Bob Arum was just milking him too much without understanding his boxers as they too have boxers in my mind to help them in climbing the ladder. Now that he's a free agent, he can decide anything and will earn more without giving some cut to his promoters.
Great fighters like Crawford should leave promoters like Arum, look at what happened to Canelo he is on his own and can fight anybody, Crawford's road to greatness is to have a legacy fight like the Spence fight, he miss this chance, and he'll regret this for the rest of his lie.
Are there any updates about this fight? Hopefully, they can announce it before the end of June.
I'm also hoping that we finally have a date and venue so we can stop speculating and erase our doubts that these two fighters are just taking us for a ride.
And he already did leave Bob Arum, I wish he decided that years earlier to avoid waste of time because his talent is so much valuable but sadly that wasn't put to good use as he's only faced against a medium boxer, unlike Spence who took good boxers that's why he had 3 belts and done the most cleaning up in the division.
I believe this fight will surely happen this year and not next year, so maybe November or December will be the month for that.
