      I'm sure he is. Just not sure a PPV flop is the way to kick that off. I'd like to see this on HBO World Championship Boxing and then Crawford's first PPV should be against a big name (assuming he wins).

                  Yeah it sucks but rumor is their $30 million HBO sports budget got slashed further. It must be pretty bad that they can't spend $2-3 million on fights like these anymore.

                  The breakeven on this is probably low given the purses. They probably only need 150-200K to breakeven.

                    Yeah I agree with that second paragraph. I'm just not sure it helps Crawford long-term. He's nowhere near PPV status and needs more exposure to a greater audience. But let's see -- the PPV #'s for Pacquiao-Bradley III should be a harbinger.
