WTF is this?

Thurman has 2 fights in the last FIVE years? Why didn't they just give this fight to Bud.
Bud isn't a big name and doesn't have a promoter. That's why. Yeah he beat spence, but that still doesn't make him a household name because prior to the fight, both he and spence could walk thru your local malls and no one would know woh the fuk either of them were. Plus he's not doing himself any favors just sitting around doing nothing going on 7 months. Even when Bud had a promoter in Arum, he still didn't get him the big fights.

Bud is basically a PBC fighter right now. He's literally on the front page of the PBC fighters page with Canelo, Tank, Benavidez as "featured fighers"




He sat around waiting for Spence because he had a rematch clause now it seems that fight is off so who knows what's next.

they damn sure aint treating him like one. if they were, he would have been fighting Tszyu instead of Keith run-time thurman.

yes he is, and Thurman got the fight. What is that saying? Just as I responded above, thurman is a PBC fighter. Bud is for one more fight, but he doesn't have a long term contract with them. shyt, they may drag that fight out until the end of the year just to see Spence get dominated again.
