    If Crawford keeps winning, people will pay to see him lose...

    I don't think this past weekends ppv will do to well BUT I do see a ppv future for TC. Haters are fans too and he is just that good. Eventually people will pay to hopefully see him lose, just like all the casuals that put $ in Floyds bank account to hopefully see him lose, TC will eventually get the same. Thoughts?

    That is true but so sad the same doesn't seem to apply to Rigondeaux. Had he been a local, i believe he would have fit into that category.

      Floyd learned from the WWE, that villains can be very profitable and that people can have great interest in seeing someone lose if you build them right. It's sometimes even greater than the desire to see someone else win.

      As to whether Bud will tap into that is an interesting possibility. If he fights and beats Pac, he'll likely be thrust into that position where people want to see him beat.

        I don't get that with Crawford. He's humble, doesn't make diva demands and goes for the kill when it's there. I think he will be a likeable champion.

          if he somehow changes his attitude then yes, i can see people paying in hopes to see him lose. people didnt start hating on floyd when he was still pretty boy floyd, people started hating on him after he changed to money may and his whole attitude changes.

            i see crawford in the same boat as keith thurman. starts out humble and quiet. doesnt say much but then as time goes by, starts opening his mouth more and more. humble and doesnt make diva demands would be guys like tim bradley.

                He only talks trash in return and when opponents get under his skin. In this case, Postol and Roach did most of the talking, Crawford just responded.

                His assistant trainer talks a ton of **** though.

                  I doubt people will pay to see him lose.. The guy is decent & stays humble.. A lot of people hate Floyd for his out of the ring shenanigans.. Crawford seems grounded & level headed..

                  And Boxingfan83, I am still surprised to hear that people hate Bud.. I see no reason why they would..

                    thats exactly what i was talking about.. and when interviewer asked him questions that he doesnt like or asked silly questions, you can see crawford having an effect by it because right before he answer, he'll kinda roll his eyes like he's tired of it or something. its just a matter of time before he starts to feel comfortable then thats when we'll get to see the real crawford. and im not even trying to be racist but crawford comes from a place where its ok to act like that.
