Crawford comes in heavier full of momentum and think he'd be a bridge too far for Garcia and the far better boxer. Even bigger hell would have snow flurries before Arum and Haymon make it happen.
This is a bit tricky. Generally it is Arum in the way and Haymon is willing to work together. But Bob is generally up for a cross promotion when his guy has everything to gain. Garcia could help Crawford become more popular, he could sell the tickets etcetera and Crawford would almost assuredly win. I can't imagine what Haymon could gain off making this fight though. So in this rare occasion I think Haymon would be the one to block the cross promotion.
Yeh agree with that. I wouldn't put it beyond Arum to attempt to fast track Garcia right into Crawford but that would end very badly. Haymon looks to keep things in house and has the rotating pieces to do it, Garcia has mentioned Berto on at least three occasions while doing commentary as far as "possible future" and it would be very easy to make.
