        ****blocking a guy from fighting the other champions and pretending he doesn't exist isn't the way to entice someone to sign with your company. PBC let Ruiz Joshua but first they blocked Ortiz and Kownacki. Difficult or not, every other promoter works with Top Rank on a regular basis. They have dozens of fighters which are co-promoted by someone else (Fury, Stevenson, Ancajas, Frampton, Navarrete, Berchelt). Every other promoter and manager has chosen Top Rank over PBC to sign their fighters. There is nothing preventing Crawford from fighting a PBC fighter. PBC doesn't want to make the best fights possible. They want to create a walled garden with their own titles and keep everything in-house.

          Negative. Arum recipe is to have his fighter fight a bunch of second tier fighters either in house or whoever takes the small purse that he offers. Then he will plan the big fight trying to milk it for all it has.

          Once Pac put Arum to the side the Floyd fight got made. He has done this with all of his super star fighters. By now they should have had a credible WW name in Crawford's resume.

          Boxing is the theater of the unknown. Hence look at AJ vs Ruiz I

            but yall said arum will only co-promote if he knows his fighter will win. and that's why he kept pac away from floyd until he couldnt milk manny anymore. so you telling me it's different with crawford now?

              This isn't the case. When Crawford was perceived to be the bigger earner, Bob said there wouldn't be a fight unless it was a PPV. Then Crawford did the khan PPV and it bombed. Spence fought Mikey and it outsold Crawford/Khan by over 125,000 units.

              That isn't PBC walling Crawford out that is Arum blocking the fight when he had the bigger earner then being forced to change his stance when it became clear that the bigger earner was on PBC.

              Maybe Crawford made a mistake in re-signing with TR. If you are in Crawford's camp you maybe should've considered other options that would allow you to get the fights you want.

                Neither side have sent any offers for any fight between Crawford and the pbc big boys at welter.

                But at the same time we have Crawford saying he wants to fight them all and then we have them all saying they are putting Crawford to the back of the queue.

                  Because PBC refuses to acknowledge the WBO as a sanctioning body in order to avoid matching their fighters against Crawford. Notice how Danny, Porter, Thurman never talked about Crawford. Spence was pricing himself out before talks even began.

                    Crawford-Spence only makes sense if it was PPV. I don't see what's wrong with Arum's statement. Having two PPVs with mediocre buyrates doesn't make Spence an overwhelming A-side. Crawford is still by far the most recognizable and most accomplished fighter Spence would have fought. He wasn't even the overwhelming A-side against Mikey and Porter. Both those guys got paid close to what Spence got.

                    Crawford is a free man. He shouldn't have to be strong armed into signing with PBC. Disrespecting and diminishing Crawford isn't the best way to show you're interested in signing him.

                      WHAT Crawford Fans? That is not saying Bud don't have Fans, he does and I'm one of them but These Idiots are NOT Crawford Fans, what they do is USE Crawford for their Anti PBC Narratives but they really don't give a F#CK about him either

                      All BUD can do for now is just destroy what they put in front of him, no need to complain about it he have a easier path and he will be paid greatly to beat on guys like Mean Machine, Bes*****, Jose Ramirez and all these other guys I don't even give a punchers chance at beating BUD

                      Play the Cards you are Dealt and when you can and when his deal is up, maybe later he can become a Free Agent and Broker and deal without a Promoter to make those fights the Fans want. Fighters gotta stop listening to these Internet Fans who troll their Comment Section on Instagram
