    Crawford then goes on a monthly rant refusing to take a cut and refusing to fight without fans for the LONGEST time.

    Keef steps up after his loss and says send a contract.

    Next thing we know, BoMac is running to Twitter talking about a $10 million ask from Keef.

    Fast forward and we find out that Crawford asked Manny for $10 million and tanked that fight.

    So while BoMac was whining about $10 million, he was using the Chewbacca Defense while his fighter was off making the same ask without deserving it.

    Crawford gets denied (rightfully), then books a fight with a severely damaged Kell Brook - AFTER his manager goes on record saying this:




    Notice that the hosts call out BoMac because they signed to fight Kavaliauskas despite BoMac going on record saying this beforehand:

      Meanwhile you got Crawford STILL chasing Manny. So all he wants is the check against an old fighter.

      This is hallmark. If they did fight and Manny beat him - which I suspect he does - you'd hear all kinds of excuses just like Keef eventually did. If he beat Manny it does nothing for his profile.


      Meanwhile, Porter's been waiting, Ugas asked, been waiting, Danny got lowballed, and they refused to negotiate with Keef.

      Now Arum saying they could have booked Porter but Crawford doesn't want it.

      That's ducking.

        This fight isnt happening for the same reason we didn't get Cotto-Berto. Berto was making $1mil a fight against Freddy Hernandez, didnt think it was worth it to fight Miguel Cotto for $2mil.

        Same thing here. What are the purses going to be? 2mil each+upside? 3mil? He's making that right now against patsies.

            Kell Brook was a wounded duck.

            Crawford has been on record after the win saying that he puts him in the same category that he puts a Amir Khan in (the same Amir, who quit)

            Just to be clear, when you say "Keef", you're referring to "One Time", right?

            Guys want to fight Pacquiao for the same reason they want to fight Mayweather.

            To beat them and absorb some of their fans. I mean, why not? It ain't like the fans that they built up are going to do them any good in retirement.

            I gotta disagree with Danny Garcia being lowballed. Since Danny came to 147lbs., he lost every big fight that he was in.


            Why fight a Ugas when you can fight a Mean Machine? That means, both are equally unknown.


            Remember when I said about crossing the street... if the goal is to only cross the streets to go get the belts that are there, you don't waste your time with guys who do not have belts.

            You can get those from the fighter stable of the promotional company you're signed to.

              Bold - you can't be serious.

              Ugas was FRESH OFF what was arguably a close, but clear win over Shawn Porter and a performance that nobody saw coming.

              Second, Ugas beat Crawford in the amateurs. You tell that story and use it to build the fight - it's a quest for revenge. Same with Swift.

              But decisively smashing Ugas would have put the entire PBC on notice had Crawford taken that fight.

                Mayweather worded it best back in the days when he asked why he would fight a fighter who still had problems with another fighter...

                  Bold: This is a joke because Crawford knows you don't get handled title shots, you earn them by beating solid opponents. Which he hasn't done yet.

                  Hell, even 'Man Bun' Formella did better with a solid win over a solid contender in Mbenge. And got rewarded with a title shot as a result.

                    This is your problem - equating Mayweather who fought top world champions - multiple of them - vs Crawford who has not at 147.

                    CRAWFORD HAS NOT EARNED IT YET. HE HAS TO BEAT TOP, PRIME, UNDAMAGED OPPOSITION TO EARN IT!

                    Bob MF'n Arum himself has said it now, not just here but in the interview he cut before the Brook fight.


                    When your own promoter says you aren't doing enough, you're not!

                      I can't argue with Ugas getting robbed against Showtime Shawn..

                      That's the first time I saw Showtime look like the physically weaker man in the ring. Ugas is as strong as an ox.

                      You make an excellent argument. Storyline fights can work, but the only problem is... they usually take place with two fighters under the same promotional company (trust me, I hate the politics as much as you do)

                      But remember Shakur & Joet... you think you can get a storyline fight when the two fighters have two different promoters?
