      I dont understand what you are trying to convey

          Aren't FOX and ESPN both owned by Disney?

            If Crawford does not leave Arum he is a pure coward who does NOT want to fight good opponents.

              If you’ve been paying attention, he’s been dropping hints for a little while.- his refusal to take pay cuts that Bob said must happen, the opposition he wants next (none of which are on TR). He’s leaving after this fight. He wants to go for undisputed and then retire. - He said it in his interview with fighthub.

              There’s no way he can get Manny AND Errol in cross promo fights. He’d be lucky to land one and with this pandemic i highly doubt we’ll see another joint network fight in the near future.

              At this point, Buds becoming too expensive for Bob. He doesn’t have the opponents to generate or justify the type of money Bud is demanding going forward. Just like Bob could no longer guarantee Manny $10mill minimums & then Manny went to PBC and got two back to back.

              TR did a good job with Bud it’s time for him to move on. Leaving now gives him the best chance of accomplishing his goal
              Did you even read the article?
              Crawford vs Manny Pac is a Cross promo fight that was supposed to happen.
              But the Covid pandemic helped put it on hold

                No.

                Disney bought 20th Century Fox from Fox Corporation. Basically they were buying media properties from Fox. A library of films, TV shows, as well as a bunch of TV and film studios.

                They also bought a bunch of sports networks which then had to be sold on to third parties for competitiion law reasons, as agreed with the DoJ.

                Separate to all of this is the main Fox Network which was not part of the deal. Consider this 'new Fox' -- a network that has to buy all its media, as it has already sold all on all its production facilities.

                    Brook fight is a 50 -50 in my opinion ..If Crawford does get passed that fight he fights the wbo middleweight champ Texeria he stays with top rank for several more years I believe...2 belts 2 division champ...LoL for some reason I think we dont get a spence fight I have a feeling we see Crawford and Thurman

                      If im Haymon ok not making Spence fight if Crawford is with top rank. Arum can't be trusted after that stunt he pulled with the wilder trilogy
