    Bob, Bud, Spence

    Yesterday after news came out Arum lied on Haymon and Spence then Spence came out and called Arum a liar why did Crawford go after Spence instead of going after Bob for lying again?

    Arum is blatantly lying to Crawford and Crawford knows it as you can see below. Why isn't Crawford pissed off at Bob for lying about talking to Haymon? I don't understand Crawford's thinking.

    Of course Arum is a liar and Crawford clearly said he won't fight Spence unless he gets a 60/40 money split in his favor. Spence has defeated a much better bunch of welterweights than Crawford. Spence holds 2 world titles while Crawford owns 1 title. Spence does better numbers and is a bigger draw than Crawford. Crawford is the B side in a fight with Spence and the B side does not get the big end of the money split. Arum has never made a public offer to Spence to fight Crawford so how badly does Arum want that fight?

      Bud should fight Ugas and get another belt instead of taking pointless fights

        Because this so called 'rift' between Crawford and Arum is all publicity and smoke and mirrors to hide the fact that they are perfectly ok sitting around and waiting on Errol Spence instead of trying to actually match Crawford up with the best available opponents at the time because those fights are far too risky to put Crawford in because he is easy to hit and Arum knows this and he doesn't want to jeopardize what he believes is gonna be the best payday for Crawford at 147.

        Believe me Top Rank has the best matchmakers in the business. If they felt like Crawford would for sure beat any of these guys they would make the fights. If they felt Crawford would for sure beat Errol Spence they would have accepted 60/40 or even 70/30 and then called all the shots if he won. Can Crawford win these fights? Of course he has a chance most of them are 50/50 fights in my book with the exception of the Spence fight which I favor Spence. Spence, Thurman, Porter, and Danny are not Mean Machine. They aren't just going to roll over and die the first time Crawford really starts to punch back, or just shell up and try to survive like Benavidez did cause he only had one leg to fight on. They are all risky fights he could very well lose just as much as he could very well win. Most people who like Crawford probably only started watching boxing about 4 or 5 years ago and don't understand that Crawford was never gonna fight a cross promotional fight with ANY PBC fighter until the smoke cleared and they knew for a 100% fact that fighter was 1. The best fighter over there and 2. And more importantly the biggest money draw over there. Say what you want about PBC, but in the US where this fight is a big deal, the PBC creates stars and draw numbers, and the numbers and facts back that up. Bob is a liar and he is shady as hell, but he is a very good businessman, he knows exactly what he is doing and he has the media(ESPN) on his side to back up whatever he says no matter how much common sense tells you he is full of ****, which for some reason boxing fans don't use common sense a lot of the time for some reason.

              Porter and Bud need to take matters into their own hands, if both want the fight so bad they need to walk into Bob and Al's office with a joint offer, say this is what we want, and tell them they have no choice but to take it.

                So Bud's lawyer says Arum is lying to Bud then Arum lies to Bud again about talking to Haymon and Bud gets mad at Spence because Arum lies?

                  Spence is about to unify with Ugas which is going to make negotiating a 50/50 or even a 60/40 even harder to justify... Crawford needs to swallow his pride, prove he's better in the ring, and make sure the winner gets the bigger split in the rematch.

                    This is about Arum lying to Bud and Bud accepting it and getting mad at Spence instead of the guy lying to him
