Arum: Terence Crawford next fight is on HBO PPV

[Sugar Adam Ali]

That's the same way I see it.

Bradley wouldn't be ready for July either, even if they decided to fight.

I'm trying to find an opponent and I can't come up with one for ppv.

Postol is not a fight I would buy
Broner would be perfect, but I doubt we see that

Kell brook is the only fight I can maybe see being ppv worthy without haymon fighters.

Who are you thinking?

Really got no idea.... Bradley seems most likely even though it's a quick turnaround and he would have to beat manny.. Maybe manny..

I really don't know... The only PPv worthy matchups would be

Bradley
Manny
Danny

Kell Brook really has no recognition in the states...


Dark horse: Juan Manuel Marquez

You all are missing the real take-away here. This is less about Crawford and more about what Arum said about budgets and "HBO is going to do a lot of it's fights on Pay Per View."

That's very, very interesting. Wonder how HBO plans to do this heavier PPV schedule and if there will be a lower average price.

Highway robbery.

Meanwhile Showtime is doing all its fights on Showtime.

If HBO doesn't have the budget then i'm ok with this and Arum is doing his job by keeping him busy, especially if he fights Postol.

It's not great for the sport, but it's better than taking time off, and it's not like I would have ever bought any ppvs to begin with.

Don't know why people keep throwing names like Bradley, Pac, Marquez here. They actually think they would be instantly and magically available on July 23, 2016?

Bradley's last 6 fights alone averages 6 months apart. And his forthcoming fight is not even over yet.

Postol is the only one available for Crawford. Nobody else.

Postol is a big, strong dude... and he's a master clincher until he get's ya'...

Yeah, it sounds like it is an activity issue for Crawford and time/budget restraints from HBO.

Crawford camp wants three fights this year, sounds like HBO can only do two.

Given that, I don't have a problem with the fight (if it's Postol) being on PPV, especially since it's a good match-up.

Frankly, I have less of a problem with good PPV match-ups than I do bad HBO/SHO match-ups, because the viewer can choose if they want to buy PPV...and if this card is reasonably priced with a solid undercard, I'll probably buy.

Can't say the same for some of the other potential PPV's being floated around.

Watch it turn out to be Mike Alvarado or Brandon Rios, or Juan Diaz.

haymon officially killed boxing

My guess is Crawford can't be talked into fighting Postol unless it's PPV.
