    This man is ruining American boxing. Almost single handedly. It's not that hes a greedy money sucking promoter, because they all are. Its that hes the biggest obstinate ass on the face of the planet.

    All of his stable fight no-hopers and in house competition. You're lucky if they fight more than once in 10 months.

    Hes almost single handedly ruined Terence Crawford's career.

    He is bad for boxing, worse than Hearn.

    I had said it before

    Networks need to be solely in charge and create elimination style competitions

    Do a points based system to decide ranking. If your cash cow is good enough he can climb the division. If he is not there is someone else who can be marketed.

    The UFC model is excellent and it forces the best to fight the best.

    Any bad performances and it means you tumble down the rankings unless its an anomoly.

    I think you have your facts wrong. Uncle Al does not manage Terence "Bud" Crawford rather Bob Arum did. Crawford is clearly difficult to negotiate with as shown by the negotiations for a fight with Spence. I love Al Haymon and Al Haymon is great for boxing.

    Boxing and it's **** politics **** me off.

    Look at the Crawford Spence farce and compare it to the card the UFC are putting on this weekend.

    No wonder people are switching off from the sport. It's pathetic.

    Bud Crawford has put the fear of God in cowardly Al. He knows Bud would one by one bum his entire stable. They would all get it. Even Plant would get worked by tiny Crawford.

    So why is Bud pricing himself out of a fight with EJ afraid of losing is he so he picks on the easier Avenesyan.

    How do you know he priced himself out? This announcement came out of nowhere. Nobody even knew he was in talks with Avenesyan.

    I did. I am close to PBC and Crawford is a nightmare. We now know what Bob Arum has had to deal with.

    I thought they had agreed terms, with Bud receiving the smaller end of the purse and with no guaranteed purse only a percentage of the total revenue, but the sticking point was transparency to show the actual costs and revenue.

    Doesn't sound like Bud was pricing himself out more that he wanted guarantees he was going to get what was agreed.

    Haymon does not cheat fighters he ensures they get most of the money. Bud was being difficult and will now earn a fraction of the career high payday he was guaranteed against EJ. He will then claim he want Jermell Charlo then we get the same merry dance again.

    Spence vs Crawford may never happen now. EJ can’t force Bud to fight him. Bud is all smoke and mirrors clearly did not want the smoke.[url]
