Comments Thread For: Terence Crawford Plans in 2020 - Fully Detailed By Bob Arum

"Terrance Crawford is the best pound for pound fighter in the world " Straight out of the mouth of Mannys trainer. He a fan boy too?

[Pigeons]

Porter has in-house options; Pacquiao, Thurman rematch, Garcia rematch, even Mikey Garcia.

[Bigg Rigg]

What a clown!! He’s putting on a whack ass fight tonight but then says that Crawford vs Danny or Thurman is basically no good since he only sees Spence and Porter as options. Get outta here with that bs.

Porter is the best option. Hopefully he is smart enough to take a multi million payday plus title shot. Luis Ortiz allowed people to screw him over for their own self interest. I doubt Kenny Porter will allow that to happen to his son.

You're talking about when Golden Boy wouldn't allow Ortiz to fight any PBC fighters?

I'm talking about when there was a conflict of interest and Luis Ortiz handlers turned down the fight with Joshua screwing him over. Luis gets 7 mill to get knocked the **** out and Andy gets 16 million over 2 fights and loses a boring decision taking little damage. I expect kenny porter to look out for his son.

That Ortiz decision still confuses me and makes me think it was more of his personal management doing him a disservice given that Al has advised plenty of across the isle deals as long as they make sense. The only deal that pretty much turned on a guy was Eleider Alvarez who lost his purse amounts after his L to Kovalev on his TR deal. Everyone else who’s gotten these across the isle deals (Molina khan Diaz Ruiz Jacobs) seem fine as long as they got a good amount of the cards W or L. Kenny Porter is smart enough to know that Shawn is entering the last 1/3 of his career and needs to aim for the best money fights. If it comes to Crawford they have to give him a deal that either equal or exceeds what khan got for Crawford. Question is if TR have the money and will this deal not tie Shawn to TR for x amount of following fights.

Manny is not competitive and wont fight Crawford , I bet that statement ruffled a few feathers.

Come to think of it Ive never seen Manny saying he wants to fight Crawford.

I've heard plenty of times Pacquiao said he would fight Crawford. Post mattysea he mentioned Crawford's name first. And in another interview he said before horn he wanted Crawford but they gave him horn...plus out of all the legends pacquiao has fought compared to who Crawford has fought further process Pacquiao is not afraid of Crawford...I ain't ur b!t@h Im not gonna send u links, if u we're a real boxing fan you've seen the vids buy ur a hater so ur just pushing your own idea...these dumb section 8 bl@ck dudes is crazy

[Pennstate110]

Why not Crawford vs Keith Thurman?

That would be a great fight.

I also find it pretty interesting that Arum admits Pacquiao ducked Crawford.


"Manny Pacquiao would never fight Crawford, and that goes back to when I was promoting Pacquiao. Pacquiao versus Crawford is not a very competitive fight. Forget Pacquiao. We offered Pacquiao a sh-tload of money to fight Crawford and he didn’t want to fight. But I was promoting him, so I wasn’t going to put it on Manny, I put it on me. I was covering for Pacquiao.”

Ahh now u believe the ***...hmmm before he was a snake...but now when he says what u wanna hear , the brothas will side with him...pathetic , too bad Manny wasn't a brotha, the brothas would immediately see thru Bob's bs

[Pennstate110]

Dont be so gullible proof is not that hard to find.

Sorry but Manny is not squeaky clean like fanboys think, this deal with Crawford is just another one, we all knew it when it happened.

Yet Crawford resigned with TR!!!!!

You're talking about when a 40 year old fighter was supposed to take a fight on 5 weeks notice knowing he'd get the same paycheck months down the line with a full camp.

What was Golden Boy's plan B for not letting Ortiz fight any PBC heavyweights?
