"ESPN doesn't have a PPV budget for TERRENCE CRAWFORD unless it's with ERROL SPENCE- BOB ARUM

[KENNY DA COOKER]

@MasterOfAllHeSurveyz





I don’t want to put Terence on PPV again until he fights Errol Spence,” the Nevada-based promoter Bob Arum told the Everast “Talkbox” listeners.

“Again, if it’s on pay-per-view, it’s a relatively limited audience. If it’s on ESPN, it gets maybe a couple million people or more watching. I think we owe that to Terence and that’s what we’re gonna do, have him fight in Omaha or Lincoln this fall.”

Brook’s ask, he said, might be too stiff because the budget for the promotion wouldn’t be as large if it wasn’t a PPV event.

Bob Arum wants to keep Terence Crawford off PPV until Spence showdown

Smart, free ass whippins until they fight. Don't nickel and dime the fans

It's not smart

It's hurting Crawford's career

Cause they simply aren't willing to pay for the quality of fighters he deserves

 

[desjardins]

Makes sense to me. Who are his potential PPV worthy opponents?
If he fighting lesser quality opponents let it be on ESPN prime time for free.
None of the Garcia/Thurman/Porter fights were PPV, probably hard to justify the cost unless it's a mega fight or against a star Mexican

 

[CanesMiamiLakers]

Basically they didn’t make any money his last ppv

yeah that's exactly what the commentator from Dontae's boxing nation was saying...

his fight with Khan on PPV was a flop.......

Arum is looking funny in the light to ESPN..that's why he despretely wants to make this Spence fight....

PBC really killing them they have the names. Crawford should’ve left when he had the chance.

Exactly. Why he would re-sign with them knowing every big 147 name is on PBC is beyond me. He is wasting his prime with top rank. Never seen a guy on Terrence level fight such poor opposition for this long.

Breh, if he loses his 0 to Spence too soon, it would have hurt him way more breh

All the more reason to stay busy

 

[KENNY DA COOKER]

All the more reason to stay busy

why are you trying to justify Arum sabotoging crawford's career?

You do realize he is a PRIZEFIGHTER and it goes beyond just staying busy he has to pick bouts that generate revenue and also keep him relevent

Yes and that is how he earns a living while waiting for better larger purses, correct.

 

[malbaker86]

He made a mistake in reupping with them for as long as he did. 147 and 154 are two divisions that TR does NOT have a great roster at

Bud will be 32 YEARS OLD THIS YEAR!!

HE DOESNT HAVE TIME TO GRIND IT OUT AND WAIT ON THE BIGGER PURSES...

HE HAS BEEN DOING THAT SINCE HIS PRO DEBUT IN 2008!

HE NEEDS BIG PURSE FIGHTS NOW!

and he realizes that too like that day at the Amir Khan press conference he was asked why hasnt he had any marquee PPV bouts inspite of being possibly the p4p best fighter today

And he responded right in Arum presence

"yeah I've always asked my promoter WHY I didn't get that Pacquiao fight?"


Bob didnt say sh1t.. Just looked stumped


But a week later when pressed about the topic he responded and admitted to suppressing Crawford
