    I don't care if it's ppv... I could always not buy it if it isn't that great.... Doesn't look that great.

        So why is Arum asking the casual fans to pay for unknown commodities? Doesn't make any sense...
        This is a PPV worthy fight. Two of the best guys in their division going head to head. I don't care if nobody knows these two. I care about the matchup. Its top notch. If you aren't willing to pay for the best two in their class, but will pay for crap like Floyd Berto, you aren't really a fan of the sport.

          Maybe in a utopian society, then again Crawford-Reymundo Beltran were #1-2 at lightweight with TBRB, RING, ESPN, and Boxing Scene as well. How would you have felt with that one being on PPV?

            Lets deal with reality son, not made up scenarios. You "boxing is a business" guys are looking funny in the light right now. Didnt you guys want fighters to get paid? Now its a problem? Im confused. Enlighten me as to why Crawford vs Postol getting a ppv fight is bad for them.

              Exactly. People get too caught up in names. That's why we're getting blessed with #Khanelo. It should be about the fights.

                Let's deal with reality. We have no idea what their purses are going to be. For all we know, HBO's budget is in such ruins that they are getting HBO WCB purses on a PPV telecast. No winners, fans are losers.

                  It's not a big enough mismatch for HBO to air.

                    Again, enlighten me as to why ppv is bad for Crawford who is a rising star. Why is him facing the next best 140 pounder bad for ppv? "Boxing is a business"!

                      Still would be a great fight finally a world caliber test for crawford.
