Comments Thread For: Porter: I Can Definitely See Crawford Making Move To PBC; Have A Feeling Arum Knows

[Fighter78]

Bob Arum is a promoter, Al Haymon is a advisor.

Its Bob job to promote, its not Al job to promote.

Promoters promote. Advisors dont.

Well I can't figure out whether bob is a promoter or an advisor because he's doing a $H!T job of promoting his best fighters...and that's at ESPN!....THATS A DISGRACE and I don't care how you look at it....Bob Arum SUCKS as a promoter....he may have been good 30 years ago but he certainly is a waste of skin now.

I agree with Shawn. The writing is on the wall for Bud to leave Top Rank. Arum already complaining about losing money and he isn't going to offer Bud any more per fight than what he's making now if he's already in the red. I don't think that necessarily means he's going to PBC though. He could end up with Hearn as I'm sure Eddie will have no problem paying what Crawford is making now because I'm sure he feels he can market Crawford the right way. Unfortunately, that means we won't see those fights against those at PBC

Ok...question....WHY THE HELL WOULD BUD EVEN CONSIDER MATCHROOM and Hearn? They have ZERO in the welterweight division......you actually think Goldenboy would sacrifice Vergil Ortiz to Crawford??? Lol....you people are living in a sci-fi world...LOL

He would go to Hearn for the same reason he re-upped with Arum, money. With the state of boxing right now who else would try to pay him the minimum he is currently getting for fights? I literally explained it in my post. Guess it went over your head. And where did I mention Vergil Ortiz?

That's the best option bud can do rn in terms of competition and fight selection. He just can't get it with TR... it's not hard to recognize.. look at Pac for instance and the difficulty it was to secure mayweather with the money involved and to be made. The spence fight is just not gonna happen with Bob.

However I'm worried about bud getting robbed n losing his title BECAUSE he's leaving tr.. that's assuming he does infact leave tr
I'm basing this su****ion of Pac and before he left.
Then again why would Bob do that? He's really depleted at the weight and I don't see any of his stable he can invest in as a welterweight

You can forget that notion because Bob doesn't have any welterweight that could make it to the final bell against Crawford....that WBO belt is gone BYE BYE

Bud would definitely get robbed against the winner of the Taylor/Ramirez fight.

However, Bud has been knocking out all his opponents so it will be pretty hard to rob him.

LOLOLOLOLOL....this guy thinks JOSH TAYLOR or Jose Ramirez can make it to the 10th round against Bud...much less make it to the final bell...LOLOLOLOLOL

[Fighter78]

Crawford should leave as Arum’s run out of money Tyson zfury has absolutely robbed him blind

Correct!...Now THIS IS THE GUY that's robbing Arum blind...the gypsy pauper Tyson Fury

[Fighter78]

Pac wants to cash out so anything is possible.

Lol...trust me...he's not "cashing out" on a damn Spence fight...LOL

OK...the state of boxing is NOT going to be the same when Buds contract is up. Lol...and I mentioned Vergil Ortiz because HE'S THE ONLY VIABLE OPTION IF BUD GOES TO DAZN.....literally everyone that mentions DAZN as an option has mentioned Vergil Ortiz.....you think DAZN is gonna sign Bud to a hefty deal just to have him fight cab drivers over and over?? Bud doesn't need a "minimum guarantee"...he needs to be on PPV so he can receive the MAXIMUM PAY....smh.. guess that went over your head. So if matchroom signed him what would be a reasonable offer to bud? He's already making 3.5 milly a fight....so I guess they sign him for what...4.5-5 million a fight? Lol....dazn would be fools for doing that. I guess you haven't noticed that the money well is drying up at DAZN and THEY HAVE EVEN SAID AS MUCH...which is why they've RELEASED fighters in recent months...yes they are signing some guys and gals but these folks don't carry a huge price tag.....yet another thing that went over your head I guess. But I'll tell you this...if it works out how you say then I'm FINISHED with Crawford....I won't even watch anymore of his fights because that will show me that he's interested more in money than making the huge fights that will get him the money he deserves.

LOLOLOLOLOL....this guy thinks JOSH TAYLOR or Jose Ramirez can make it to the 10th round against Bud...much less make it to the final bell...LOLOLOLOLOL

Its possible if the guy goes on survival mode for majority of the fight.

All of Buds opponents at welter so far came to fight which is why Bud was able to open and exploit KO opportunities.

But if Josh or Ramirez just go on survival mode they could possibly go the distance.

Its good to also remember that Bud is getting close to that age now where he can unexpectedly age over night as they say.

We don't even know if the Bud we saw against Brook will be the Bud that turns out in two fights time, although given that he hasn't really taken any punishment in his career, I think he will be just fine.

Let's hope and here's to wishing fights with the PBC guys happen regardless of what bud chooses.. personally I think he should leave that'll make those fights more likely
