    Dies Crawford being from Omaha makes it harder for him?

    If Crawford was from Chicago, Philadelphia, Detroit...etc would it be easier to market him?

    Nah I think it’s more to do with his personality, he’s not the most engaging or personable of guys.

      But doesn't being from Omaha make it harder. Chicago, Detroit, and Philly has more of a ring to it?

          What makes it easier? Being from Omaha? No disrespect, but Omaha doesn't have the same struggle as other inner-city communities.

              Michael Jordan is from Wilmington, NC. If you've never been there, you wouldn't understand why I'm stating this.. I've spent a lot of time in Wilmington. It's a mostly a white city(probably close to 80%) and the population is like 120k or something. If Michael Jordan can become one of the most famous athletes in the world, there is no excuse for anyone. Crawford f*ked himself by re-signing with Arum. Arum doesn't want to make anyone into a star because he knows they will leave him. Hopefully Lomachenko leaves him for whatever he has left in his career.

                  To be honest it's prob Crawford himself...
                  Dude just isn't made out for the "INTERVIEW" aspect of boxing.

                  But he can fight his ass off. (All that matters)

                    Re signing with Arum was his worst mistake, Arum botched the Pacquiao fight and had nothing to offer him leading him to waste years of his prime!

                    Blame Bo Mac, him, and his advisors for putting guaranteed money over his legacy.

                    But.... Things seem to be getting better, so maybe it won't hurt him long term. Hopefully
