Arum: “PBC fighters overpaid..” but Crawford makes $4mil doe

[Thuglife Nelo]

Arum wasn’t able to create high premiums nor had the luxury to a stolen GBP roster like at PBC (whom had it easy), so he could at least give Crawford a 2.5x more to compensate and not have ESPN lose Crawford. It’s part of the reason why ESPN refuses to take Crawford off P4P #1. If Errol Spence truly thought Crawford was #1 he’d take the fight since ESPN would catapult Spence’s exposure. But Spence knows Canelo is the best, another reason why he wants a bigger pay than what Crawford would produce.

Crawford is a victim of his own circumstance. You can’t hate him for getting his paygrade. ESPN set the tone and have him #1 so Bud is just playing his part.

Haymon should make a lucrative offer to Crawford, guarantee. Splits for PPV will lean to Spence.

I don't think uncle Al would even want to sign up this expensive guy at PBC.
Bud's manager/trainer Bomac is basically a scam artist.
Arum probably hasn't recovered any of his investments with this guy.
