    Haymon fighters aren’t whining/complaining. This is about Crawford whining that he can’t get fights pbc when he knew that would be the result of signing with TR. This is all on him, not Haymon/pbc.
    So why cant Crawford fight any PBC fighters? It seems to me the PBC wont allow their more profitable fighters to fight on other networks but at the same time they are refusing to offer the same or better pay to host those fights on their own.

    So the PBC wont make any offers cuz they know Top Rank or DAZN would counter with a better one and they wont concede to this and allow their star fighters to take the better financial offer and chances at world titles, unifications or undisputed. So in short they are blocking the big fights and you wonder why as a Boxing fan it pisses me off that they are doing this?

    I understand there is a war going on with the business side of this but im not in it for the business im in it for the Boxing and seeing as its quite clear what is going on right now im going to talk about it in a negative way. Yes Bob Arum has done it before, hes a scumbag too, Yes King before Bob, Scumbag. But RIGHT NOW the PBC are blocking a high number of real quality fights over a number of divisions and its crap for the sport.

        Well, we now know that Crawford understands the situation is a business decision. His business decision was to sign with Top Rank so he is where he is because of it.

          Fight who is available. Beat Kavaliauskas, Bes*****, Akbukakhorov, maybe even old Collazo. Go GGG route.

            Too many spoons...

            This is why boxing is such a sham...way too many spoons in this pot... there should be one belt for each weight... one organization... but since Don King and Bob Arum got into this way back, now this can't be broken... the fighters suffer and the fans don't get to see the best matchups like Crawford vs Spence... shameful

                  There is something Crawford can do. Buy out his contract with Arum like Mayweather did. Without knowing the details of his contract, there is usually and “escape” clause in there somewhere.

                    You’re whining about a player instead of the game, and this is the script for blacks in America. Whites create the game, the playing field, make all the rules, but as soon as blacks learn the game and how to play it to their benefit then all of a sudden “it’s not fair”. If you’ve got a problem with how boxing is run then you’ve had this same problem for your entire lifetime.
                    Save all the fake self righteous “I’m just a fan who wants the best fights” ***** because it’s not moving anyone.

                      T Crawford not interested in joining PBC boys "WW" club...he's in a class of his own and the boys with PBC understand this!
