Comments Thread For: Terence Crawford vs. Shawn Porter: Eddie Hearn Declares He'll Make Purse Bid

I'm not sure this is really a PPV fight..or at least it probably wouldn't have been one not so long ago. Fights of this caliber were on HBO and Showtime.

Do you think it would do more than Pac/Ugas' 250k buys? I really don't know. Crawford hasn't lit it up on PPV but he hasn't great matchups for pay per view. Does Porter as an opponent really change that?

I don’t think it’s gets More than 300k tops if it’s on ppv. And that’s being extremely optimistic.

Good! Top Rank undercards usually sukk

You want the fight to maximize viewers and revenue. I don’t think that happens on DAZN because very few people subscribe in America.

Who wants the fight to maximize viewers and revenue?

Damn, two Top 5 fighters in a historical marquee division of boxing going to a purse bid. That seasoned promoters aren't sure they can generate at least 8-10 mil out of this fight shows how much messed up this boxing game is. How long can boxing go operating like that?

Well, blame your #2 P4P for ducking smoke for almost 6 years.

Everyone involved. I would think fans would as well to give the sport a much needed boost after having top tier fights cancelled and rescheduled.

You realize that a simple web search debunks your entire diatribe.

Doesn't matter, Crawford does not want this fight, or Ortiz, or Ugas, or Ennis, Spence ect ect. He says he does but he purposely price's himself out and then claim they don't want fight him. He's the biggest clown in boxing. I think he has talent, but how can you really measure that talent when he's fought absolutely no one, and I mean no one. I was actually looking at his box rec the other day and name's on his resume include guys like John Molina, Ricky Burns, Hank Lundy, Felix Diaz, Julius Indigo, some fooking guy named Deirry Jean, who the fook is that? The two biggest names on there were a blown up featherweight in Gamboa, who rocked Crawford good by the way, and Rey Beltran, I think Beltran is a solid warrior, but he's a gate keeper. To think that some people want to have this guy on the p4p list because he became undisputed beating a bunch of paper champ's keeping the belt warm for him, is a travesty and a insult to the actual p4p best.

Word of advice, if you are going to make stuff up keep it somewhat close to reality, don't just go crazy because people will look it up and your credibility will take a hit.

Your welcome in advance.

Just say "I hate" and we'll all know who you're talking about or even just "hate", everyone will know.

Well, blame your #2 P4P for ducking smoke for almost 6 years.

BTW, thanks for that.

The winner does 1/2 million PPV's in their next fight

Yeah who doesn’t want to see the sport where it was in the 90s, the 80s, the 70s, so on and so forth. Far be it for American boxing fans to want to see boxing recover from the niche status it’s in now due to the horrendous business practices of lawless figures who control the sport

And having it on DAZN stops that happening? Surely if the bosses at PBC and Top Rank feel the same they will either not let it go to purse bids or make sure to win those bids.

If Fox or Showtime win this bid will they put it on free to air or do you think a 90 Dollar PPV is going to happen? Would that help to push it to the masses?
