Comments Thread For: Terence Crawford: 'I Don't Know; We Shall See' If Brook Fight Is Last With Top Rank

If he smart he would tell Arum he leaving but guarantee he will come back since Arum pays really good. So they can part ways on good terms.

It would be so funny if he leaves then go on a warpath destroying everyone at 147.

I always liked TC and feel like he the most skilled fighter at 147, but his resume is trash.

——————

He keeps talking about he doesn’t feel like he needs Spence to enhance his legacy. Also says he’s accomplished everything in this sport.

Those statements define Bud’s mindset - even if he were to leave TR, he’s not about to chase Spence or Porter. Those are the only fights fans care about and he knows it that’s why he keeps regurgitating the shït he keeps saying.

Mark my words, Crawford will only fight Spence if that fight is forced upon him by fans.

Him and PAC are sadly a waste of talent. So many fights could have been made

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.

No, only ESPN.

Tnx! I thought Goebbels, I mean, Murdock only kept Fox Crap.

I don't think PBC can afford this greedy guy.
$3 million per fight regardless of who he fights,
with or without pandemic.

He'll stick with his grandpa Arum, mark my word.

As a guy who defended Crawford often until recently, PLEASE bolt for PBC. Say what you want about Al, but he takes care of his fighters. If Crawford wants to get paid and fight the top three-four names in the next 2 years as long as he wins and is willing to jump ship to make it happen, we will see those fights.

Resign with Top Rank, and you are obviously taking a dive on your legacy for the cash and club level fighters.

Both guy in tremendous shape. gonna be a good fight. Both very skilled Crawford the more versatile one faster hands faster feet although he likes to go wild sometimes but that makes a exciting fight, Crawford has a decent boxing iq he can be hit can be reckless coming in face first sometimes leave his chin in the air and swings wild sometimes but he’d gets off the line after he got hit a few times good footwork fe the kavliaoskas fight. but he never fought anybody as big and powerful as brook, if kavliaoskas can counter him brook can. Although Crawford seems to have a decent chin, I don’t think he can take serval clean shots from brook like he took from kavaliaoskas ,he’d have to adjust quickly, Would love to see how it goes.

Who is left to fight on the Top Rank side of fence? Wish boxing was free-to-air like 'many moons ago'.

[theface07]

I guarantee that Crawford re-signs with Top Rank.

Stop acting like you're some sort of insider. You can't guarantee ****.

[theface07]

Watch the pro PBC fangirls that hated 'Bud' for fighting for Bob Arum, ****-ride the P4P for joining Al Haymon.

I thought you were a PBC fangirl.

The fact that there hasn't been an extension already in place AND that Arum is talking about a Brook-Pacman fight tells me Crawford this is probably Bud's last TR fight...and Arum is well aware so he's trying to hold the Pac fight over his head (desperation attempt)

[Bronx23]

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

Yea that fight wasn’t gonna happen I appreciate your optimism though
