I may question you on your continous repetitive threads / posts on Golovkin but completely agree here Crawford has been touted by some as having the potential to maybe be as dominant as Floyd through 135-147 but apart from maybe a few top rank soundbites I ain't heard no one touting him as the next PPV star Crawford has major talent , but to become a PPV star now is very very difficult for a variety of reasons And after the maypac anticlimax , u ain't gonna become a PPV star if u ain't making a big statement in a fight like the Postal one, or u play the arrogant Gillian going in against a popular fighter I ain't no lover of Floyd, I respect his achievements , skill set and longetivity, but so many people forget what he achieved before the big Oscar PPV, love him or hate him but a lot went into that to get to that point. And he beat the golden boy , props to him and after that him and his team knew that half his PPV audience were paying to see him lose Unfortunately for for Crawford the only opponents that could possibly make him a PPV star is pacquaio and that's not a given considering he is way past his best and no longer commanding big ppv numbers Add in the fact that most potential opponents of interest are with haymon, makes it even more unlikely Crawford is quality but aside from pacquaio and to a much lesser extent Bradley there is nothing that will raise his profile But of course if he had gone all out to stop postal, that would've helped his cause !
Why are TR putting him on PPV then and talking about Pacquiao fight, isn't it exactly for that reason? Obviously it's going to raise questions now with this low a PPV as it did with GGG, looks like it's harder to sell PPV's than many people think.
Evander Holyfield. Manny Pacquiao. Clean cut good guys who made the same kind of money as Tyson and Mayweather. I don't know why you are bringing up Broner. Look up the purses and lifetime earnings of Holyfield and Tyson. They both hover around 500 million. Mayweather and Pacquiao's earnings would be roughly the same too if May hadn't gotten the bigger split from their fight, but they are still both way up there. So you are wrong. And Bradley has made far more money than Adrien Broner. He's fought Pacquiao 3 times and made like 5-6 million each time. He probably cleaned up when he fought Marquez, Rios, and Provodnikov too.
In the US, I don't think the nationality matters for a PPV. At least not entirely. Golovkin and Lemieux are more known in the US than Crawford and Postol, plus they got more promotion.
Learn to ****ing read re****. I made a statement on why it's a PPV, never said anything about either boxer or the performance. I think Crawford is a hell of a fighter and can't wait to see his next fight. So don't quote me and lump me in with you agenda. I don't give a **** about PPV numbers. Just making a statement on why it's a PPV. You are the ****ing idiot trying to sound smart. You've been spewing non stop **** every day. HBO and Showtime are tired of paying mutli million figure for fights that can't draw. If you demand PPV pay you are going to be put on a PPV event. The big network has learn from their mistake.
Pacquiao wasn't American and look at his numbers. Crawford and Wilder aren't that popular here either. Golovkin is more known in the US.
