Yea I feel like thats the plan or it should be. They can throw Tim on as the headliner vs Cotto or Brook or throw him on as the co-feature vs Jessie Vargas or some other lesser name & it'll only help this card sell. When you don't gotta pay Manny $20M there is a much lower threshold for breaking even & therefore profit.
Rooting on that being the plan anyway. I think it'd be a better way to build up a guy like Crawford as a PPV guy then to just throw GGG vs Lemieux out there in the deep water like K2 did.Comment

Nice, the two top of the division will be squaring off. This fight needed to be made. Sucks is on PPV, but I am still glad they're fighting.Comment

I don't know when this mind set changed for some boxing fans?
Who gives peeeeep about the buys??? We are here for boxing I think buys are the last thing a real boxing fan should worry about. By the way, this is a great fight for true boxing fans.

gtfoh!!! crawford is becoming a star? to who? the black community and the few people in omaha! show a little more respect for a legend like manny.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.Last edited by WesternChamp; 04-21-2016, 08:02 AM.Comment

These guys aren't really at that level to be on PPV, but depending on the undercard, it could be worth it.Comment

Don't blame Arum for this, blame HBO. HBO is on a lower n lower budget all the time. Supposedly $30M or less this year.
I think nearly any fight thats legit interesting &/or competitive with 2 notable guys will be a HBO PPV at this point. When your monthly budget is $2.5M or less thats just how things are gonna be.Comment

Crawford vs PostalI don't wanna see names against mediocre opponents. If Bradley is on the card I want to see him fighting the likes of Brook or Garcia. I don't wanna are Bradley vs Vargas II. I want to see Lomachenko-Walters. I'll probably buy the fight because I'm ****** and buy every PPV. But I want to see a stacked undercard with good names against good opponents.
Bradley vs Brooks
Lomahenko vs Walters
Now thats a PPV worth 50 bonesComment

Because he does't have all the antics BRONER has, you don't consider him a star?
Crawford-Lundy averages 982K
Crawford-Gamboa 1.2M
Crawford is in my top p4p guys and his skills are up there. He is becoming a star and the way you market a star is by promoting the heck out of them. PPVs promote the hello out of fights this will be no different.Comment
