this is false and it doesn’t work that way

If Crawford vs Taylor happens, what does his tenure at 140 have to do with it? That time is over & done.

Are you proposing Crawford move down to 140 to fight him? Regardless the logic is flawed

Man I dont wanna see Taylor vs Crawford. Crawford needs to get Ugas belt and then fight Spence for undisputed, if he doesn't want to do that then move up and call out Mell for Undisputed.

With Manny and Spence tying each other up Bud should have his pick of the "others"
If they want to keep it in house make the Taylor fight
otherwise it's ugas, porter, thurman, and ortiz out there. Manny was the carrot being dangled so i get why maybe he was waiting on that if that was the case but now it's no excuses if he fights some bum

I'm wondering if TR/espn locked themselves into some dumb venue agreement thinking covid impact would be longer than it was
Why were Ramizez and Taylor fighting in that lil ass hotel :what:. Can arum not find the money cause they can't get into arenas with larger capacity for some reason. shyt is basically fully opened now

How is it flawed? If he beats the next undisputed champ at 140 who came after him the whole 'His resume at 140' shyt would have to stop. Fighting Taylor now does nothing to prove him as a WW though.

Why won't he fight Thurman? Bomac was running his mouth..."Thurman ain't got no damn belt" then they fight Kell Brook next:laugh:

easier fight to make :yeshrug:
people talking about Manny vs Spence is how you make a fight without the media bullshyt, as if Bud ain't get a fight announced out the blue before
It just wasn't the opponent you wanted :troll:
any pbc fighter probably going be drawn out negotiations and honestly it seems like haymon might not even be involved with some of these like Porter and his dad went to Arum directly so who knows

He looking decent, but the right hand ain't the problem.
Its everything else surrounding that shyt. Dude need to be developing a left hook. Its harder to get walked down when you have a two fisted attack. Plus he gotta be ready for either version of Fury. The aggressive come forward one and the outside out boxing one.

Those lil steps to shoot the right hand are a start tho, he needs to be able to create space to shoot his right hand, but I'd also work on some short compact punching too.

Porter was willing..they lowballed him with one million...come on. Crawford is just taking easy fights..thats all.

Well he'd probably get a career high if he activated his mandatory and waited for Dazn or Triller to pick it up :unimpressed:
I honestly have no idea how PBC negotiations work with cross promotions. shyt seem all over the place and appears difficult even with promoters not named Bob Arum
Like MP promotions is probably dictating the split with Spence (ie: paying Spence) so why was Manny demanding Arum find $40 million for him up front instead of giving Bud an offer he (and arum) couldn't refuse like they gave Spence apparently. I heard b sides don't dictate purses.....except when it's Bud. Then it's on him to pay everybody knowing he don't sell and his promoter lowball. so iono :francis:
