Comments Thread For: De La Hoya: Arum Might Keep Crawford From Making HOF!

[Bob Haymon]

What's Oscar doing for Jojo Diaz and Munguia, besides getting them to duck champions and getting them opponents ranked outside the top 100. What's he doing for Lamont Roach except for getting him screwed over in Puerto Rico? What's he doing for Rashidi Ellis besides allowing him to fade into oblivion?

[factsarenice]

I thought Bob Said or it could've been Bud Trainer/Manager BoMac that said it was $3 Million and the reasoning made sense, I think one of them said because it was going to be on ESPN and not PPV which is why he was offered less than Khan

There was an article on BoxingScene that said the offer was $4 million and Ring TV said Dave Moretti made an offer directly to Angle for $3million plus a percentage of the PPV's.

Loma vs Pacman

Arum, then, could make a mega fight between his Lomachencko against Pacquiao at 138, which Arum suggested before. THAT is a fight bigger than anything else and will be very much anticipated more than Crawford vs an unknown. But Arum is hesitant because their grooming Loma might get derailed should Pacquiao "upset" Loma, which is highly probable, and there goes his money-making fighter down the drain...

You are correct. I just listed those three because of their significance historically and their longevity.
Taylor somehow just got derailed mentally and got sidelined by the massive KO’s he went through
Regardless, you are correct 100%

I’m old but this grey matter hasn’t as yet departed its capabilities 👍🏿
I think Taylor has some very serious mental illness problems, I would not be surprised if there is a traumatic brain injury causing the issue. Taylor took some shots in his career and having spent a career in the Army during two combat eras, I have seen my fair share of men with TBI’s. Shame to see what’s happened to that man. I remember watching his fights while deployed to Iraq, watching Armed Forces Network. Shame indeed

It’s more than not getting fights ITS CRAWFORDS AGE!!

PRIME IS SOON TO LEAVE

That's true bud is like the deontay of his division everybody is waiting for him to age more then fight him

[Phenom]

Arum? Or PBC? If Haymon refuses to recognize the WBO champion and keep his fights in-house, that’s on Haymon.

He can work his way into mandatory or Arum can send him over to Fox/showtime like Oscar did for Linares

PBC don't really need to send anyone to ESPN because they have bigger draws than Crawford

[The D3vil]

Crawford already has a seat warmed for him in the HOF. 13-0 in title fights the past 5+ years. Once undisputed.

This.

What Oscar's referring to is all-time greatness.

That window might already be closed on Crawford.

Unless he beats Spence and say runs through Garcia, Porter, Thurman, & say a 140 killer like Prograis, then Crawford's already a "what if".

[mapleleaf27]

Terence Duckford needs to tell Arum to shut the hell up and make the Spence fight. Arum goes on his whining racist rants and screws up everything everytime 🥊

is this your opinion or do you have some sources or links???
"Haymon has always been on board"
can we read what you read???

"Arum goes on his whining racist rants "
can you please paste his actual remarks or provide links???

You seem to have access to some great insider information are you sure any of it is true?

[Oregonian]

I'm not sure if you knew there are weight classes... and that Crawford was a Jr Welterweight. Crawford made history unifying 4 belts at Jr Welterweight.

More over, any attempt to cheapen that accomplishment by scouring though time and weight classes in an effort to water down his achievement doesn't make you witty or smart it makes you a hack in search of an angle to discredit greatness. No matter what you or old tool say, if Crawford quit tomorrow he made history and the HOF doing something nobody else could accomplish.

I don’t want to get personal but did you not read what I wrote?
I agree with you that Crawford is a HoF boxer and I wasn’t discrediting his achievementscst all.

I was correcting your theory that he is the only one to unify a division. He is/was not.

Lastly, I wasn’t scouring through anything, I just know because I follow boxing. Why are you offended when someone points out something that is factual and contrary to your post?

This is not a **** measuring contest.

Dude Terrence Crawford fights always do better ratings than lomo

One of these guys need to retire old Pacman to be recognized worldwide and catch up with PPV Canelo.
