Arum says he's working on Crawford's next opponent. It'll be a "top opponent"

No fighter is signing a seven year extension, especially a 30+ year old lol.

Probably ends sometime next year.

But once again, if he doesn't want to leave TR or sign elsewhere, why should he? No fighter should ever be forced to sign with someone he doesn't want to sign with.

I definitely agree with you which is why I've made the case in prior posts about there being no guarantee Bud would be fighting the guys we want him to fight if he were under Al. Spence was trying to fight Thurman for 2 years and now that fight really has no allure. I assume Crawford will be approached to re-up next year which will REALLY tell if he feels OK at TR or if being on his own will get him the fights. As it stands, it doesn't seem like TR knows what to do with him based on how the business model is currently structured with the Network deals everyone has.
