    Bob Arum will be hard press to find some one to help Crawford generate 300,000 PPV buys. He claims to have a hard opponent ready for Crawford but if it's not Postol then who? Broner would be ready by the end of July if he makes the Theophane fight easy. Can't think of anyone else that can help unless he agrees to pay the Mexican legend himself Juan Manuel Marquez to come in and test the young star.

    According to Arum it's due to budget problems at HBO, so it will be a lot more PPV's this year from HBO ^ that's a top notch card if it comes together

    If its that they have my PPV money in advance. Unless they fight on the west coast then I will pull out the VISA and get tickets.

    That's a great card. I would love to see both of those fights.

    It's not organic.you can't force people to pay for what they don't want.
