Arum: Terence Crawford next fight is on HBO PPV

[FrankieClutch]

if it's like 30 bucks I won't be mad at it

I can't believe you guys want to see Crawford-Broner. Broner is horrid. Plus Crawford-Postol would still be a unification and it would establish the lineage.

If I heard it right, this is not the only PPV HBO will try to come up with, according to Arum. I thought I read the word, "lots," lots of PPV fights on HBO this year.

I'm guessing they're changing their business strategies. Boxing is no longer sustainable they have to come up with something. The way it is now boxers want truckloads of money when they're asked to face tough opposition. The compromise would be to pay a small guarantee and the additional payment would depend on the success of the PPV. That way boxers would at least bear some responsibility when it fails. Guess who would be in the best position to promote the fight? Exactly. The boxers themselves, not only outside, but inside the ring. You fight with a boring style, then you have only to blame yourself why your card failed. They could at least do their best promoting the fight outside the ring.

HBO can't afford Crawford anymore. They built him up and don't have the money to pay him.

Yep that's what happen sometimes

[BoliviaChiLEsp]

HBO makes 95% of their profits from original programming.

No need to spend on second tier events. It would be entirely different if they did 4 premium fights a year on regular HBO... Kovalev-Ward, GGG-Canelo, Fury-Wilder, Bradley-Pac.

Just 4 premium events with 24/7 would be better than what they have now.

Without PPV I think those fights cannot happen.

*****, I don't even stay up until 3am to watch him fight let alone pay for his fights.

Can you buy HBO PPVs in your location?

Thankfully we don't have to - point being, I most certainly wouldn't.

BoxNation allow you to pay for one off fights, I wouldn't buy a Crawford fight. He's just not a PPV fighter.

I'd pay like $30 to see him vs Broner,Garcia,Porter,Thurman,Postal..

That's it....

Pac or Bradley won't be ready for July, Marquez hasn't fought in 2 years and Mikey Garcia? Really? Lol

How the hell is Crawford going to carry a PPV card? That's just not going to happen.

I really like Crawford, but he simply hasn't reached that level yet. If it isn't Pac/Bradley, it doesn't seem plausible. I wonder how many HBO PPVs we're going to get this year.
