Comments Thread For: Crawford-Dulorme Heads To UT in Arlington, Texas

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

The April 18th bout between Terrence Crawford and Thomas Dulorme has finally found a home. This bout will take place in Arlington, Texas in what will be a college setting. It's part of an HBO split-site doubleheader that also features the expected slugfest between Ruslan Provodnikov and Lucas Matthysse from Verona, New York.

I'll be there. But why UTA? UTA isn't exactly a great place to host any event. It's a commuter school with not a lot going for it. They have a hard time getting people to show up to their own sports activities let alone boxing.

Guess this means ringside tickets will be fairly cheap.

my question exactly..he's surely the only think filling up omaha...his bout should have been scheduled a year go..and since they waited he should have waited until the site was open again...thats sure money..bob made a bad move here

Crawford starts to prove himself a really strong draw in his hometown, yet, instead of building on that, Top Rank throws him to a commuter-school venue, in Arlington, TX, likely without the financial commitment to formally market the fight (split site deal can't be great for the money on the fight).

I fail to see what the rush was. If there isn't a venue in Omaha for that weekend, move the fight to another weekend. With April 18th out of the picture, there's another date that comes open nearby.

Something about a fight at some Vegas casino in early May, where Top Rank is looking to fill the undercard for.

everyone wins, but such a move woyld make too much sense.
