Bob Arum Bashes Terence Ccrawford: I'm Losing Money Promoting Bud! We Don't Need him!

[Earl-Hickey]

I just hope y'all will admit that the PBC fighters haven't been ducking Crawford, Bob is the problem not Crawford, Spence, or any other PBC fighters. This is on Bob.

It's the white man's fault!

[just the facts]

IT's funny, isn't it?

Bob Arum (his OWN promoter) tells the truth about Crawford - same truth I've been saying for months - but I'm the hater.

When your OWN manager calls your opponents "wounded ducks" and "C level"...

When your OWN promoter basically says you can't sell out a family dinner and he's losing money on you...

I mean FFS, when are people going to get a clue?

Terence 'No Smoke' Crawford.

FYI - the original source for the information (including Arum's interview) was The Athletic. I archived a copy of it, so people don't try to say it was BS. This is EXACTLY what Arum said about his OWN fighter.

Due to your inability to view anything even remotely related to Terrance Crawford with even a sliver of objectively, your ignorant opinion means less than nothing.

I know what you can do. Create a bunch of truly dumb and false threads about Crawford and put everyone who disagrees with you on ignore so they won't call you on your bu!!shyte. No wait, that's what you do now..........

It's fun to watch Crawford fight but honestly, his personality is pretty damn dry. He doesn't get loud at all. Let's be honest, the people that tune in to watch him are primarily the boxing fans. He doesn't have this super stardom about himself to attract casuals who like to get into the personality of who they're watching on tv.

On the other hand, like someone mentioned, Top Rank hasn't done much at all to help promote Crawford either. I don't know if these promotional companies are getting lazy and just want to be involved for the cut, but their job is PROMOTING. I feel like Bob is trying to put all of it on Crawford himself which isn't fair. Yes, he's pretty damn dull but, he's also not out there enough for people to really get attached to him. I think that's on the promoters side to deal with.

He's not dull he just knows how to handle his emotions around ppl.

[Combat Talk Radio]

Roach did more promoting than Manny did. same with Sanchez and GGG. but both of those guys leeched off the highest ticket sellers in the sport : Floyd and Canelo. GGG got a $100million contract thanks to his attachment to Canelo.

Crawford name is now attached to Spence but none are PPV attractions.

Pacquiao, GGG and Crawford all have the charisma of a turtle so i dont wanna hear sht about how they "promoted".

Its still shameful a "promoter" telling a fighter to do what he's paid to do. but i dont feel sorry for Bud. people told him years ago to leave TR.

Yeah but, Bob has been trying to set up things for Crawford to do like radio and whatever. Crawford refused to do it. Openly.

You can't do that. I'm sorry. Not when you have a boss.

But at least, now we can understand why Don King still has fighters. Like Judah warned people




So basically, you can get cash advances and get paid - but then get shorted - by King who will pay your opponents to dive for you to keep you on top if you have potential but then sue you if you want to move on.

OR

You stay with Bob Arum who will verbally **** you to the media while you're still signed with him, then sign a guaranteed $3.5 million check for you when you're behind closed doors.

OR

You go to Al Haymon, where you'll get fights but you basically have to earn your way up the ladder.

Wouldn't it be a shocker to the boxing world to see Crawford sign with Don King? Despite all the noise?

[Eff Pandas]

So Bob is saying he sucks at his job???

TR bout to be the Teo Show.

And Bud should just go to PBC & make some career high paydays & enhance his legacy.

Yes but still u cant out pacquiao promoted self in own country adding to aura singing basketball just being jolly in broken english. Ggg he barely can speak english like canelo so not his fault. Crawford way different dude is american dont talk dont give interview dont even do anything on social media where u aint gotta talk much. A mixture of crawford and top rank killed his prime. GGG was the must see minus paying for it at 160 it was us fans waiting on canelo to move from 154 to fight em. Rivalry builds the sport so crawfords is suppose to be spence but dude still a mystery even to hardcore fans cause aint fault a soul we give atleast i so ugas thurman danny garcia n porter a good chance to beat crawford without even facing spence .ill change what i say once i see bud win big against top 10. No canelo wins like he did vs lara n ggg twice or like ggg did verse sergey. Im talking unanomious win

[danceswithfire]

i guess TC aint resigning then , bob is really full of it man

[buddyr]

it's the promoter's job to build up opposition, even if they are trash. Don King always built up his top fighter's opposition and even had future opponents fight on the SAME CARD and talk **** to each other creating a hype for fights in the future. Remember when Tito was supposed to fight Terry Norris and the both of them fought on the Tyson vs Seldon undercard? But no, Arum wants to have a main event and a bunch of goddamn fights on the undercard no one cares about. Chavez wasn't even speaking English in public like that during the 80s and 90s and Don King still made him into a star. Arum is ****. Anyone that continues to sign to him deserves everything they get..Lomachenko should be a HUGE STAR. Crawford should be HUGE..
