Comments Thread For: Kell Brook: Terence Crawford Wants The Fight, Arum Does Too

[shaheed1972]

Great fight which 4 years ago Kell wins easily. The lay-off should make it closer but if brook is on he wins on points

I don't agree with u, but the main reason im replying is to bust ur balls about being a Chargers fan. LA is Rams country!!! Lol #RamsNation ��

Spence's leftover smh

Crawford and Arum smell easy money. Kell is going into old age living on the Porter fight. The only way this fight makes sense is at 154 in Sheffield, with the home town mechanisms in place.

1. It's not up to Crawford, a person doesn't have to accept the fight if Crawford's team makes an offer. He can only fight people that ACCEPTS the fight. For record he offered Danny a fight and Danny turned it down.

Like I said, he offered Danny a pittance, then turned around and offered Amir Khan the payday he should have offered Danny.

That's a duck, bro.

2.Shawn was not a draw. I don't know where you got that idea from. Errol didn't think he was a draw either. "Shawn Porter couldn't sell out a family dinner" Errol's word BEFORE he fought Porter.

Porter draws less than Spence, but Porter draws more than Crawford. Which is why when Crawford was shown at the MMA event nobody knew who he was.

Porter is all over Fox TV bro.

3. Errol was going to Danny BEFORE Danny became mandatory. Or did u forget that fight was pretty much set up to be Errol's next fight right after the Porter fight? That fight was cancelled after the accident.

No it wasn't. Manny was being lined up for Spence, not Danny. Danny was being lined up for Mikey.

4. Cut the BS about Crawford not being a draw. Spence/Crawford sells more PPV than any other fight in the Welterweight division that doesn't involve Pacquiao right now.

Yeah...because of Spence. You know, unified two belts at welter? Went across the pond, out of his comfort zone, to take his first belt (unlike Crawford)? Faced the current threat of 147 in Shawn Porter and beat him for the second belt (who Crawford ducked)? Gave Mayweather that work in sparring? Yeah that guy.

Crawford might NOT sell a lot on his own

Which is the only point that matters. He is not a DRAW!

I guarantee you this. If Spence ever faced Thurman, it would draw higher than Spence/Crawford for the casual fans.

You need to understand the business of boxing. You need to draw CASUALS. Not existing fans. Can you draw NEW MONEY?

Spence draws new money.
Danny draws Mexican new money.
Porter draws new money for people who watch Fox Sports.

Crawford - no matter what Max Kellerman says or what Bradley screams - does not.

Crawford is afraid to go overseas. He refused to face Horn in Australia - no way does he face Brook in Sheffield like Spence was brave enough to do.

He'll fight Kell Brook but not Shawn Porter? GTFO.

Crawford is wasting his prime with these shitty fights.

Amen......

1. They offered Danny 3 mil plus upside. That's a solid offer if Danny didn't like it then COUNTER. Sounds like Danny didn't want it.

2. Porter fighters hasnt drawn big numbers. He's never headlined a PPV. He isnt a draw and was expected to get ran through by Spence. So why was Spence willing unify against a non-draw in Porter but not Crawford?

3. Wrong DANNY got in the ring after the Porter fight not Manny. Spence was supposed to fight Danny in January b4 the accident.

4. When I say Crawford is not a draw it's because he hasnt had the right dance partner. Like GGG, he does pretty good rating on TV but not PPV. Again this is the biggest PPV Spence can make outside of Manny.
MMA fans not knowing Crawford means nothing. I dont know any MMA fighters except McGregor but that doesnt mean their not a draw.

I have firm understanding about the business. So, lets keep this simple big fights/events draw numbers. You have to get the diehards first and build/promote the event for the casuals. Like Fury/ Wilder did. Dont even try to say Fury was a draw because his last 2 fights b4 Wilder rematch live gate was garbage and the ratings weren't great. Also for the record casual fans are aware of the Bud/Spence fight. If they are "casual" enough to watch boxing programs to see Porter or Max then im pretty sure they are aware of one of the most talked about fights in the last few years.
