Crawford vs. Postol Close to Being Done for July 23 PPV

[Pigeons]

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"!

Look at what happened to Golovkin when they went PPV too soon. It ruined his marketability and he is now the laughingstock of the entire sport.

He's looking to finalize a PPV with:

Crawford/Postol
Ramirez 1st title defense if he beats AA
Jessie Vargas vs. TBA

All Postol asked for was a neutral location so it looks like it will be in LA.

Now let's get ready to on those impatient fans and their ducking accusations.

postol vs matthysse
I bet Lucas, Postol upset my apple cart!
Cost me money! My bad for underestimating his body of work!

Crawford vs Postol???
I gotta look at it with a more open mind..

But how many taller fighters has Crawford faced???

Help me out here guys!!

I don't get how it's a PPV. Nobody outside of hardcore boxing fans have heard of these two, and even most boxing fans would say this is not a PPV event.

Everything is playing out as I foresaw it.

He got laughed out of Germany and Morocco

The laughingstock of the sport? How weird. Explain why the Forum is opening up sections for this fight that have never been used for any boxing event. Says to me, the laughingstock of the sport is a must see ticket.

So anyways, how is Crawford being on PPV not good again?

I don't see how 30K viewers for the biggest fight of his career up to this point is a positive thing.

[Fetta]

Still say this is a horrible idea

[KingTito]

I love this fight obviously, but it's not PPV worthy. They would have to put together a supercard. If Loma-Walters was the co main, then sure.

In the fightyhype interview, Arum was very cryptic with his message that the opponent will be "tougher than Ruslan". For all we know he could be setting up a fight with Matthysse, which would really be an embarrassment. Arum doesn't have a lot of options when you look at the 140 lb landscape. Herrera is booked, Ruslan is gone, he's stuck with Postol or Matthysse. Let's hope he does the right thing and chooses Postol.
