    It’s not a necessary evil to make a baseline attempt to promote a fight that you are in, and have demanded big bucks to be in

    these people have shown faith in him and he’s taken the money and ran

    in the end the lower level fighters are the ones that get ****ed the most

    Like it or not, boxing is show biz. If you aren't going to promote yourself nobody is going to know who you are and pay to see you fight. Don't know the ppv numbers but I would bet that it tanked. Being big in Omaha is not enough

    This is why I find it funny that some people don't see Spence as the A side in their potential fight.

    ^ Spence couldn't make any money on that platform, either. It was a terrible idea by Blk, same issue that Triller had. They should start small, try to build a sustainable boxing model and *then* stage a bigger fight.

    It’s so predictable. Boxers and boxing people are so easily rinsed. They believe anyone with a wallet. Lopez Kambosos. Triller paid $3.5 million for it. Lopez said he was signing with them, they’re the future. Ended up on DAZN promoted by Hearn. Same time, Golden Boy, we’re off to Triller, ended up on DAZN. Dubois Bryan( not Dubois fault ) Don King website PPV, bombed, no one got paid. Now Crawford. Feel sorry for Ava. These people really are thick. He thinks BLK are a better, more reliable outfit than Top Rank. I’d say he’s been punched in the head too much but he hasn’t really.

    Crawford doesn’t care about any promotions. All he cares about is who will over pay for his perceive value. BLK way overpaid so he jumped on their bandwagon. Now it turns out they don’t have the money. I would even say BLK are clueless if they think this fight would generate enough money to cover the purse.

    This also says a lot about Crawford I highly doubt a fight with Spence will ever get made. Reality is Spence have and can outsell Crawford. So should be getting the lion share. I do think Crawford wins if they do fight but it look like it won’t cause of ego.

    And he also used a pair of old gloves in the fight.
    Bud has become a cheap ass!
