    Terence Crawford signed a contract to face Viktor Postol


    Dan Rafael
    ESPN Senior Writer

    Junior welterweight titlist Terence Crawford signed a contract to face Viktor Postol in a unification fight on Wednesday, Top Rank promoter Bob Arum and Crawford manager Cameron Dunkin told ESPN. Minor issues remain on the Postol side, Arum said. The fight, one of the best that can be made, will take place July 23 on HBO PPV at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
    Looks like Arum will be testing out Crawfords PPV value. No mention if he is the headline fight. But this lines up with the rumors of Bradley having a PPV in July as well. Bob is probably going to stack this card with names.

        I am really looking forward to this fight. Two unbeaten champions laying it on the line in a unification fight. This is what it's all about. Bud will be a star if he keeps seeking out the top opponents. Or Postol might pull off the upset and rise his star by leaps and bounds. I'll pick Crawford for now, but I bet this one shapes up to be something. It's sort of like Bradley-Alexander, but with a lot more firepower. Should be a good match-up and will be great for bragging rights.

          I think it makes more than Bradley vs PAC 3. Crawford is becoming a star, I don't think they over price this PPV. Comes in the range of 40/50 If they add Bradley with another star it will be pretty big. The point is they are giving him his first headline on a PPV, so they have to promote the crap out of him for this fight. Neither fighter will make 23 million dollars so Top Rank will defiantly not lose money on this fight.

              I'd really like to see Crawford knockout this clincher.

                This PPV will bomb horrifically... Expect about 80K.

                  Very good fight (matchup) and a very good test.

                    Kell Brook is trying to get a big fight in July... and Brook and Bradley have been in talks before and it seems as if neither is afraid to fight the other. If Pac decided to retire after Mayweather, this fight probably would of happened around now. I think Bradley vs Brook is very likely, and that's good since the winner would be the clear #1 at WW with May and Pac retired.
