do you have trouble with english, or do you really think an unborn crawford was the matchmaker for four horsemen fights??
leonard moved up to 160 after retiring and waiting for marvin hagler to slow down. duran moved up for the money. hearns moved up in part because he had to. making 147 and fighting that night was killing him. even at 154 lbs he was losing a lot of weight in the gym. he's 6'1" and has shoulders like a cruiserweight.
crawford is at 147 for a megafight with spence. they wanted pacquiao for a number of years while he was with arum.

unfortunately boxing is having a ton of problems adjusting to the 21st century and nobody is buying ppv anymore. the megafights are not delivering top dollar right now. so guys are fighting cans and waiting out covid and waiting for the pieces to settle. ppv should be 10-20 bucks. easy as hell to watch on any device. fights should start on time on a clock. iu don't care if there's a fight before. have them finish after the main. those fights don't mean anything to almost everybody. you're cutting off your nose to spite your face by formatting things the way you do in a boxing card. people paid for the main event and it's ridiculous to expect them to watch 3-4 boring fights, or check in periodically to see if the main is on. people have better **** to do and it's way too easy to do it. it's way too easy to stream. but for 10 bucks who gives a ****??
