Comments Thread For: Hearn: Arum's Comments Were So Disrespectful To Terence Crawford

[Oldskoolg]

i remember throughout Floyd's reign how this site was so against his antics and persona and in love with Manny who has the charima of a pet turtle. but now they want Crawford to act a damn fool to "promote" himself LoL
wtff. the guy doesn't run, he goes for the kill at all times. that should be enough promotion on his side.

Certain peoples believe that boxers of a certain ethnic group must play the “toxic kneegrow” role....they crave it, they want it, they need it

[Boxing Goat]

And that’s obviously Eddie Hearn, who’s currently almost two years into his American takeover

I don't see any reason why not. I've never seen him bad mouth a fighter like that even fighters that aren't his

[RHETOЯIC]

Crawford's not being cheated, he freely entered into a contract with someone who couldn't get him the biggest fights.

Key word in your post.

...but just as Bud freely entered in, Arum freely offered.

Why now complain about something you wrote up? Bob isn't new to this promotional thing. He should've known who would take off and who wouldn't.

It's very sad that prominent black athletes have to endure this. You know it's really bad when white promoters are offended for Crawford. First Dana White, now Eddie. The irony is that a fighter with an obvious alcohol problem who could have killed other people in his sports card driving drunk at night is more popular among my fellow black boxing fans than a respected family man like Bud. That's truly sad. It really is. What's even more sad is how current and former black fighters with a platform are deathly silent about Arum's obnoxious comments about Bud. Andre Ward and Tim Bradley are con****uously silent, which tells me that their JOBS with BSPN matter more to them than their character, integrity and manhood. The funny thing is that Bud is supposed to be his "dawg". Shouldn't you stand up for your dawg? At least a little bit? Sad all around.

That's a fact. We don't trust each other.

After one of us gets done dirty by an outsider, then one of our own people pulls an Eddie Hearn move.. playing for position and exploiting vulnerability.

Correct. If there's one thing our people are good at, it's piling on when one of us are down or trying to take them out completely.

Sad, but true in most cases.

[MeanestNiceGuy]

Rig. and Walters.

Yep. You hate to see it but it happens.

You are an idiot. Look at the past 7 years. Wilder vs Fury is the exception to the rule. Wilder had to eventually fight a named fighter he had been costing on nobodies for years. The vast majority of PBC fighters will not fight anyone outside of PBC. As for your other question. Just look at the past 100 years of boxing and you will see overwhelming evidence of everyone fighting everyone no matter who promoted who. This all came to a stop when Haymon took all of Golden Boys fighters and his attitude spread and forced some promoters to act in kind to protect their interests. Yes, there is a fight here and there of PBC fighting someone else, but everyone knows it is not the norm. Hell, it goes beyond that. Haymon does not even get the vast majority of his stable regular fights. He is a cancer plus he is the worst promoter in the history of the sport. His huge failure where he wasted almost half a billion $ to try and monopolize tv and boxing has to be the single biggest promotional failure in the long history of boxing. He brings the attitude of his corporate, banking, Harvard business that all the competition should be crushed because having a monopoly is a good thing for him, but not for the sport.

Those fighters you named left him because that is what big stars do. They eventually become so big they do not need a promoter anymore. Oscar led the way followed by Floyd and others.

No. You are an idiot who picks and chooses when something is right or wrong on a whim. Arum has been a scumbag for a long time. He’s been making in house fights only for a very long time. How many fighters not signed to Top Rank got a chance to fight Pacquiao after he beat Oscar and Hatton ? How many ? But that’s Al Haymons fault too. No golden boy fighters either, but that’s Al Haymons fault too. Shane wasn’t with Haymon. But Shane had to leave GBP to get that fight. Miss me with the **** riding BS. If Bob can’t make good fights for Bud, so be it. That’s on him. Don’t blame the other promotional company, and for damn sure don’t blame your own fighter. **** Bob Arum for these comments. And **** you, personally for talking ****. I don’t get why people can’t simply talk boxing without being disrespectful and calling people out of their names. **** you. Idiot. I said a comment was BS. I didn’t disrespect you. Get Bob Arums 90 year old nuts off your chin. *****

[Drew Bundini Br]

Put Bud in with Pacquiao asap! That would give him global appeal, especially if he beats him. Arum was supposed to do that 5 yrs ago and now he's paying the price.

[MeanestNiceGuy]

Yup. MexiCANS are just as bad if not worse. Look at the hate Canelo gets from MexiCAN fighters....

Damn, that sucks.

I'm glad you mentioned this. I don't want to come off as ignorant and think it only happens in the black community.

Preciate that!

Then you aren't looking very hard lmfao
