    Oh. Why does Lomachenko get more promotion than Crawford?

    You think I'm so ****** I cannot see what the OP is alluding to huh? You think the word RACE needs to be mentioned in order for something to be racists?

    A guy just like you said the exact same **** to me just the other day here and you know what he followed it up with? By calling ME a racists and suggesting that I, "quit projecting MY white inferiority " unto him, a black man.

    Why don't you answer the question then. Why is Lomachenko getting more promotion in the OPs opinion then?

    Yeah. GOOD LUCK with you answer.

      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.
      This reminds me alot when Bob was pulling that BS on Floyd. Said he would never make what he offered Floyd to fight Cheato and he made that on his OWN fighting Baldomir. Top Rank was ALL-IN on promoting Cheato over Floyd.

      De Ja Vu all over again...

        Obviously I can’t answer for what’s in somebody else’s head. Maybe the thread starter does think that race is why loma is getting better promotion over Crawford. Why didn’t you ask him if he thought that race was the issue?

        Better yet let me ask you, why do you think that loma gets more promo than Crawford since you’ve immediately dismissed race as being a factor?

        To be fair to the guy who accused you of being racist, people who use the term “race card” are generally racist.

            $$$$ and Race.

            Don't forget we ALWAYS see Loma and Bob Arum hanging and taking photo ops at fights. I can't remember the last time I saw Crawford and Bob next to each other watching fights???

              I find it hard to understand why an American ww is secondary to a Russian LW when it come to an American promotional company.

              This ain’t a Manny and cotto dynamic where one guy is a huge star and bob chooses a mega star over him.

              Crawford has the built in base in Omaha that draws well that Loma doesn’t have.

              Why can’t you understand why some posters look at that and ask questions or even get upset?

              Crawford took the money so he can’t really complain.

                Another Bob Arum hates black people thread.

                PBC fans are certainly possessive of African American fighters... even when they aren’t with PBC.

                  BoMac never entertained offers from anyone else either. Its a case of Crawford trusting his boy to do the best thing for him when in reality he did the best thing for himself.

                    We've seen this happen over and over again. But people want to question why I this Top Rank will do exactly what Top Rank has always done.

                      And I'm the last one to hate on that! He's doing what he LOVES and making good $$$. He's doing the BEST thing for his family and himself. Bob gave him this GREAT opportunity and he appreciates that. He's a loyal guy what can you say...Sure I would love to see him against the best. But it takes two to tangle.
