Is Crawford screwed with Top Rank?

[RetroSpeed05]

The roadblock between Top Rank and PBC seems massive as of now.

Ellerbe came out saying Spence next fight will not be Crawford. They dont want to do business with top rank.

Same with Loma vs Tank.

Ellerbe dismisses those fights every time someone asks him about it.

But the difference is Loma has more options. Lopez, Berchelt, Campbell, Commy.

Who does Crawford have to fight in his division all the WW's are with pbc?

[Thuglife Nelo]

Crawford can continue winning and call out the PBC guys in the post ring interviews.

[THEFRESHBRAWLER]

Yes, he is. Anyone who signs with Arum has to be an idiot. I respect TC but he made a bad decision. His track record is horrible

[The Big Dunn]

Crawford isn't screwed but he is in a tough position. IMO there is a way to work around the BS between Bob and Haymon.

Bob makes Crawford/Loma PPV. ESPN hypes it as the modern Leonard/Duran. Haymon makes Spence/Manny on PPV. A genuine passing of the torch fight. Both fights IMO do well on PPV.

Assuming Crawford wins he is the unquestioned p4p king. Assuming Spence wins he is the unquestioned king at WW. Then the corporate heads get involved and make the deal.

Ellerbe isn't Spence's promoter so lets not take what he's saying as gospel on Spence sh^t first off.

But yea a blind mfer can see this fight isn't happening next cuz there are too many indians not enough chiefs at 147.

Sure Bud & Spence are the top 2 dogs in the division, but Thurman, Porter & Manny all have some kinda f#cking ABC belts too apparently. And Manny is just a legend in the game so he gets a bit of a pass if his belt is a lil bs-ish lets be honest. Some of these mfers need to get knocked off to build up the resumes of the top 2 or 3 guys standing, who I suspect will be Bud & Spence.

Now granted Bud isn't likely to be knocking off anyone for a minute cuz the reality is he IS on the other (or wrong) side of the street, but that doesn't change the overall dynamic in play of too many indians not enough chiefs. Or I guess its more like we got too many chiefs & not enough whatever is the rank is above chief to be specific cuz none of these mfers are indians.

No body from PBC wants to fight crawford including spence.

[Thuglife Nelo]

PBC fanboys need to realize this:

1.Crawford ranks higher on the P4P list.
2. Most people favor Crawford to beat Spence.
3. Crawford is a 3 Weight Class Champion
4. Crawford been making M’s and packing venues before Spence

he never got pacquiao. we all know he would have beat pacquiao's ass. manny would have had too many problems with the length.


i think if he had gotten manny he'd have been able to put him on the highlight reel. that can make you a star. floyd and manny didn't really become stars until they beat oscar de la hoya.

if all that happens it's worth it being with arum. but that's not how it happened! so yep, he's f#cking screwed! who does he fight?


why is arum the only dude talking about crawford and spence? it ain't al's cronies! ever think about that? spence can fight porter, he can fight thurman, he can fight garcia, he can be the first guy to stop broner, he can even fight manny f#cking pacquiao!


your promoter is begging al haymon to fight his star who has all the options in teh f#cking world. yeah, you f#cked up.

[New England]

No body from PBC wants to fight crawford including spence.

the only reason arum is risking his best earner in a 50 50 fight is because he is desperate. he would not want the fight otherwise.

you have to understand this. spence can fight so many other dudes that are all under contract with al haymon. i just listed them, but again: thurman, porter, garcia, first dude to stop broner, and manny f#Cking pacquiao.

[SplitSecond]

Brings me back to quillin dropping his belt and triple the highest payday of his career to avoid korobov(TR fighter)at the advice of haymon.

I feel like even if haymon had every fighter under his umbrella he'd struggle making stars, doesnt have the best grasp on boxing.
