Crawford needs to focus on the fight in front of him, he needs to be careful and learn from the Joshua debacle. Chasing a PBC fighter can get you in a lot of trouble. When they want those fights then it would happen. They wanted Fury and that fight is happening, if they didn't want to fight Tyson Fury then that fight would never happen.
One would imagine the champion of bellator could fight the champion of ufc....one would imagine it could be possible for the best mlb team to play the best Japanese league team.....one could imagine a scenario where the best CFL team could play the best NFL team......however, there would have to be a large pot of money to make it happen....it’s happened before....
Those are all bad examples. I’ll point out the obvious one. The Champion of Bellator can’t fight the Champ of the UFC because there is no belt organizations. Each promotional company has their own belt. Unless the PBC does that bs belt and for some reason the rest follow suit and stop fighting for the ABC belts. Then I see how it could become a problem. But until then these fights should get made.
How many times have Lomachenko, Crawford, Shakur Stevenson, Michael Conlan and Gilberto Ramirez fought on DAZN, Showtime or Fox?
They are contractually bound to fight on ESPN. That was one of ESPNs stipulations when TR inked the network deal with them.
PBC fighters are not contractually bound to fight on Fox or Sho. They can fighter wherever they want. And have boasted about that in the past. I don't see why it's so hard for them to fight on a different network if they have the freedom to do so
My issue with crawford is he keeps worrying about the pbc fighters instead of his career as a whole, he is a better boxer, undefeated and he makes more money than anybody at pbc not named pacquiao or wilder.
What he needs to do is put all the fighters on blast that dont want to fight him. Spence, thurman, porter and both Garcia's talking about "wrong side of the street" so there excuse if your not signed under al haymon and fox pbc we not going fight you thats classic ducking.
Floyds resume would have been much better if he would have fought hamed, morales, barerra and kostyu but he didnt because they didnt want to fight him.
Ramirez, taylor and possibly ortiz in the future are great matchups. Forget them busters at pbc all the top welterweights have been beaten already anyway.
Open your Eyes and Ears...
Didn't Arum and Haymon come together to make Wilder vs Fury?..
So why can't Spence.... Pacquaio vs Crawford get Done or Thurman... Garcia?
I know Wilder don't Duck Anyone but those Scared Welterweights on the PBC are pure Scared to Fight Crawford......
You can't use the Excuse "Wrong side of the Street" Anymore if Haymon and Arum came together to make the Wilder vs Fury fight....
forget the eyes and ears! .... string 2/3 thoughts together.
How is Fury-Wilder different to the WW situation?
If Fury had good opponents on ESPN and Wilder had good opponents on PBC then they wouldn't be fighting each other - believe it!!
PBC does have quality matchups at WW - all their fighters and the network and PBC can make good money fighting each other, they don't NEED Crawford.
Crawford knew all that when he re-signed with Top Rank. His reasoning is dumb.
