Comments Thread For: Dana White Erupts, Tears Apart Bob Arum Over Crawford Comments

[Boxing Goat]

While he is right...STFU Dana! You disrespected MMA Legend like Randy Couture, Anderson Silva after the Demian Maia fight, he disrespected Cyborg repeatedly when she was in the UFC, Diaz Brothers, Tito Ortiz, BJ Penn and the list goes on and on

With that being said, time for Bud Crawford WAKE THE F^CK UP! Arum has drawn the Line and let you know where he stands so if he stays and Re-Signs then that is it he would be choosing to stay on that side and fight Ramirez or Taylor, Mean Machine again or whoever the hell else Arum wants to throw in front of him. Leave Arum, go sign MTK or Eddie Hearn if not PBC for all I care just get the F^ck away the promoter that feels you're not worth the Time, Money and Effort

Haven't seen a fighter get disrespected like this by his Own Promoter since Rigondeaux after he beat Donaire

You don't know shxt about it

He allowed them fighters a nice living way past their best and only ever discouraged them from fighting when it was against their best health interests.

Lol that all you t ards will defend Bob Arum, the biggest thief in boxing history other than Don King

Dana White sucking attention.

Re-watched the November 14th Fighthype interview three times.

As usual Dana White (the cheapest man on earth) took the interview completely out of context.

Terrance doesn't self promote, doesn't do interviews, it's not his style, that's a fact. The gate does not bringing in a dime and PPV's don't do nearly what they once did, that's a fact.

Business is business, what Arum said was if Terrance wanted out he would go along but nobody will be willing to pay what TR pays...also a fact.

Watch the interview, November 14th Fighthype.

I already commented on Bob's comments, and I don't like them, but Dana White?!?! you have got to be kidding me. The only reason Dana wouldn't make such comments is bc he'd only pay Crawford 300k. gtfoh. I don't even follow mma and I've heard Dana talking down on his fighters, sh it is ridiculous coming from him.

Bob was wrong for his comments period. I think, just my opinion, that it had something to do with knowing Crawford is leaving and even then that's not okay, but Bob got bitter that after all the money paid, Crawford is just going to walk away. Bob wrong, but that's why I think he made those comments, bc he's never done that before another contract negotiation. Furthermore Bob owes Crawford an apology, in person, not through the media - put context to those words and just apologize to him and you can let boxing fans know you reached out to Crawford and apologized. People say dumb things, it's okay as long as you genuinely apologize.

All promoters are mostly scummy in the end. They're like the car dealership middle man. If only the fighter could do it all himself, remove that middle man and take in every single dollar for themselves. That would be ideal but promoters have been around forever and it's the world boxing lives in with them.

Arum is a piece of crap and he pays Crawford more than anyone else is willing. Both are factual statements, both true.

Dana White starves out fighters that don't kiss his ass is also true.

Bob Arum is Terrence Crawford's promotor correct? The base word of his title is "to promote." Bob Arum you worthless piece of cow ****. How about doing the job your title entails. Promote your fighter. If you don't feel the need to be his promotor and actually do what a promotional team is supposed to do. Why don't you release him from his contract and let somebody who does their job take over

[strykr619]

At least Bob is actually paying Crawford well, can’t say Dana does the same 99.9% of his fighters.

How many fighters is bob paying at that level and how many is Dana? Average UFC fighter (not mma) makes more then an average pro boxer.

If Crawford or Lomachenko had to self promote from day one nobody would know who they were. Just sayn.

This is true. Though then how is the promoter supposed to make comments as Arum did when it's HIS job to promote the fighter then? It's like, you want to take that middle man fee but not do your job? In that situation, I know Crawford and Loma couldn't sell themselves, but they would almost be better off then if the promoter doesn't even like them.

Starves out fighters? No way.

Dana MAKES the best fight the best. Period. That's how it works. If you get offered a fight in the UFC, you take it or then you starve. It's a fighters decision. Boxing should be ran more like the UFC and a fighters whole career should not be questioned after one loss.
