    I think bob is feeling desperate ....specially after the pac ppv tanked ....and this is a tough fight for Crawford too....real risky.....wonder if bob can make it worth while for Viktor to stand with his hands down long enough

    I will buy it. Even if it's just for the main event, anything with an eastern euro as a star will get support from me.

    I mean neither of them should've been on PPV, but both needed to be on PPV to happen. And I'd rather see those two fights than not at all.

    I'm not sure what differentiation you want me to make. PPV should only be reserved for crossover stars. So, yes, that means fights like Ward/Kovalev shouldn't be on PPV either. Because like I said, the ones who make PPVs successful are casual fans.

    In that sense, you can make the argument that GGG/Lemieux would be more deserving for a PPV than Crawford/Postol simply because, even though the Lemieux fight wasn't as competitive, GGG's star power is more than Crawford and Postol's combined. But it's really still not high enough to carry a PPV card by himself like Pacquiao could do with Bradley or Mayweather could do with Berto.

    I mean, yeah I was really ecstatic. Lol. It was a unification fight finally and Lemieux was the second hardest puncher in the division. But the PPV didn't concern me that much because I went to the fight in person.

    It's not a PPV fight and will flop hard, it's a shame because it's a great fight. Not that it's either of the guy's fault or whatnot, it simply shouldn't be on PPV.

    Bob/HBO knows this a threat to Crawford so they're trying to maximize profits By putting it on PPV

    That's way too much. $29.95 for HD is a much fairer price.

    this makes 0 sense unless its guaranteed postol is going to let crawford knock him out in highlight reel fashion
