[j.razor]

But it wasn’t signed. They could have went a different direction

But the fight was already in negotiations UNTIL bob came along

Crawford the truth u don't sell PVP so BOB asking for to much to make the fight happen with Spence

[UNBANNED]

You fakes are too easy to spot. Mall was Pvssy-g's mandatory AND Nelo's & neither of them want Mall, Jacobs ducked Mall to fight Chavez jr at 168

Jacobs ducked "Mall"?

You cant even make this stuff up.

pacquiao fight that could help crawford greatly=bob didnt do it...wouldnt do it

haymon got pac for thurman and possibly spence....thats a major boo boo on bobs part

if bob has the pbc roster of WWs and crawford was with haymon BOB WOULD DO THE EXACT SAME THING....in fact he tried to hurt haymon and wilder by avoiding the immediate rematch....

i like bud...but he knew what he was getting into....i dont think hes losing sleep as hes still getting paid......i like jermall charlo....but his lack of big fights is on him and his people....not anyone else...and i dont try to place blame on someone else for it...its solely on them.....and its solely on bud and arum in this situation.....

[Gary Coleman]

He couldn't even get Pac when they were under the same banner, yet you re-upped with Bob anyway.

Have fun wasting away your career. Hey, what's Provodnikov up to these days?

[Scipio2009]

At least he's expressing frustration.
Jermall Charlo is just happy fighting cans.

Jermall Charlo understands the play, and believes in the play.

Handle business in the ring, let fight fans know that you've got that dog in you, be personable with the press, build the roots in your city.

Time is time, but he sells well at home, sells well in Brooklyn, is now set for a nice fight with the Korobov-EubankJr for 2020, and he's the 1A option for the presumptive May date with Canelo (since no one has stood out, Andrade hasn't gotten another chance to not stink out, and Alvarez still wants nothing to do with Golovkin)

[Scipio2009]

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

Al Haymon is likely the most fighter-friendly manager to ever grace the sport.

The pot was what the pot was, but let's not act like Haymon walked away with half the take.

Bills got covered, promoters got paid for their work, the purses for the card were covered, and anything that was left went to the fighter who "owned" the show, with Haymon taking his 10%-15% (while also getting his piece from every other fighter on the bill earning above the assumed $250k purse threshold).

Errol Spence Jr made far more money than you want to acknowledge, because he gets a piece of everything, and his manager/advisor makes sure he gets a piece of everything.

Can't say the same for Crawford

[Scipio2009]

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

Did Amir Khan not get $5m to fight Terence Crawford? Was the offer to Danny Garcia not $3m for the very same fight date?

What's been made up?

Spence-Danny and Spence-Pacquiao are both PPV matchups that will make money, and you have Spence-Thurman there (assuming Keith gets a couple wins back) too.

5 PPV events that all likely make money, and you're basically at the point that Spence-TBA is a PPV matchup that makes money, lol.

All while Crawford missed so bad on his second try at PPV, that Bob Arum seemingly has no plans on ever trying again with Crawford, with open talk of taking Crawford out of the country for the right site fee, lol.

[Scipio2009]

He saw the writing, he just doesn't want to bite the hand that feeds him.

Then do like Cotto did; fight out the end of your deal, and then work in partnership with Top Rank.

Risky in not having that guaranteed money, buy you work with the folks you want to work with, but also have the freedom to do what you have to do to close the deal you want?
