People don't understand Crawford had no choice but to resign with top rank

[Gpabrooklyn]

Terrance Crawford was not a highly rated amateur,contrary to popular belief,he became an elite fighter after he turned pro,he didn't have promoters chasing him down like Spence or Shakur Stevenson did,so he took a deal with a low level promoter,arum brought him outta his deal to sign him to top rank,but his former promoter still gets like 15 percent of his earnings,people don't no that buds money passes through two promoters before it gets to him, on top of taxes,which is why Spence said he's willing to show tax returns to show who makes more,it's not even close honestly,I doubt haymon would be willing to keep paying the former promoter like arum is doing,so bud really had no choice but to sign back to arum

That's a good theory, but it's not factual. Even if the part about the ex-promoter being paid 15% is true, you lost me at "I doubt haymon would be willing to keep paying the former promoter like arum is doing."

You REALLY think if Crawford wanted to sign with PBC that Al Haymon would reject him? C'mon son

[Rip Chudd]

Not buying it bro. He could of signed with anyone given his talent now. Forget all the past crap, what was his value when he could of been free on the market? You really don't believe someone like Haymon with deep pockets and influence could of bought out his other promoter?

It don't matter to me either way, they should all be able sign with who ever they want and expect to be in big fights. We all know which promotional outfit is stopping the big fights from happening and we know why. Crawford should not be forced to go to the PBC to take on the big names at the PBC.

BS.... Al Haymon would sign him, give him a bonus, then send a live band to his house. Foh

Couldn’t care less who he signed with, if they can work together for a Wilder/Fury fight then they can do 50/50 for Spence/Bud fight.

You missing the point, obviously if arum is still paying the former promoter whatever deal he had with Crawford can't just be gotten out of,I'm sure Bob would prefer to keep all the money,we don't no what kinda contract bud signed,you nor I no what haymon would or would not do,he never talks

No I don't because greedy arum apparently couldn't,it's not just about having deep pockets,the promoter has to actually be willing to be brought out,just like fighters have to be willing to take step aside money
