The industry knows the truth. It's one of those poorly kept secrets.

Bob Arum told Ak and Barak it’s “very difficult to understand what Ryan Garcia is complaining about.” Garcia’s advisor, Guadalupe Valencia, fires back:

“He should worry about getting Crawford a decent opponent and paying Teofimo a fair purse and stop worrying about Garcia.”

Not too decent or Crawford might lose. He is going down hill judging by his most recent fights and is not as good as he once was in my opinion.

Well, if history is any indicator, Bob Arum is likely going to try to put him in there with an 'eye test' here soon - like Josh Taylor.

If I were advising Crawford - well, first I'd tell him that BoMac is banned from giving interviews, shut up and do pad work - but second, I would tell him to go back to 140 and fight the guys there. 147 isn't what it used to be.
