    I mean you gotta do what you gotta do to sell PPV's. If you're not knocking guys out you gotta go the floyd route and start talking as much trash as possible trying to make people hate you so they pay to hope to see you get whooped on.

    As soon as you see him rocking TMT caps and has Money Mayweather watching his fights ringside.

    Nah, Crawford doesn't have Floyd's spending habits. He fishes,
    makes babies, comes and checks on his mom and girlfriend.
    He lives in Nebraska. 7-8 million and he can live there until 90
    and send all his kids to college. He'll clear that over his career
    after taxes and Arum. He'll be fine.

    he seems to come from good folk, i dont think they will let him act the dirtbag. floyd was surrounded by cochroaches, he never stood a chance.

    Where is Gannicus and his Africa agenda? Crawford does a lot of charity work in Central and West Africa and this ******* never mentions that.:think

    Crawford does not have to be a heel and I despise anybody of any origin, color or creed that believes every Black fighter has to be a rac-****ing ******* to sell tickets.

    It's combat sports not a minstrel show.

    All he has to do is keep winning and keep smart people around him. The rest will take care of itself.

    Has nothing to do with being black. People pay money for knock outs or to see a trash talker get humbled. Also whats with the africa charity work? We got folks in our own country starving.

    I think the more interesting questiong is

    knowing what it could do for crawfords career...would arum let him?

    im fairly sure Floyd/haymon approached arum about this years ago...and bob wanted to promote him as the "clean cut all American" kid....and that had something to do with their decision to split from arum

    I wonder if arum would change his stance and let Crawford go the villain route?

    there are some indications already if you want to look for them. the whole "did you get what you was looking for" speech after stopping dierry jean and the mean mugging after knocking out lundy, then you've got the taunting in the 12th round vs postol too. he'll have to do more if he wants to fully turn heel tho.

    Crawford doesn't seem like the type of dude who pretends to be what he's not. Crawford has a mean streak that shows itself at times but I don't think he is going to adopt some sort of fake personality to increase interest in him.

    Boxing is show-biz and you have to do what you have to do to sell tickets. Floyd couldn't draw flies to turds in the first part of his career, but he figured out how to sell to the masses and look what happened. Not saying that would work for Crawford but if he wants to be some kind of ppv star he will have to do something.

    GTFO you little loser. I always have supported Crawford. The difference is, Crawford respects Africa. Your idiot Lord of the Sabbath and fourth member of your trinity, Mayweather doesn't.
