Why is nobody talking about Crawford Postol?

I agree, I totally agree..

This is the best fighting the best & the winner will move up high in the p4p list. So heck yeah, its a super fight..

HBO isn't promoting this as much, TR is not doing a great job for a PPV fight either.. Only hardcores will buy this fight & it won't do great numbers for the same reason..
I haven't seen literally a single advert of it in like 2-3hrs of non-stop HBO, so imagine if they are charging 50$, then they have got to come up with a better strategy to get people involved.. Arum needs to recover the loss from Pac-Bradley 3 & from the looks of it, will probably be in a bigger debt after this ppv falls flat..

yeah strange theres been so little hype, guess neither of them have hardcore fan bases like a lot of the guys on here. Is a great match up though, but i think crawford is the real deal and should win

[Beercules]

I ordered the fight

I think Crawford may indeed be the real deal. Kid has got tons of upside. Let's see how he does!

Boys, I'm really ****in' excited for this fight. Terence Crawford, true heir to the P4P crown! Ready to ascend. Against a hell of a fighter in Postol who's height, length and style make this such an interesting fight.

Will Crawford go in with a pre-made plan for getting by Postol's Piston-like jab, or will he simply go in, take a look for a round or two, then adapt, and take it to the mother****er!

I think this is going to be a great fight, remembered for years maybe, because it's set up to be so competitive. Somebody please talk to me!

The simple answer is because Crawford-Postol is not a PPV fight, the show isn't stacked to be PPV, and everyone seems to have come to that conclusion.

Glad that you're excited for it, but the fight isn't worth $50 to me, the fight isn't worth $20 + drinks to head out to see, and there's not enough value in the rest of the card, to me, to spend the $20 + drinks and expect a good night of entertainment.

imo, that's the minimum bar; for $20 + drinks, is the PPV going to be worth heading out for the night. If not, I'll find something more entertaining to do instead.

Because it can turn out to be an horrible fight. Clinchers ruined the sport of boxing.

where was postols piston like jab against matthysse? nothing was stopping matthysse from getting close but luckily postol clinched nonstop to put on a great boxing performance.

Postol's right hands that had Matthysse spinning and dancing across the ring and eventually making him quit didn't stop him?

You have an excuse for every Matthysse loss.

It's a low budget fight, just like GGG/Lemieux was. I lived 10 blocks away from MSG where the fight took place and can legitimately say I did not see a single piece of advertising for that fight. Canelo/Cotto ads were all over the place, and that fight wasn't even in the City.

you are ****ing relentless man. Are every single one of your comments in jest? I've literally never seen you post a serious comment in nearly 3 years of posting on here.

well i've been watching boxing for longer than 3 years and it hasn't been serious since i've been watching so why should i have to be serious?

[daggum]

A wind-up merchant of the highest degree! You'd need bad eyes not to appreciate Postol's win over Mattysse =]

really? so you just ignore the seemingly hundreds of clinches? how do you appreciate that? i really don't get it. every time he clinches you dont' start screaming and breaking things and shouting at the tv "take a point ref!!! take an effing point!" or "dq the effing cheater dq his ass awkinwade style!" my "friend" does that
