he's not a big name and it'd be hard to justify giving him a diamond title fight.

                  All that BS you wrote doesn't guarantee anything. As long as Arum won't do business with Haymon there will be no Crawford vs Spence fight. If Arum changes his mind the fight might happen IF they can agree on money and terms.

                    I don't think they will want the fight on a mandatory split maybe Arum should do like he did with Ramirez and loan bud to PBC for 1 fight
