Comments Thread For: Crawford A Heavy Favorite Versus Avanesyan, Big Underdog Against Top Rank's ESPN Show

He ain’t laying a single glove on Terence “TBE” Crawford

[Tag, You're Hit]

So let me get this correct. You would rather pay 40$ to watch only one nonmeaningful fight in Bud vs David I-BE-SNEEZIN over a very good card on ESPN that features former unified champ Teo vs Sandor Martin (dominated Mikey), Jared Anderson, Xander Zayas and Keyshawn Davis for free. Then you say PBC is hurting for money because Tank and Mell are the only fights on the schedule. Huh? You do know there is a good Showtime scrap next Saturday 12/17 Lil Ali vs Frank Martin - Matias vs Ponce for IBF 140 title 2/11/23 in Minnesota - Benevidez vs Plant march '23. More fights being lined up as we speak You do know that right? RIGHT? You look on the espn.com boxing schedule and from now until March there are no DAZN/GBP American fights on the schedule. There are only Showtime and ESPN fights. I'm sure you researched that before you put that post up right? RIGHT? So please tell me again who is hurting for money. You guys are too easy.

First off, I said I'm going to record the ESPN card and watch it later. Those are all good prospects on there as you mentioned, but they aren't compelling match-ups. Second, I'm sorry $40 is a lot to you "cuz you are on the welfare, and can't afford it..you can't afford it.." Third, Sandor Martin barely beat a Mikey who wasn't Mikey anymore. And that fight was B O R I N G . Fourth, Martin vs Rivera should be a good scrap, but that's a low budget fight; same with Matias vs Ponce. And Benavidez-Plant doesn't have a date or venue yet. If PBC was flush, there would be a lot more on the schedule is all I'm saying. Why are you so insulted and taking this personally? Do you work for them? Are you Al's nephew?

First of all change your avatar because you don't represent anything about that picture ... I DO! Those four ESPN fights are really compelling because all of them besides Teo are up and coming and in a few years when they are Champs we can all they we watched them as babies. And lastly you stooped muthafuqka I'm the guy on here that always gets chastised because I buy every single PBC/TR Ppv fight. KEEF v Barios, Andy v Arreola, Wilder v Helanius/ Fury I don't care because I support (and I'm too old to know how to steal ******). Forty bucks is just another bottle of Remy Martin V.S.O.P or the charge to pay for parking before you have to pay the 100$ to get in the club.

You never addressed the fact that I said there are no DAZN/GBP fights scheduled I'm 'Murica through Feb. There are 5 PBC fights and a few TR fights only. Addressed that you idiot. Being as though Al is probably worth 50 mill...I really wish I was his nephew!! Hahaha

If you made up your own mind based off the lies that Bud spit out then you're just as dumb as he is. He told you guys that while he was negotiating with Al he was also secretly negotiating with BLKprime behind his back. That tells you he was not seriously considering the fight. Good I'm glad the powers that be in America (Al and Bob) are trying to destroy this fight because these apps are like little kamakazis that's blowing up what little semblance of boxing structure we have left in America. The only thing we can hope for is Bob Al and Oscar comes together and make this shyte work!

How dunb would YOU feel if what Bud was saying was true?

This is strange kind of scheduling. I will be honest, I sometimes am not the most observant human on planet Earth, and until I read this I did not make the connection they were happening at the SAME TIME. Seriously, if you are building a PPV model for your business, this is a crazy bad gamble. The boxing audience is bigger than some people make of it, but it is NOT huge. Not to mention there is also a UFC card on Saturday, I just cannot see the logic here for an aspiring company.

Just strange. But as it is not my dime, more power to them.

I would feel pretty dumb if what Bud was saying was true. But he's lying and we all (mostly) know it.

I believe that. Honestly.... this is close to a 50/50-type fight, but I think Spence is ducking Crawford. Definitely not the other way around. Crawford wants this. Thurman is not beating Spence, and Spence knows it. It is a nice payday for him, and it is a recognizable name.

I'm supporting the Crawford PPV. Based on what he actually said, he did everything he could to make the Spence fight. I don't listen to the narrative, I listen to what the actual sources say and make up my own mind.

My assessment is that the current powers that be in boxing didn't want to make an undisputed Spence - Crawford fight, and now they're trying to hamper the BLK Prime event with multiple events on the same day.

I'm going to pass on the PPV, even though I think Bud made the right choice in taking the fight. if those clowns want to pay him 10 mil to basically spar, then he's supposed to take those fools money. No issue there. But the card is pure trash, so its not up to me to help subsidize BLKs losses.

I do find it hilarious that Arum counter-programmed Bud with his ESPN show. Thats awesome. Bud probably doesnt care, because his money is guaranteed, but a lousy buy rate certainly isnt going to be helpful for his future fight negotiations........

I'm a long time Hagler fan. The Avatar stays. The ESPN fights are interesting from a developmental standpoint. I'll watch them. But, c'mon, compelling? As for you being the guy that gets chastised for buying all the PPVs, sorry but I'm not your fanboy or stalker so I don't know anything about that. And I don't post on this forum all that much. But, seriously, props to you for supporting the PPVs if that's what you want to do. I buy my share of PPVs, too, including several of the ones you mentioned. I don't steal ******s either because I'm not cheap nor a thief. I subscribe to DAZN and ESPN+ and have Showtime. Boxing is the only sport I care about anymore.
