    I watched ESPN's Blood, Sweat, & Tears and thought to myself

    ESPN and Top Rank has never invested this much into a Crawford fight. Not his undisputed unification with Indongo. Not his Welterweight title fight against Horn. Not even his PPV fight against Khan.

    We're 5 1/2 weeks away from his fight against Kell Brook and still no official announcement.

    With Mike Coppinger mentioning Crawford is upset with Top Rank I think the writing is on the wall for Crawford and Top Rank. Top Rank doesn't see him as a commodity worth investing in and are biding their time to cash out against Spence to recoup their loses.

    Took him this long to see it. Been saying since Loma Linares that Top Rank hasnt pushed enough of Crawford to the casuals. He's got a way with words and is a great fighter. He can also pack an arena with the right push.

          Don't know why you're waiting on me if you want the answer. I don't even know what fight on fs1 you're talking about.

            A resounding success.

              For all he has accomplished he is after all 33 now.
              Doubt a guy like crawford has long left.

                Crawford has never faced another guy with a following except Kahn, and by then he was a spent force in the eyes of that following. Obviously. Horn was probably the biggest boxer Crawford has faced.

                Hoping this promo gets uploaded to youtube so I can watch it.

                  I'd rather see him part ways with Arum, see if PBC fighters would still
                  find excuse not to fight him.
                  Been waiting for Bud to not re-sign.
                  Seems he likes the idea of being accorded special protection
                  from the Bobfather, who made him a rich person beyond his wildest dreams.
                  I don't even think he will ever venture out until he retires.

                    Question is what makes Crawford re-sign 2 year contracts with Bob
                    again and again and again?
                    No one is forcing him to. And I thought his contract expires this year.
