Comments Thread For: Spence: Crawford, Pacquiao Got One Person To Talk To - Al Haymon!

[Oldskoolg]

Uh oh, he went and upset the alt right by mentioning Al Haymon!

[Curtis2]

I remember when danny (lost) was gifted the fight vs Maurice Herrera....

That was called Puerto Rican home cooking, most feel Lamont Peterson beat Danny also....

Danny Garcia would have been a good opponent for Crawford. But you say he priced himself out.

Then what about Yordenis Ugas who would have been happy to take B-side money against Crawford and wouldn't have asked for too much? All we hear is that he is too high risk/low reward.

The fact is that Crawford and Top Rank always find a reason to not fight good opponents that are interested in fighting him.

It's simple: Arum and Haymon just don't wanna work together.

If Crawford really wants the Spence fight he needs to force his way away from Top Rank. Why wouldn’t they release him since Arum says he’s losing money promoting him? Should be an easy split.

What a bìtch hing to say. Aren't you your own boss? Don't you make your own decisions?

That's why nobody will remember him.

[SimpleTouchee]

Yawn........................................more pointless money talk, why they can't just surprised the fight fans with an date next year Spence vs Crawford I just want to see leather get thrown. I bet Spence fights Kudratillo Abduqaxorov next his IBF mando and then Spence fights Thurman on ppv in 2021.

[El_Mero]

Yet, Spence wont talk to his own boss....smfh. im sure he'll beat Danny, BUT, im hoping for the upset cause Danny will fight anyone, including Crawford.

I thought the same thing about the "I am my own promoter. I dont answer to anyone. ".....now about the danny "Tropical Mexican" garcia deal, you should be aware that garcia priced (ducked) himself out against Bud....

U still believe that TR bs? TR made an offer to Danny's dad after Danny had a fight signed and was about to ve announced. it was all bs from TR to justify Crawford s next opponent

[Oldskoolg]

It has occurred to me that some of you are simpletons that don’t know what being ones own promoter means. Is a promoter a matchmaker? Is a promoter a legal team that draws up contracts? Is the promoter an advisor or manager who knows all the angles and who’s job it is to get the best deal for his client? No. Being ones own promoter means you no longer have to pay someone 25-30% of your money that’s rightfully yours. It means you and your own promotional company (always run by a CEO) deals with finding the venue and makes the deals with vendors and therefore gets to keep more of the backend money that comes from sales of food, alcohol, merch, etc etc. It’s precisely why PBC fighters make more money than fighters with promotional deals who are forking over 25% of their purse, paying the taxes for the promoter, and allowing the promoter to make all the money from the backend.

It's simple: Arum and Haymon just don't wanna work together.

Thats not exactly true.

Haymon was willing to let Shawn Porter, Keith Thurman, and Yordenis Ugas fight Crawford.
