    C'mon OP you need to post the source.

    The exceeding expectations quote was in reference to buys on the BLK platform not overall.

    If this number is true, then Hearn called it. He predicted it would do less than 10k.

    I can’t trust what BLK says. They claim it exceeds their expectation but won’t say what the expectation was or what the PPV numbers actually were . If it exceeded expectation then why not release the numbers. Sounds like expectation was more than 1 buy and over 2.

    Boxing needs weekly fights on at regular times broadcast for free on major stations. Been quite awhile since it has had that. Hard to get PPV buys for unkowns.

    Yeah, 5k seems too hilarious to be true. I need to see a source to confirm, I'm guessing it did more than that. Maybe like 60k but they'll say he did around 90-100k for better negotiation room with Errol Spence.

    I don't blame Crawford, he's just a boxer and does a fine job at that. But he's getting on age now, it's now or never, guy needs to fight Spence now, a lot of people are starting to see him as a joke.

    what a wasted career. If you're gonna fight once a year at least fight the best. If you're gonna fight no hopers then at least fight 3-4 times a year. Crawford fights 1 guy who has no chance to beat him every year.

    Hahahahahahaha

    That’s what you get. Good luck fighting buns for millions now.

    Zero pulling power + no marketability to go with it. Even Terence refuses to market himself.

    Ouch.

    I remember Chad Dawson at the peak of his powers couldn't get 2000 people to pay to watch him in his own city.

    At least Crawford sells out in his home town. But outside of that there isn't a lot of interest.

    He really needs to take a serious risk to cross over.
