Comments Thread For: Thurman To Arum: Stop Talking Sh-t! Not My Fault You Can't Afford Fight For Crawford

[Bronx2245]

while i agree...im not sure i agree hes at gatekeeper status yet...hes lost one fight lol....even if he sc****d by lopez...that was almost 2 years out of the ring off an injury....he lost to pac but it was entertaining and close.....its not like he got blown out or knocked out....yeah pac is old...its still hard to tell just how good pac is right now....but i dunno the term "Gatekeeper" is harsh....hes 32 with one loss...id have to see another loss or two before he gets to that status

guys put stock often too much into recent performances....everyone was down on teo after fighting nakatani....then hed ko'd commey but they still thought "loma is going give him a lesson and make him regret this"......tank was garbage after taking awhile to beat gamboa despite having little trouble in the fight(yes i know gamboa was injured)...but haney couldnt stop him...im just not ready to write keith off

Keith needs to MAN UP and fight Yordenis Ugas! I'd give him mad props if he fought Boots Ennis or Regis Prograis! I'm glad Spence Jr. is freezing him out too!

Like I said, they can always offer Bud a deal and put it on PPV at PBC/FOX. Stop looking for handouts, especially when you haven’t done anything for years.

now we all know it was arum who dodn't want crawford to fight pac.

He’s not making fights, and that’s the whole point. He couldn’t get Wilder vs Joshua done, Tank vs Lomachenko, Spence vs Crawford, Charlo/plant vs Canelo, the only fights that he makes are those where his fighter’s have the odds stacked towards them with everything to gain and very little if anything to lose.

Well he isn’t making fights that we asked for. He is making showcase fights after showcase fights. And honestly everyone is making fights.

We wanted Crawford/Spence we got Spence/Mikey, we wanted Wilder/AJ we got Wilder/Fury off the couch. We wanted Charlo/Hurd we ended up with Charlo/Harrison and Hurd/Williams, we wanted Charlo/Andrade we ended up with something else, we wanted Tank/Loma/Farmer we ended up with lower weight guys being moved up for tank to feast on....

This is what PBC have turned to from how great they were in the beginning.

Bum behavior..

i dont understand the hate for thurman...he gets alot of it..im not like a big fan of his...or even a fan to be honest....but hes fought shawn, danny and pac...and has had almost 2 years off from an injury...i get that its frustrating that he took two years off and hasnt done more....but i def dont think he wants garbage fights anymore....

ugas fight could happen but i think spence is getting first dibs on that if he cant get something bigger like pac....honestly if thurman/spence got made next i wouldnt be mad...you would? why are you glad hes freezing him out? i dunno...if they signed to fight id watch

i like boots alot...but hes honestly going to have to beat a guy thats a level better than his latest opposition before a guy like thurman is going to give him a fight...thats just kinda how that works usually....

What a mother effing idiot Keith Thurman as. Where do I even start.

Let's start with the obvious elephant in the room. PBC has never ever made a profit. They are a venture capital company that is over two hundred million dollars in debt that's why these Fighters are being paid what they're being paid. There are rich investors losing money because of PBC Al Haymon.

Dazn is in the exact same boat. They are absolutely not making a profit nor are they on track to eventually make a profit.

All these "Stars" refusing to fight each other and wanting more and more money is what's ruined the sport in the first place. And lower the value of boxing.

It's a very very simple equation. The sport of boxing is in a tremendous Financial bubble where it does not generate value it does not generate ratings. And money continues to flow like a Band-Aid to the hemorrhaging wound that is the sport of boxing.

Bob arum is working with the most legitimate Network in the history of sports. They know what fights are worth and they will be the last one standing when the bubble burst. So are they a little bit standing their ground and not overpaying Fighters? Yeah they are.

Bob arum is the most successful promoter in the history of the sport. Pacquiao, De La Hoya did great with Bob arum. They left because the sport is messed up and they had to leave him to work with other factions. De La Hoya started his own company which is a graduation of sorts but how can you say arum was a bad promoter? He did a great job building Oscar De La Hoya. Same with Pacquiao.

Thurman over values himself he's spoiled he lost his fight to a 41 year old man and he doesn't want to look at his market value. Particularly if Al Haymon will just continue to fleece his investors and overpay this mother effer.

Thurman is a tad bit disrespectful

Bob hasn’t been around as long as he has, if he couldn’t do business; In fact Keith career will be over and Bob will still be making money and brokering deals. I understand if you disagree and can’t work with someone but Keith your last fight you took an assss whipping vs an old Manny who is way past his prime and we can remember when you were thinking you were invincible! Keith U on the self for a reason, and I know if you were to disrespect Al like that some fighters would give you a free asss whipping. Grow the hell up!

Thank you, these guys are losing money. Some are not speaking about this fact. Arum has come out and said he is looking money, and this one want to come around and asked for money that his PPV Numbers cannot generate.

We have people talking about how Khan was paid 5m, well how did that work out for Arum? And they want him to pay Thurman more than that in a pandemic.

So Thurman confirmed he asked for 10 million??!! GTFOH

This clown burned himself with the fact at the end of the article he said I don't need the 10 million but you ain't getting no discount"! So he actually confirmed that he asked for 10 million when he kept denying that **** the entire time!! SMDH!
