Why Isn't Crawford vs. Postol a PPV Worthy Fight?

I'm a big Crawford fan, but I hope that PPV does like 25K PPV buys. I want everyone to lose so much money they never even consider something so preposterous again.
Because trust me, if this works, every decent fight will be on PPV.
Since the networks don't have the budgets anymore, PPV is the only other option. It would be nice if PBC's model works but it's still a work in progress.

I mean they're both undefeated top guys, but Bob can't put this fight on PPV. Hell Mayweather vs Corrales were #8 and #5 P4P respectively, undefeated, and top #1 and #2 SFW's and Bob/HBO didn't put that fight on PPV because it would have bombed. Mayweather-Castillo would have also bombed. This fight will bomb so hard, if it does 25k I would be surprised.

I think this is HBO's way of cutting off boxing. Unbelievable that a WCB type of fight will be on PPV. HBO/Arum better have an undisclosed preset figure of 150k to lie to the reporters and media with, because this **** would be a massive success if it even hits the 75k mark.

The best fighting the best costs money and with all of these budget cuts that money has to come from somewhere else. Which is why they are looking for these smaller scale PPVs.

Neither guy has a name and tbh it's not even that high quality of a fight. It's a good fight but let's be clear, neither Postol nor Crawford have accomplished much at the elite level. Buying this ppv, you are paying for potential. Even as a hardcore fan, I prefer not to pay for potential. Especially in boxing.

I can understand a casual having that mindset but shouldn't we be willing to pay to see the best fight the best as opposed to a mismatch involving a name fighter?
