    It looks like Greedy Bob is at it again. No doubt if the Crawford/Postol fight got made the price tag would be $49.99 at the very least.. Imo it should be an HBO WCB card. Are you guys willing to fork out $50 + for that fight? Vote and discuss..

    You think it would be? I don't see it being PVP unless it's a co-feature.
    I would pay for it yeah, but numbers would be terrible, and I won't have to living in the green and glorious land that I do.

    Should this be the main event it will have red ink written all over it.Neither guy is THAT popular and don't think otherwise.

    Don't see that going well at all. On the bright side, it means it surely has to be vs Postol. Or possibly Broner? :huh

    I'd get it, if you can't afford PPV you are a bum.

    It's not about affording it, we'll for me it isn't it's about understanding it's not a quality PPV main event... It should be shown on HBO for their subscribers... We shouldn't have to pay for a fight which we feel belongs on WCB, because the damn greedy promoter wants to stuff his pockets with more money...

    If Crawford goes PPV I doubt it will be Postol. They will dust off JMM or
    something.

    It will be Postol. JMM is being positioned for a fight with Jessie Vargas in the summer.

    I thought Vargas was angling for the Bradley/Manny winner. Especially if its Bradley, since he wants his rematch and all.

    As far as Bud-Postol, it's sad if it's not HBO WCB. HBO's lineup this year is thin as it is. Who would have thought that if I were somehow forced to drop either HBO or SHO for the rest of 2016, I'd probably drop HBO? It's sad.

    That's what I thought too. But JMM is very interested in the prospects of becoming the first 5 division champion from Mexico, so that's a very strong possibility... Also with a Cotto fight in the works for fall, Crawford might pose too much of a high risk. Cotto-Marquez will be a big money maker.

    And with showtime announcement of the 7 fights to headline in the first quarter of this year, it certainly looks to be on its way to taking over as the top Network..Well see what hbo comes up with in the next few months.

    No way. If Crawford was taking on one of the top welterweights I might though
