Comments Thread For: Crawford: We'll Get Top Rank Feud Figured Out, I Can't Bash Bob Arum - He's Tried Everything

[Combat Talk Radio]

"I'm not the kind of person to put my business in the streets" .... and then proceeds to do just that.

The thing is, Crawford is all bark.

This guy basically said he won't bash his promoter despite his promoter telling the truth and bashing him publicly.

Instead, he'll defend Arum to the death and say "he tried" - he didn't try for YOU.

Here's the thing. I don't think it's Arum. I don't think it's Crawford.

I think it's BoMac.

I firmly believe BoMac is the main reason fights aren't getting done correctly.

Why else would Spence have that out there as his only condition?

Spence must have talked to Swift and Thurman and got the scoop and was like nope, this dude's not in it.


So the smart thing is to get rid of BoMac as far as negotiating. Crawford won't do that - he said it. Then he won't get the fights because I said it before: Al Haymon is not going to put up with that BS, either.

You might want to take a look at Fury's numbers for Shwartz and Wallin.

Gate of $999,722.50 for Wallin.

Crawford pulled less than that for Kavaliauskas.

Now, since you know what the deal is, how about we match the LARGEST against the LARGEST, shall we?

Compare numbers for Tyson Fury vs. Wilder 2 against Crawford vs. Kell Brook and come back to me.

[Floyd is TBE]

Crawford went right back to kissing Bob's ass once he remembered he's still under contract with him for another year.

They're all dumpster belts. Its the champ that makes the belt. Why is the WBO Welterweight title a garbage belt now when two champs ago Pacquao had it?

The WBO has always been a dumpster belt. It wasn't truly acknowledged by all organizations until '07. Pac-Man made the belt, the belt didn't make him.

Aren't they all though?

They are, but the WBO is the Khole Kardashian of belts.

It was recognized in 2004. Basically right after Oscar won it from Sturm. So technically Oscar made the belt.

I meant recognized by all organizations, but you kinda said what I'm trying to get at which is the WBO belt has known to be a waste of time unless its held by a former, well-known champ. De la Hoya would've still been a legend if he never won that belt, and the same can be said for Pac-Man. Nobody becomes a legend by winning the WBO belt. Alot of people have dumped it shortly after winning it.

They gain recognition when the other orgs decide to recognize it. That’s all. Had nothing to do with Oscar; I think they made the decision to do it right before the Sturm/Oscar fight when sturm was champ. The other two recognized them earlier and were waiting on the WBC to make it official

I think you're misunderstanding what I'm trying to say, but it's no big deal.
