Comments Thread For: Spence: Arum Is Doing Crawford Dirty; Promotes Lomachenko More

[Sledgeweather17]

Spence now is worried about bud being exploited and everything else on the planet but not fighting him.Haymon is playing the waiting game and let Bud age where did we see this before.Spence is not a mayweather talent and anything can happen in boxing and usually does .If Spence beats porter pac/Thurman winner and maybe a third fight at 147 your talking two years and he’s moving up to 154 .There will be no bud fight at 147.

I don't see anything wrong with what Spence said. You guys are either projecting your insecurities on him or your personal biases against him.

Spence wants Crawford promoted properly because whether you want to accept it or not, their fate is forever linked to each other now.

Spence knows without a shadow of doubt that he will be a big name in the sport when the fight happens, because he'll have to clean out the PBC side before the fight can be made, that means that he has to beat Porter and the winner of Thurman vs Pac.

Garcia, Porter, and Pac/Thurman in that order is going to make any fighter who wins those fights cleanly a super star, maybe not a mega star like Mayweather was, but definitely a super star.

So he wants Crawford promoted properly so that their fight will be Super Star vs Super Star, and the winner of which will become a mega star. Their fates are linked together, people already can't stop talking about the two of them getting into the ring with each other just like they did with May and Pac and to a lesser but significant extent, Canelo and Golovkin.

Crawford's stardom benefits Spence and vise versa, and Spence made it clear that the fight will happen around late 2020, which is when he predicts he will have cleaned up the PBC side.

Anyway the Spence is ducking or Crawford is ducking (neither of which are the case) accusations are good for the promotion, it makes the fight all the more intrigueing and when it finally happens people will be dying to part with their money just to see the two of them in the ring, and they will, trust me.

Spence is not scared, neither is Crawford.

Arum promoting Crawford by pushing to get Errol bish azz in the ring once errol sees stars and birds and goes to sleep Crawfords name gets bigger

Spence jr hit the nail on the head. When he beats Porter and the winner of the Thurman vs Pacquiao fight no way in hell is Crawford getting the lion's share nor a 50-50 split.🥊

[Butch.McRae]

Theres no "leverage". That's just PBC wannabe talk about "sides of streets".

Terrence Crawford - #1 fighter on the planet - is calling out multiple free agent welterweights...offering them career high paydays. They are all balking and rejecting the fight...making $6-7 million LESS to fight journeyman.

That's not leverage. That's cowardice and fear. And it's only acceptable by a portion of dicksucking fans (like you).

Whatever you say. You'll be here posting more bulls**t, while I'll be laughing at your whining.

Arum said all that **** to f up the fight on purpose. He was mad because khan quit and made a toprank promotion look bad.He knows that when his money maker falls it's over.

[Eff Pandas]

I do. How many times has Crawford been on PPV? What has been his average purse in last 2-3 years, and compare that to Loma.

All facts point to this been untrue.

What's either got to do with ceilings in the game & push? Its clear as day TR pushes Loma more regardless of pay or PPV. Hell the Postol fight was only on PPV cuz HBO didn't have the money for it outside of doing it as a PPV iirc.

But if anything the pay & PPV possibilities just show how TR should be promoting Bud more than Loma cuz there is so much more upside with an American who speaks English with an 0 in the most popular division in boxing (or worse case 2nd) that mainstream fans pay attention to over a Ukrainian who doesn't or barely speaks English in private with a L in a lil guy division that less mainstream fans care about.

Blah blah stfu Spence. All I know is that Crawford will beat the snot out of roided puffy ******* spence

[dnash1911]

Crawford is a better fighter and more marketable than Loma but with that being said they are both being promoted equally. ESPN is the biggest stage of introduction to the casual boxing fan. Neither one of them will ever be ppv stars without an opponent to bring them out. Arum roster does neither fighter a favor.

Khan made $5m + PPV

Danny offered $3m + PPV (that was only initial offer...couldve been much more)

Danny wound up fighting for $1m flat against a journeyman.

You cant make people fight you. Danny turned down about $6-7 million dollars all because he was afraid of being hurt

Errald is doing the same thing now

And you whine about contract extensions? It dont matter. Errald is a free agent and can fight anywhere. He CHOOSES not to fight Terrence and instead fight LIGHTWEIGHTS.

Those are choices. Even if Errald stood to make more against Terrence he wouldnt take the fight. Period.

Danny Garcia was the headline fighter for a fight that was aired in primetime on FOX in the US, featured on ITV in the UK, and sold most of the tickets at Dignity Health (from the looks/sound of it, there were maybe 6000+ in the 8500-seat venue), and you honestly believe that Danny Garcia only got $1m for the fight? lol

[Scipio2009]

Reading between the lines, Spence is telling Crawford that Top Rank promotes and pays white fighters more and he needs to come over to PBC where they promote and pay black fighters more.


America in 2019.

It's not a "more" question; it's a push question.

Terence Crawford can fight wherever he wants to fight, but Spence is making the point plain that, as Top Rank's #1 fighter now, he's getting nowhere near #1 fighter attention and everyone knows it.

No ESPN profiles, or retrospectives on ESPN+, no Crawford appearance whenever Nebraska sports gets brought up, no ESPN SportsScience profiles of punch tactics from Crawford compared to fighters in the UFC, no ESPN commercials, etc.

Whether Crawford has starpower doesn't matter; Top Rank isn't making the effort on his behalf to see.
