    Made MSG and MGM sound like queers. Most amazing atmosphere I've seen in years. Was a steal in terms of pricing.

    was surprised by the size of the crowd that came to see Crawford in a market the size of Nebraska. And they said boxing is dead in America.

    Any time the Midwest gets any special event of any kind, they do go big with it, knowing that it could be their last one for a while.

    Ron Stander cracked me up. I asked myself who was that farmer shadow boxing. Turns out he was a butcher.

    College World Series (baseball) happens in Omaha every year and attracts a large number of tourists.

    Not much to do in the midwest? You must be a homer.

    Before the fight I wasn't aware that Crawford was from Omaha and laughed that it was taking place there, and figured no one would show up. But damn, they did make a great crowd for sure. Nebraska is such a boring state I guess people will get real hyped up about anything remotely exciting happening there. And then the fight happened to be great so it made it even better.
