    If Thurman is 'too expensive', there's no way they're getting Manny. Not when Haymon makes way more money booking him against Mikey or a Thurman rematch.

      I like the fight but rather c Bud against a pbc top ww (not 34 yr old brook)he's getting too long in the tooth not to. I like brook's style if he brings what he brought in ggg/spence fight could be fight of the year .

        It was probably said here already but I’m not sure what is happening with Crawford. Are people ducking him or is he ducking people. We know Arum declined Thurman supposedly because he asked for too much money. And I guess Kell Brook is the only other viable option at Welterweight. It’s really sad that we couldn’t see Crawford in with García, Porter, Thurman, Manny, & Spence. He seems like the odd man out. Leave Arum when contract is up, go to PBC.

              thurman is not too expensive he's simply not worth the 10 million. gaymon has no say in what manny does he promotes himself he just fights on pbc and I think that deal has already expired. pac is basically a free agent.

                Top Rank is one of the smartest matchmakers in boxing.
                They very rarely put their fighters in fights where they wont win, and will usually look good in doing so.

                But even there there are still levels.

                Four things happen:
                A) they fight good opponents and look like crap.
                B)they fight a good opponent and blow them away.
                C) they fight crap opponents and style on them.


                and then there is
                D) they fight bums and look like crap.

                ie: Option Crawford

                TR would know better than anyone his level and boy do they show it.

                Bob loves to brag when his fighters can destroy expectations.

                    I call it like I see it. Crawford is content with fighting mediocre competition until he can get the Spence fight. Brook hasn't fought at 147 since being stop by Spence in 2017.
