Comments Thread For: Crawford To Arum: "Release Me Now And You Don't Have To Lose Money No More"

[1hourRun]

I love Crawford and think he the most skilled at 147. But was turned off last year with his opponents and excuses surrounding them

Mmm, I dont know bro, I think Crawford was always hated. The fans on social media and this forum have always made bad comments about him since his days at 135, in spite the fact that he was beating the best from lightweight up to becoming undisputed at 140.

Terence Crawford is only going to be appreciated after he retires.

Crawford is 100% correct!

Bud is wasting his time with Arum! Look at the history of his company. De La Hoya one of the best ppv fighters left him, so did Mikey Garcia, Mayflowers, Marquez, Pacquiao. Crawford just leave. I can’t blame Bud for being mad at lowering his salary! Shot how much you think ESPN paid to have this fight on regular tv? Canelo got smart and dumped Oscar, so can Crawford.

Arum was the one who took him out of obscurity and gave him all the good fights in the lower weights just like Loma and pays him huge amounts for lackluster returns. I believe Arum when he says he lost a couple mill for fights like Postol, when Hbo wouldn't pay the exorbitant purse Crawford was demanding. Arum had to take it to ppv and only 50k people tuned in. Crawford and khan got paid 5.5 and 5 mill each and only 150k people watched. I have a feeling Crawford will be loyal to Arum and make the Spence fight happen. If Crawford was truly a great personality in sports people would tune in like they do for Ali Pacquiao mayweather de la hoya Mike tyson Lenox lewis hagler hearns sugar ray all the greats. He could go into the ring on Spence's next ppv and call him out in front of the world if he wanted but he acts like Spence is the one who should be the one to chase the fight, and it's just not happening because the truth is Spence is a much bigger draw than Crawford at this point, and it's because Crawford avoids media and acts timid.

It would still translate into 1 fight in almost two years.

Versus 2 fights in almost 2 years. I get that. I’d say it’s worth a shot. Maybe he gets released early and is 1 step closer to getting fights that actually matter.

Or: Maybe he still gets one more fight against a nobody under TR. Or, Maybe he gets frozen for 11 months and is off to greener pastures. I still think it’s worth speaking up for yourself and trying to break free , bs having a 89 year old ******* talk **** about you when he’s delivering ****ty fights.

In this world we have today especially with Corona the people who get the most fans pay companies to get them the most followers on all the social media platforms and every other internet media platform. It's been a couple years since I Checked Crawford's IG, but it was something pathetic like 180k followers when Spence was in the millions. It shouldn't matter if you truly love boxing, but you can't expect millions of fans to tune into your fights if you intentionally make sure they don't know you exist

Old folks know that all is forgiven in death.

They usually reach their peak in craziness and outbursts right at the 11th hour.

How about all those people who lost their job due to Covid. They took a pay cut. It affected a lot people not just crawford.

They didn't have a contract.

They also get unemployment and PPP loans.

Don't go there.

Now you're offending me.

This is an outrage!! Arum and Pacquioa ducked Crawford for last 7 years while both were promoted by Arum. Instead, Arum gave us
PAC VS JMM 4X
PAC VS BRADLEY 3X
PAC VS MORALES 2X
PAC VS BERRERRA 2X

This all while Crawford was begging for Pac fight. Now Pac nor Crawford don't have fights scheduled so lets see if fight gets made.

ahh...so crawford was begging for a pac fight in 2007 before his own professional boxing debut?
