Someone obviously hasn’t been reading my posts.

Regardless nothing wrong with being pro black. It doesn’t mean anti white.

It ain't about race...its about money.

Yall get caught up with black/white stuff and miss the bank robbers

Being pro-ANY race means putting one race before others. Its bigotry and racism.

You are Trumps equal. Cong**** trash

I definitely have ZERO problems with Spence clearing out the PBC belts collection at 147. I would have issues with him fighting mediocre competition when he could have fought for the WBO belt that Crawford has doe.

It's business. With bud and Spence's talents, they should get huge $$$$ to face each other. Let it build vs fighting 4 peanuts. I don't see either losing so why not take a little longer to hype it to the casuals. They both agree that they will fight so why do it right now when there are other quality fights they can make. More so for Spence than bud but that TR and bud's issue that TR created.

Good. Dana White said Bob is the reason the May/Pac fight took so long to make. He said Al is easy to work with. Shut Arum out until he learns some respect and act like an adult. Nobody got time for his foolishness. He got EVERYBODY sued after the May/Pac fight. You think the execs at Fox want to deal with him? Act like a professional and the fight can be made. Fox execs don't want to hear their names being dragged thru the mud by Arum during the lead up to the fight like he did with Showtime execs during the lead up to the May/Pac fights. These companies invest tens of millions into marketing research. They know how to market a fight and it doesn't involve promoters bashing executives.

Nah man. This has nothing to do with Arum's mouth and more to do with PBC protecting their A list fighters from Bud and Loma. Now if Arum considered Bud and Loma the weaker opposition, he would be doing the same exact thing, protecting them. It is just this time around he thinks he has the better fighters.

The problem with most of you dorks in here as you see this as a fantasy matchup between Arum vs Haymon when you should be demanding a Crawford vs Spence fight.

[Floyd is TBE]

Arum needs to compromise. Accept the lesser split and send his guy over to Showtime. It's the only way the fight is going to happen. But knowing Bob he'll continue to act like Haymon doesn't have ALL the leverage. Bob is going to delay this fight for years and Bob's puppets in the media, like the shill that wrote this article, we'll continue to pretend Arum is serious about making fights.

The thing is this Bud wants to fight Spence. Garcia, PAC, Porter, Thurman don’t want to fight him. So in reality Spence will be like Santa Cruz & Russell fighting bums. Yes any fighter looks good fighting bums.

PAC finally agreed to random testing once that sh#t got out of his system too!

FloIV had nowhere to run and he will be crucified if he make another excuse to duck the congressman of the philippines.

Damn, I had Spence's back on this one but this is a bad look.

Lmao. Ok call it whatever you want. Everyone knows al essentially is a promoter but you can be as pedantic as you want.

No he isn't. At all. He doesn't even give interviews. That's not a promoter. You can be as inaccurate and ignorant about it as you want.

Not only did Ellerbee say Bob's slandering Haymon was a problem so did Crawford's trainer.

Why don't you put any responsibility on Bob ?
