Comments Thread For: Arum: Even If Crawford & Porter Want It, How In The Hell Do You Afford The Fight?

[R.KHLMS4LIFE]

In other words bob is saying either crawford cant sale or crawford vs porter offers to high risk low reward. If it cant sale though its a fight alot of people want to see put it on public television like espn or fox increase crawford exposure drastically then after that if crawford wins let em do ppv. Or put a nice co main event or better yet make it a co main event pay to lomanchanko vs davis pay crawford davis lomachanko 5m plus upside porter 2.5m

Fighters are going to have to realize they might have to take a pay cut too. 20% unemployment rate, tons of lay offs, tons of small businesses closing.

They should be happy to still have work and still make millions of ***ing dollars.

The guy at the auto parts store yesterday was super happy just to have a customer and make a $15 sale to me, why cant elite pro boxers be happy to make a million dollar fight deal.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Sad story of this Crawford career where he missed so many important fights while at his peak. Coz of Arum, his greatness potential has been limited and will go forward very slow until he left Arum...

What's biased about it? It's the PBC side of the street that want this fight. It's thier none champ getting a crack at a world title. Make an offer.
Better still, let's get the PBC champs out to play. Let's get some UNIFICATION taking place.
What is it that the PBC hate about unifying belts?

Boxing FANS are the ones calling for the fight. According to you PBC has been happy ignoring Bud. LoL @ trying to inject your biased "unification" whine into this conversation. I like Crawford a lot and his chances against anyone ... but it's a very pertinent question: Can Crawford beat Porter? If not, maybe there's no need for a unification fight.

Then there is the fact that Spence and Thurman managed to win vs. Porter. No crying, Bud needs to man up and take the Porter fight. Everything else will be easy if he can win.

I would rather see Ugas get the fight with Crawford. He beat Porter, dropped Porter, punches harder, and is a much better technical boxer. He also wont pretend like he is a PPV worthy fighter like Danny and Porter so the fight can realistically be made.

So you are saying even though Bud is already a champion you feel he needs to prove himself by beating Shawn Porter before it's acceptable to let him fight the other champions?

Cool. Then why don't Porter and the PBC make an offer? They pushing for this more than Crawford is so come in with an offer. No good just standing there with their hands out waiting. Be proactive. Put an offer together. What they waiting for?

Is Porter being B-side willing to cross the street and fight on ESPN or what?
Why tf is this question not being asked by the media?
Surely, this fight is not as big as to merit a joint-promotional
agreement, especially during this pandemic age.

Porter like Danny Garcia thinks his value is worth more than it is. He will ask for a kings ransom from Crawford and if he doesn't get it he will be on Fox Sports One fighting Josesito Lopez in an empty arena for 1/3 of what he would have made fighting Crawford(Just like his fights with Ugas and Granados). Swap out the name Porter for Danny and the same holds true.

These people in the media are acting as if things are normal as being
able to make fights easily between competing networks/promoters.
It's never been/will never be easy even before or after the pandemic.

Hellooooo!!! Porter is with PBC/Haymon and Crawford is with TR/Arum.
You people make it sound as if it's only a question whether these fighters
want to fight each other.
