Damn, good number.

Im kinda surprised since Crawford is unknown and Gamboa has been relatively inactive.

good. the rounds past round 4 in that fight were freaking exciting, and in 1-4 you could definitely see how it would become a great clash of styles.


i'd love to see a rematch, but it looks like crawford is going to be steered to 147, and possibly a matchup with manny pacquiao. there's nothing arum wants more than to pass the manny torch to an american fighter who he controls, and who is young.

respectable for a hbo card...half of that is what's respectable for sho

Crawford and Gamboa >>>>>> Showtime

It's a crazy idea that if you put together a good fight, not a mismatch or a showcase fight, people will tune in. Can't believe no one else does this as well!

network pillow fight coming up--oh wait already started

Which is a good discussion. Lately Showtime has been putting on nothing but mismatches and tune ups and frankly, it's getting really annoying. HBO of course did this for years and took a lot of heat for it. Us fans should always demand the best, competitive fight from all the networks and promoters. Right now Showtime is doing a poor job in that area and we can only hope that changes soon for the sake of the sport.

Great numbers. One of the best main events of the year but the undercard wasn't too impressive. Regardless I'm glad TC and YG did their numbers, Omaha and it's feisty fans were put on display and showed warmth and cheer behind their fighters.

Too bad it won't be as good as August ninth
