The Joe Rogan Experience<\/a>, Crawford \u2013 who went through a public split with Top Rank during his career \u2013 sided with Benn and explained why he believes loyalty is more-or-less non-existent in the relationship between a promoter and a fighter.<\/p>\n\u201cA lot of people are saying that he [Benn] is disloyal and that Eddie Hearn has been loyal to him and this and that. I\u2019m like \u2018man, what is people taking about?\u2019. It\u2019s just business, it ain\u2019t personal with them, I bet.<\/p>\n
\u201cConor Benn did what is best for him and his family, just like the promotional companies are going to do what is best for them and their business.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf a fighter that say sign loses probably two straight [matches], they get to cut him. No questions asked. Why? Because now they are wasting money, they feel.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey don\u2019t care about that person\u2019s family, they don\u2019t care about that person\u2019s relationship with them. They are not going in there with their heart like \u2018oh, man, you are a good buddy\u2019, they are like \u2018ah, sorry, it is just business\u2019, and they cut you.\u201d<\/p>\n
