    Man, what's with the prices of PPV? 50-70 is outrageous. It should be, at most, 20. Ideallly, we shouldn't even have PPV. Having a subscription to HBO or Showtime should be enough.

    Yes, this PPV will do very poor. I can't imagine anything near 100K. I'm thinking 50K at most.

    It's a very good fight, but neither fighter is a star. You may as well make Fury/Klitschko PPV, and they are probably more known than Crawford and Postol.

    I don't care much for Haymon but I'd agree PBC puts together decent bouts for free...

    It's a shame these two awesome fighters aren't being marketed correctly and making this PPV only hurts the prospect of a bright future by limiting their exposure to hardcore fans who happen to be desperate for a good fight.

    Exactly. ****es me off. This is supposed to be a big fight at 140. And it's being minimized greatly. I think being with Top Rank hurts these guys' futures. Bob has burned bridges with Showtime. So, they can't take the fight there. Neither guy is going to get the necessary exposure in their biggest fight to date. I thought they were doing a good job with Crawford, until I heard this. Maybe the replay will get decent viewership.

    Terrific fight. Absolutely no reason it should be PPV. That said, sell it at $10-15 with an OK undercard and I'd buy.

    Now $10-15 or $20, I would do. Not going any higher than that.
