that sounds like bull**** algeiri wasnt marketable at all nor rios cause everyone knew pac would walk all over rios. Crawford won fighter of the year last year and for the most part is known by boxing fans even more so then when bradley fought pac for the first time. This is plain out manny doesnt want to risk getting KO'd.

PPV should be really low, considering the general public does not want to see this bull****.

[daggum]

nobody wanted to see the 2nd fight....let's do a third!

[Spoon23]

and that is why boxing is turning into a joke sport.

It's about who makes the most sales, and not who deserves it.

Major overhaul is needed, good thing Arum is past his expiration date.

I posted this in my topic:

That's B.S. Crawford has done some great numbers and sells out his hometown stadium every time he fights there. And that's not an easy feat. Ward doesn't do it. Thurman didn't do it. Bob is taking Crawford to NY as the main event. If he wasn't known there is no way Bob would try that. Bradley is fighting in bars in las vegas an in a 1/4 full stub hub. Crawford is an exciting fighter and wins in exciting fashion. He's doing his job. If he isn't well known that means Bob ain't doing his job as a promoter.

Even if its true that Bradley is more marketable than Crawford (per HBO), why the hell didn't you consult with them and get this information a long time ago, instead of leading Crawford and the boxing fans along for months?

I like Bradley, so I'm happy for him. It's a nice payday. But DAMN Arum, your constant recycling of fights is nauseating.

[Pigeons]

But but HBO good for boxing doe.

Arum being Arum, not sticking up his fighters. Saying "HBO said..." but you can tell with his wording that he feels the same. He said the same about Rigondeaux. Unlike Rigo, Crawford doesn't have limitations on who to sign ith when he becomes a free agent, so he should leave Arum the first chance he gets.

hahah the froid queef boys defense squad is out on full force on this one. Despite the fact that I hate this fight and wont buy it, Bradley is still head and shoulders above a bumass berto

This is so ******. Give a fight to Algeri, but not Crawford? Absolutely unnecessary 3rd fight. Won't even do any sales. Crawford deserves this fight, not Tim. Beating an overmatched Rio's shouldn't earn you a Pacquiao fight, but I guess this is how the sport has been run for years. Needs a major change in the way it's run. There needs to be more oversite and checks and balances put in place to keep travesties like this from happening.
