If Crawford becomes a free agent next year...

[rickJen]

if he becomes a free agent, he'll just run right back to Bob Arum and continue to fight bs fights and mandatories

Yeah, PBC fighters are too scared to fight him.
Seems there's no need for Bud to cross the street.

[Mister Wolf]

He will look at his offers and go with whoever offers the most guaranteed money per fight.

Moments ago you said this:

I've been saying it for years. Lomachenko and Crawford need to get the hell away from Arum. He's destroying their careers. Both should be bigger than what they are.

Make up your mind brotha.

I think it's border line criminal but the only way Crawford gets even a sniff at the PBC fighters he wants is to be fully signed up to the cult of the PBC. Free agent, DAZN, what ever, he will need to be a PBC guy to get those fights.

If he did, and I wouldn't blame him if he did, I suppose its the logical move, I'd want the spence fight, they have niggled at each other, squared off and taunted each other, tovme that means it's on, nothing worse than mouthing off at some guy you didn't intend on fighting.

I don't think Porter, Spence, or any PBC fighter outside of Garcia and Thurman at ww are afraid of fight anyone. And I don't know why you quoted me to say this. I'm not a blind follower of any fighter, promoter, network, or whatever. I know that you're used to responding to ***riders across the internet, but I'm not one of them. I'm not of the mindset of "I have to blindly follow someone or something because it's mandatory".

My mind is made up. I like Crawford, but he has to get the hell away from Arum. He wants to get the big fights, but it's not happening under Arum and for some reason, he's happy being there. I don't think Crawford is ducking anyone and I don't think he's being ducked as is being stated. He just has to leave Arum. Read my post to Genrick. I don't give a f*k about Arum, GBP, PBC, TMT or whatever. I'm not a child following a promotion or fighter defending their every move. Out of all fighters today, there are probably only 4 fighters(UK fighters not included) that I dont like total.

Even if he becomes a free agent Crawford will have problems getting A class fights simply because Spence et al will use any excuse to duck him. So Bud has no option but to fight bums, they will have a go for the pay day and hoping for a miracle. This is a common pattern with American boxing today, don't fight someone who will likely beat you unless there are other benefits, real or possible.

Just as well there are foreign fighters who will have a go even if they get criticised for losing. Without them US boxing would be without real boxing interest and instead be more of a social media circus than it already is.

Yeah, that's the problem.
He becomes a free agent and PBC fighters still has no interest in fighting him.
He might as well remain with TR.
