Arum: Terence Crawford next fight is on HBO PPV

[Eff Pandas]

What channel are they currently doing massive ratings on that HBO would want to pay a premium for?

Nowhere... ******ed

Again we will see. HBO has expressed interest in MMA before. Its a young growing sport with young fans. There is a lot of money to be made for the people aligned with MMA. HBO could make much dumber decisions than making a play for MMA. You may think its ******ed, but I think thats based on short sightedness.

They can make 10X more from original programming that does MARGINABLY well...

Unless he's fighting Mike Garcia ain't nobody going to buy this BS ppv lol

Idk about that. I suspect half the people who were Mikey fans a couple years back forgot about him by this point.

Beat hank lundy and get PPV? They're really pushing for crawford

[-PBP-]

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

Interesting, the only fight I can think of other than Manny which would do good is Crawford vs Marquez.

Postol is the best fight for 140 and i doubt that does good on PPV but maybe that's they only way they are willing to make it.

[Pain~Lucy]

Lets do it! Crawford vs Postol!!!!

Manny ain't retiring then...

Crawford-manny the only inhouse top rank fight to make..

Manny ain't fighting July 23rd though.

Crawford vs Vargas is possible

True...

No way is vargas worthy...

Crawford would either have to fight bradley(if he beats manny) or some haymon/gbp fighter like danny, khan, etc.. All seem highly unlikely and seems to me that hbo has nothing left in the budget so crawford is getting forced to PPv even though there isn't a major opponent for him

[The Big Dunn]

Chuckguy makes a good point in that maybe it will be cheaply priced card. How cheap though? I do not feel like I should have to pay $20-45 to see Crawford fight on TV at this stage of his career.
