    Boxing is a subset of amerikkka.; racially divided and inequitable. Arum practiced the NBF (No Black Fighters) theory for years. I hope Terence "Bud" Crawford is made whole! As black people, we shouldn't care if the person we fight for is rich or poor because in the end, we seem to always get robbed!

    I wonder what his case is. I read the article and I don’t see anything deliberate that can stick. However we do know Bob Arum is racist and why Black fighters need to prioritize working with Black promoters. They go sign with a Jew and then be surprised that they don’t know shit about you and don’t care to.

    Yeah we know Bob Arum racist but this joint is basically saying “he’s racist and didn’t do the right shit” and I don’t see how they gon be able to determine loss. We’ll see how it pans out but niggas need to learn they lessons Money May been let us know how this asshole gets down.

    Bob Arum has stated the No Black Fighters 'NBF' rule. He blocked the fight with Pacquiao against Crawford because he said Crawford would destroy him. If Ugas retired him, imagine what Bud would've done. There's a lot of evidence in Bud's favor but let's just see how the courts deal with it. Now, all of a sudden, Shakur Stevenson (another Top Rank fighter) is going to get the fight he's been looking for the past 2 years against either Oscar Valdez or Lomachenko (both of them have the complexion for the protection.) Hmmm, I wonder why!

    But can you sue your manager for not getting you the fights that you wanted? Arum delivered from a legal standpoint it appears. I’m not sticking up for Arum but unless they have Arum saying “im not putting you in this fight because you’re Black” I don’t see how this is going to end in anything substantial for Crawford.

    Yeah I wasn’t caping for that racist piece of filth just saying that a Black man going to court against a racist White man is gonna need some solid evidence. If Arum can say:

    ”You had low sales so I didn‘t put you with top fighters”

    and Crawford has low sales it’s a wrap.

    My comment cut off. I feel you but the guys that get ppv shots are crawford spence davis and stevenson wilder russel etc if promoted right. Those other fighters don't generate ppv status but still get held up as the best. It's up to the promoter to sell the fight. The fighter can help but the promoter is the main catalyst. A lot of these black boxers are being held back while they praise a guy like fury (multiple drug violations and cheater) and the Oscar Valdez who failed drug test but was still given a chance to fight, lost the fight but the judges gave him the fight. Canelo, steroids! Not only is it the white people, it's the hispanics especially in the WBC. Just because we don't see it, doesn't mean it's not there. And I know you're not caping bro!

    Trust me I get it but I’m talking strictly from a legal framework, Crawford has to prove that Bob Arum hurt his earning potential due to his racism. Obviously, Civil court isn’t as strict as Criminal but saying “he doesn’t like Black people and didn’t give me a fair shake” ain’t gonna fly in the USA or else Black people would be suing everything under the sun and winning.

    I hope he does have some good evidence that proves that Bob Arum’s racism impacted him. You and I know it did but he doesn’t have to convince us, he has to convince the court. A court that’s automatically gonna have the White Man’s back off top. The takeaway however is for Black athletes to stop letting White people profit off their talent art every step of the way.

    Going to a White person for anything should be a last ditch effort not the “claim to fame” as a lot of people look at it now. He has the same complaints rappers have had for decades with record labels.

    This lawsuit is coming at the right time. Crawford vs Spence is almost locked in, and that would be a HUGE payday for those two brehs.
    Hopefully, Bud gets his money and then his new reps make the Spence fight so that the men in the ring make the most money.

    Crawford was held to that 1st contract by promises that Arum never meant to fulfill. He was coerced into a second contract. Fool me once....... Now he's 35 and in the twilight of his career without the fights promised to him. Don King was accused of robbing fighters but at least you got the fights you wanted to see. *Off Topic* PPV is down but they don't count the millions of streamers watching the fights for free. *On Topic* This is going to be an interesting fight. I believe they will come with a settlement to quiet this down.

    Yeah I hope Crawford wins and is able to leverage the proceeds to start making Boxing moves with other Black people. The way Lebron empowered his homie such a great example of how we can leverage our star power to put each other on.
