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

[Nightfall]

Haymon understands very well, Thurman, Danny & Porter don't even qualify as competitive sparring work for T Crawford!

Duckford gets knocked out by all three

“F--- Keith Thurma! All right?. “Why you talkin’ sh-t, Keith? Keep your God-damn mouth shut. Keep your God-damn mouth shut, Keith. "

$2m would be a fair purse for Thurman.

Bob Arum, and his Top Rank Promotional organization, is a positive vehicle for boxer breaking into the business. It also appears that he's also effective in promoting the middle stages of his boxers career. I would go as far as his being essential in getting his fighters title opportunities, in order to become champions. It's after his fighters have become champions that, and have defended their titles a few times that the problems begin. It's as if after making them champions he wants them to pay him back for his help. At that point he doesn't want to split the pie fairly, as if it was all his doing. Not giving his fighters the deserved credit/payment for their own talent. He has to respect, and understand that the boxers are the ones risking life, and limb to reach their goals. Furthermore he has to learn to appreciate the blood, sweat, tears, time away from their families, operations incurred from their profession. This is lost on his continued lust to make the lions share of the all mighty dollar. He's made plenty of money throughout his decades in boxing, treat your fighters fairly. The fighters who have left him, have done so because they knew they were being short changed financially.

Damn this was on point!

Not as much as he thinks he is. Outside of casual boxing fans nobody really knows who tf he is,they just remember him as the guy Pac beat. Let's see if PBC is willing to pay him what he thinks hes worth which I highly doubt. Seems to me this rant was more about him begging for a payday than anything....I'd say $2mil at most for what he currently brings to the table.

Your opinion of Thurman's value is about the same as mine.

Obviously Keith disagrees . . . . .

[Monty Fisto]

I think Keith knows that he probably loses to Crawford and when he does, he is done. Such a fight would therefore need to be retirement money. And so he can't afford to take it for what Bob is offering -- even if that is to large degree forced by the economics of the pandemic.

Does Keith sound calm and rational or tetchy and desperate?

Why does he sound tetchy and desperate? Because there is far less money in his sport at a time when his body is telling him he needs to call it a day soon.

[Combat Talk Radio]

THAT was an all time rant. I wished I heard it. I was ROLLING just reading it.

Just a little wired, dear Keith was.

Nice names I guess. Cherrypicks (Fury, Frampton) and hitmen (Derev, Spence). Don’t fall so easily for the halfway decent matchup because Haymon needs to take a little risk every blue moon so people stay duped. None of these PBC guy’s were established fighter’s taking risks, where’s Haymon’s risk here? I’m talking 50-50, two top fighter’s, unifications. Jacobs and Gary Russell are the outlier’s, the outsider’s in the inside. Jacobs is advised by Haymon but also signed with Hearn, while Gary has made public his opinion that Haymon is protecting fighters from him. The point anyway, is that It is obviously not easy to get fights done with PBC fighters, for anyone, nvm Arum. Not unless you are going in expected to lose.

You're making excuses, Haymon is making fights! Joshua's debut in the USA is with a Haymon fighter! Fury's comeback is with a Haymon fighter! GGG needed Jacobs, because he was fighting garbage! Cotto needed Floyd! Floyd didn't need Cotto! Canelo needed Floyd, Floyd didn't need Canelo! Where did Manny go when he left TR? Where did Mikey go when he left TR? Where's Rigo right now? Who is Ryan Garcia calling for right now? Who called Ryan Garcia before his Campbell fight? You're on here protecting a man whose office was raided by the FBI! You're on here protecting a man who is disrespecting his top fighter (Crawford) in the media right now! Why?
