Top Rank using Crawford's card to promote Lomachenko

[Motorcity Cobra]

Commey vs. Teo is the fight of the night. That fight was actually made before the Crawford vs Mean Machine fight. They threw Crawford on the main event to draw viewers to the card so we can listen to them talk about Lomachenko all night.

The investment they've made in fighters around Lomachenko to make sure he has legitimate opponents and their promotions behind him is how you build a star.

Bob even said Crawford's fight isn't going to be a good fight.

Playing the race card again, eh?

In my view, Crawford, Lomachenko, none of them stands out significantly. Doesn't matter how they are promoted because there's no better promoter than yourself as a fighter.

So I don't believe this alleged orchestrated scheme to promote someone at the expense of another. People are not that shallow. Don't even know why you keep insulting people's intelligence.

Playing the facts card. This card is all about promoting Lomachenko next fight by using Bud. Bud was the final edition to this card. Even Arum said this isn't a good fight.

Should i make a topic about the real reason Bud extended his contract with Top Rank & why he will never leave them?

I'm sort of thinking Loma will fight Lopez/Commey winner, Berchelt and Frampton.

Bud will fight Kavaliauskas, Abdukakhorov and Bes*****.

That's the plan. Lomachenko has a good path set for him by Top Rank. They never invested in opponents for Crawford.

[lolpz]

I don't believe this is the case.

I think these two fights were put on the same card because of lack of dates at the end of the year. This fight had to get made, and Crawford had to get a fight in before the year end as well. This is why they are on the same card.

They really didnt... I was thinking they was going the Bradley route by using Manny to build Crawford. But that aint happen and i see no plan B.

All i see is Arum using fans hate for PBC to point fingers while turning down fights behind the scenes.

Yep. Instead of going...

Lomachenko is getting promoted because dude is about to fight for the undisputed championship at 135

There guys need to pull the race card anytime they get. It was Crawfords choice to resign with Top Rank KNOWING they had nobody. Same people come online everyday to ***** about boxing politics know this, OP knows this.

But no. Its because Crawford is black and Lomachenko is white.

Yeah Arum must have set only white fighters up for success that's why Crawford was also undisputed at 140lbs right and universally like p4p top 5 for everyone. Yep. Bob only loves white fighters so much he keeps overpaying Crawford to fight nobodies.

Yeah. None of this is Crawford fault. Only blame the white guy. Because white is always wrong.

How do you play the “race card” when race isn’t even mentioned? The only people who’ve brought up race is you people crying about a race card.
