    Respect

    Crolla in in a position where he held a world title but is practically irrelevant at the weight, so he could have milked it en route to a 'money' match with Flanagan

      Crolla is a good lad, and has ball's.
      Shame he will be badly KO'd in this one...still he can have a big pay day against flanaghan.

        'proper money', haha. What a load of guff. 500k is a massive offer for that fight. Crolla isn't PPV, Crolla-Flanagan wouldn't be PPV either. 500k is about as much as you can make on regular Sky.

          watch the ifl tv interview with hearn, he's right about getting bigger gates and making far more money for domestic dust ups than frank warren can do on box nation. Having the sky sports machine to build a fight is a massive asset worth plenty of money to the fighters. Wasn't there a few thousand people just at the weigh in for frampton quigg.

          Crolla should keep the title, get through barroso if he can, and then its a decent unification fight. Frank warren comes across as a poison old man talking about crolla in the flanagan presser

            Murray and Groves is a fight worth getting excited for!

              Much respect! Crolla now has my interest. He can win with a plan, Barroso has defects. He's a straight shooter, give him angles; his counters are his bread and butter, don't stick around, keep your guard up. Lots of luck champ.

                Everyone is saying Barroso will knock Crolla out, well how many times have they really seen Barroso fight? He knocked Kevin Mitchell out, and i like Kevin but we know he can be beaten and knocked out. Most people are judging it on that one fight.

                Definitely a dangerous fight for Crolla though.

                  Don't even try. I've seen Barroso before, a little bit, he puts them to sleep. This will be nothing easy. Crolla pulls this off and he jumps to the head of the line. Fury would be the only name bigger and that crown could fall.
