    This fight should bring good ratings on ESPN.

    If Lomachenko wins, I think he passes Crawford as #1 P4P.

    And it was horrible to see how the promoters almost ruined this fight... :qmiedo:
    Because I don't believe that it was a pantomime by GB/TR (well, theoretically it's possible, but I don't believe it) from the start — there was/is a conflict between them.
