    Every last one of them is pricing themselves out of a Crawford fight.

    Whatever man. It's not brain surgery. There is nothing new going on here.

    All the welters were with Haymon. And Crawford signed with Arum, who doesn't work with Haymon ... because Haymon pushed Arum off ESPN for a couple years when PBC was buying up air time.

    That's all this is about.

    If old Devon Alexander or Berto leaves PBC, Bob will put Crawford against them on PPV and tell everyone how awesome they are.

    If Crawford signed with PBC, Crawford would be fighting round robins with all these guys. Nobody is afraid of him.

    It's a fight between Haymon and Arum.

    The guys on PBC fight once a year max. People are afraid of Crawford. That's why they hide behind the network. Just sign the contract. If anybody wants Crawford stop pricing yourself out.

    Thurman is the only one. And it was due to injuries. He's had multiple surgeries the last couple years.

    Thurman, Porter, Spence, Danny Garcia, Manny Pacquioa and Mikey Garcia have all fought this year. You saying that's it for all of them for the year?

    Please.

    Thank Floyd for making this a praise worthy thing to do. He basically started and glorified this trend.

    “Health comes first”, “it’s about business”. Which is true, but you’re also a fighter, a warrior, a prizefighter.

    Good for the fighters, bad for the fans.

    I am. Khan is always in an exciting fight. Very underrated. He has his strengths!

    If Khan can somehow manage to turn back the years, shake off the shell shock of that savage HL reel Clenbuterol bomb from a 190lb juiced to high heaven Clenelo, and go to the well one last time and pull out one last great performance Crawford could be in big trouble. Khan might be shot to smithereens and a mere (or Amir lol) shadow of what he once was, but he still has the fastest hands in the game and blazing hand speed causes Crawford serious problems (Cuban leprechaun Gamboa hurt him badly and horse-toothed dwarf GRJ sparked him out on the cobbles). And Khan is hitting a lot harder since having his broken right hand surgically repaired (he was fighting with a broken hand for a decade), hits a lot harder than Errol Spence (which is precisely, factually and semantically correct), and if he goes Super Saiyan on Bud's ass like he did against Lo Greco it could be another 39 second blitz job.

    Only reason I can imagine anyone buying this PPV is to see Amir getting Khan'd The Fok Out for one last time, because at this point it's very unlikely that Brook vs Khan will still happen.

    I do wonder though. The time we think Khan is getting knocked out will he win in an upset. Khan is so fast, I wish he had a gameplan and stuck to it.

    I said something similar in another thread. What I wonder is back in 2018 (when Crawford was a free agent) what stopped Crawford from pushing for an Al Haymon contract? What did Bob Arum offer Crawford that Al Haymon couldn't deliver, was it the big fights, money or something else? Really makes you think, did Crawford sign with Top Rank for legacy or money, because I believe that it's the latter.
