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

[Bandman]

i remember throughout Floyd's reign how this site was so against his antics and persona and in love with Manny who has the charisma 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.

Built up Floyd how?? By making him live De La Hoya's shadow?

Do me a favor, don't do me no favors...

Saved Floyd’s life too.

Arum is a promoter for non-black fighters

...and a demoter for black fighters.

It unfortunately does seem so lately and that’s a big reason HBO lost relevance. They thought going with Eastern European fighters was better and look what happened

Black fighters should be promoted by black promoters. It is easier to get the two on the same page in creating a star.

Black entertainers all around need to stop letting ***ish people own them.

I love ***ish people, but they should own their own.

We should own our own.

You sound like Don King trying to lure Zab away from Arum. Zab regrets it to this day

Like prime Golovkin, Crawford has the talent to be fighting in football stadiums. But the big marquee opponents just don't want to get in the ring with him.

If Haymon controlled Frazier and Foreman and Liston, Ali would have never got those fights. Those fights were what made Ali. So Crawford is being cheated out of his Frazier and Foreman fights. Not much he can do. Arum has to work harder to overcompensate for Crawford being cheated by the sport.

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

Cant disagree with this. Every group prefers to do business within their ethnic group. Black Americans absolutely should be doing what we ***s learned we had to do millennia ago

Hearn isn't my favorite person but he's 1000% correct here.

I hope Bud gets on board with a promoter who will make him a real star outside of Omaha.

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

[Oldskoolg]

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.

It’s just self hatred and it takes several centuries for that to work itself out of a people’s psyche who have been broken down and made to adopt a lower class by another dominant group. It’s pure social psychology. However, the only way out is through....

You sound dumb. You better check Spence's numbers who's already sold out Dallas Stadium and headlined ppv. YDKSAB

He’s falling back on that “black fighters arnt popular” malarkey that Mexican American fans love to push. Spence has the highest ratings in boxing since DLH fought on free tv and he sold 40k+ tickets in Dallas when Canelo was only able to sell 30k in Houston. And let’s not even get started on how well Crawford did on his ratings last weekend and his Omaha ticket sales.
It’s just pure disguised racism

The PROMOTER is mad the fighter isn't doing more to promote himself? Talk about a ****bag. Do your ****ing job and get Crawford some good fights.
