Does Crawford Being From Omaha, Put Him At A Disadvantage?

[Sheldon312]

I was thinking about this the other day. If Crawford had been from another city do you think he would have a different personality and easier to market? For example, Spence is more known and ****y because he grew up in the tough streets of Dallas whereas Crawford grew up in Omaha ( a city not really known for being violent, hell people are surprised when they find out black people are from Nebraska). Dallas has a culture of swag and hip-hop that Omaha lacks so it's no surprise that Crawford has a bland attitude. If Crawford was from Baltimore, New York, Philly, or Chicago, I believe it would/would've been easier to sell him to the urban public.

Crawford is simply not well spoken or charismatic. He’s a great talent, but he has zero star quality. Doesn’t matter what city he’s from.

What are you jabbering about? Both dudes are bland af. No charisma at all

Crawfords personality is way way more bland then spence. As far as promoting him he is a horrible investment.

Crazy with how easily accessible information is, these guys can't figure out how to market themselves.


They can't even hire a PR guy to help them.

Tough streets of Dallas huh?

Omaha has tons of ********** and more hoo do. Crawford had actually been shot in the head before

Spence is a black cowboy man he ain't representing no hip hop or swag lol

Get your facts right. He was slightly grazed in the head. A far cry from being shot directly in the head . Dallass washes Omaha

Lived in Omaha and Dallas. I can confirm this Oak Cliff had me on **** street and I'm from Chicago

I want you all to consider something.

Boots is fairly quiet during pressers and interviews, too. Yet he's gotten exposure, especially after dispatching Villa.

Crawford's momentum died the moment he got to 147. Why? Asterisk wins.

I guarantee you, if Crawford had sparked Khan's chin instead of a low blow, knocked out Horn like Tszyu did (aka no trigger ref), and broke Benavidez down in 6 rounds or less, he would have had way more momentum and hype.
