    Harsh way to tell bud he needs to sell some tickets to earn his keep. I suggest you find him a fighter worth the hype to pit against bud if you want lots of sales.

    Wtf? Lopez and Mayweather are vocal but Shakur and Pacquiao for sure aren't. What promoter tells a fighter to promote themselves. Crawford was a fool for signing with that lowlife.

    Shouldn't Arum be trying to make a cross network ppv fight vs Spence then to try and recoup his money.

    Shakur has a social media presence. (at least on Twitter; he has only made half a dozen IG posts in a year) and Pac needn't utter a word as he comes with a prepacked rabid fanbase. Crawford is the most boring p4p fighter since Virgil Hill, both in and out of the ring.

    Crawford needs to ditch him and go and get his worth

    Floyd & Pacquiao did better without Arum.

    Arum is a snake

    Floyds greatest victory was leaving Arum and promoting himself.

    Bob dropping truth bombs about the monosyllabic sociopathic Dud Blahford, the most painfully mundane fighter this sport has to offer alongside Guillermo Rigondeaux. Being a P4P talent can only do so much, you actually have to make an attempt at being marketable outside of Omaha, the most boring city in the United States to put asses in seats. Bob Arum has more money than he knows what to do with at this point, and at 88, he doesn't need the hassle of going out of his way to keep a fighter who only fights crippled, drained, shot or past it fighters, who no one outside hardcore boxing circles has ever heard of. Quite frankly he should have sued Crawford for running like a ***** in his shockingly bland PPV debut, especially considering a possible highlight KO was readily available to him. Right there he proved that entertaining the fans was the least of his concern. Since he clearly doesn't care about us, we shouldn't care about him, and should tune out.

    I think Crawford has already told him, he won't be resigning. Shades of when Mayweather went his own way. Welcome to the bomb squad Terence, Mr Haymon will look after you. lol

    As others have said get him a fight worth getting excited for. Kavalauskas, and the ghost of Kell Brook aren't getting anybody interested. Hope he bails on Bob's old ass so we can get big fights, hell Porter and Danny would be huge at this point.

    OG Bob don't mess about. He's been in the game longer than the game has and he's always been a real firecracker who doesn't suffer fools gladly. If he feels Terry's not been pulling his weight on the promotional side of things, and he hasn't, he'll let him know in no uncertain terms that it's time to shape up or ship out. It looks like OG Bob's patience with him has finally run out and trust me he won't think twice about stepping to him if Terry wants to go down that route either, 88 y/o or not (he actually turns 89 next month).

    Crawford should do him a favour and send him to hell.

    "Go to hell, bob!! you are welcome!!" that's what he should say.

    Btw, mayweather promoted himself, bobby. As soon as he could, he sent you all blood leechers to hell and didnt allow anyone to control his money nor his future.
