How he gonna do that if PBC has no interest letting it
They are happy to have 90% of the 147 top fighters they not about to give the rival's fighter a chance to beat their guys, you can't be serious blaming Crawford for this. You can say "why he re-signed with Top Rank then?" (do we know if he had other offers? do we know if he had any other choice (see Mikey's case)? He got good money too) but the halves should be blamed accordingly how much they are in control.
Crawford probably only gonna fight the more important PBC guys when the PBC guys finished with each other, hopefully next year and if he beats Spence/Porter/Pac/Thurman or whoever comes out winner of the PBC tournament then nobody can say nothing about his resume and who he beat anymore.
It is crawford fault though. He knows where the fights he wants are, he also knows his promoter has a strained relationship with the other entity. Now that doesn't mean that he doesn't want to fight them. But if he does, making it more difficult is not the best way to achieve this.

I get it but first and foremost it's the fault of the system and those who run it not the fighters'.
We don't know if Haymon even wanted to sign him, we don't know if it was even possible for him to jump ship, it is well known that Arum offers fighters contract extension like one and a half year or more before the existing one would expire and if they don't sign on it they get shelved for the rest of their contract. Happen with Mikey Garcia too. Why would he put himself out of business for 1.5-2 years risking losing important years from his prime in which he can still earn good money and stay active at least even if the deck is stacked against him politically.

He can do what he wants, but he loses the right to whine about dudes not wanting to fight him

Would he get the big fights if he would become inactive for 2 years and then he would have to shake off the rust too? He's motivated to do his jobs first and foremost not to keep years of pauses just cause his promoter isn't in good terms with the other. Whatever how we look at it it would be bad for him either way, at least now he stays active, keeps his name outta there, expresses his wish to fight the best guys and keeps earning good money, even if it's not against the guys we would like.

Well he has to deal with the consequences of his actions. Like I said he can make whatever choice he wants, but you can't reup an obstacle then complain about goals on the other side of that obstacle. If u want something bad, you sacrifice, PERIOD.
OTHERWISE he can't complain.
Is Wilder’s fight vs Ortiz September or has it been pushed back? Reports have been confusing. Heard it may be November? What’s the truth? Why would they push it back if so? Isn’t he fighting Fury in February? It looks like he may have to fight Whyte before May 2020 too if he’s still champ.

You’re not gonna have two PPV fights that close to each other. Wilder fight is probably gonna be late October, early November.
Wasn't it supposed to be September originally? Why are they delaying if they are?
