All the really big meaningful fights require significantly more than that, and that's where Arum hits his dilemma.
Arum will likely try to talk ESPN into something, but I figure that they laugh in his face and put the onus on Arum to cover the event (It'll likely be presented as 'Top Rank Boxing on ESPN', but, in practice, it'll be a Top Rank PPV, with Arum fronting the broadcast costs for the ESPN talent).
Bob was so pissed when HBO stopped paying for his mismatches. Lol Can't see him taking risks like that now when it's not necessary.

And for the record, DiBella knows well that Arum would put Crawford in with Spence next Tuesday IF THE MONEY WAS THERE but it's not, not yet anyway. Dibella should shut up and promote his fighters so that maybe, just maybe, someday the fight can happen.

I slightly favor Crawford in this one.. Spence got hit by Peterson many times and we all know Bud can bang

Originally posted by factsarenice View PostThe inside story is that both fighters wanted to get paid for the risk but neither were house hold names at the time. Boxing purists knew that Danny Garcia once paid Postal to avoid him and that Crawford was a live dog. Arum knew he was going to lose money on the fight but also knew the fight would put Crawford on another level. That said, the gate was much bigger than expected and Arum's losses were less than expected. Terrance Crawford got the exposure he needed and a shot at making millions in the future. It was a smart long term play by Arum but I wouldn't expect a casual fan to know or understand the inner workings.
"Insider story" "boxing purists" lmao
You're a clown. Stay off these boards with your nonsense. It will be checked.

He’d put him in with Spence? On what network? Where?
