Comments Thread For: Crawford: Frustrating Not To Face PBC Fighters, Nothing I Can Do

[AdonisCreed]

Crawford knew dam well there were no big name WW's under Top Rank when he re-signed with them. That's his own fault. He better take a pay cut to at least get a big name to fight him. Otherwise move back to 140 I don't think he makes it at 154 period.

I think it's all bs,the best should fight the best, bottom line,so what Crawford signed with Bob arum,if Spence wanna fight him,then it could happen, point is, Spence don't wanna fight him,we as fans should call both of them out and not support either one until they agree to fight each other, boycott watching their fights and stop paying for them until they fight each other

I dont blame Charlo for anything. Same rules apply. If all the best Middles are with DAZN Charlo should be free to resign with Haymon and still expect to take on those DAZN fighters if he wishes to fight them.

Charlo is free to take on any DAZN fighters on DAZN should he wish to, If he wants to face those DAZN fighters on FOX or Showtime then that is just fine by everybody. But Fox or Showtime and the PBC should be ready to stump up more money than DAZN are willing to spend on the same fights. Thats how its always worked. Go to the money.

And thats the problem at the PBC at the minute. It appears DAZN and ESPN through Top Rank seem to be ready to put more money forward for these fights than the PBC is and rather than release their fighters to fight on other networks for the chance to make more money and win belts the PBC are just holding their fighters back.

Thats where the real problem is. If the PBC, Fox, Showtime outbid their competitors then there wouldnt be a problem. But they dont even attempt to all they do is block any chance of the fights happening, pretend these none PBC fighters and their belts dont even exist and go back to making inhouse fights.

Why lie about Top Rank having all of this mystery money when Bob Arum himself is talking about taking 10 shows abroad for fees because he's not making money in the US.

Crawford going to South Africa? For what?

So you want to talk wallets? lol

20 yeard later, will boxing fans say Spence ducked Crawford or Crawford ducked Spence?

Crawford is responsible for his own career. Moving up to welterweight while extending his contract with Arum could only go one way. We can argue all day long that Haymon *should* make his boxers available, but that won't change a thing.

At least Pac did the smart thing.

20 years from now, folks will ask who the **** is Terence Crawford, and all folks will have to respond with is "Oh he's the guy who fought Gamboa, when he was Gamboa"

Crawford made 5 million $ in his last fight. How much Spence made? 2 million $.

Errol Spence Jr owned a show that generated over $20m in value for the US TV, nevermind the rest of the revenues that came in

Don't make yourself look dim

Bud, you should of left bob's table to begin with. That man does not support you, he supports l0m0 who is not anywhere near your level.

[Scipio2009]

Arum made a $3mil offer to Danny Garcia and wants to make the Spence fight. How is Arum hurting him and Haymon not hurting him?

Because Arum offered Danny Garcia $3m, yet offered Khan $5m and everybody knows it.

And let's not act like Arum wanting a 50/50 share for the Spence fight, knowing that Crawford may have sold 100k PPVs and that Spence has already had 2 300k+ PPV buys events (with at least another 3 fights that would top 300k as well, already in hand).

Bud is the number 1 Welter and everybody at the PBC knows Crawford walks through the PBC Welters so Bud aint getting anywhere near any of them unless he considers signing up with them. When they choose to pretend you or your belt doesnt even exist you know they ducking you hard.

NO BODY ducks top rank, nobody.

I fixed it for you fam. Remember Haymon doesn’t let any promoter *own his shows. He gives them a flat fee just like TGB and Man Down

Why U make up numbers fam? Soende has one ppv over 300k ppvs (thanks to mikey) and another one that went down to 275k buys. So Spence is trending the wrong way just like Deontay Wilder. They be selling less ppvs. Hell crawford vs a washed khan sold as much as Wilder Ortiz 2
