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

Idk. Sometimes he comes off as humble and then he starts talking about that street life with Lundy at a presser....he's kind of odd. He clearly has an ignorant side to him, but I feel like he wants the support of the blue collar folks of Omaha, and so he won't [often] won't go around acting like a thug or even booshie. His coach/co-manager is annoying tho. I look at him and I just think, "the black fat dan" - I don't see too many people liking him. But Crawford can be liked. Furthermore, I don't think being disliked is a necessary key to selling, he'll get recognized off good victories, that's first and foremost.

I'll admit I couldn't imagine him being a superstar like Top Rank was hyping him to potentially be, but now I'm starting to see their gameplan...it's rather simple, match him in big enough fights and let him garner the audience through winning.

Crawford is well spoken and respectful...
People will pay to see see him win, I will pay to see him win.... Unless he has a Dr. Jekyll / Mr. Hyde transformation, people will be behind him..

Floyd was selling Controversy and rubbing many fans the wrong way as a means to a end...
As long as he kept/keeps winning, people will pay to see him lose..
If he were to lose after the way over the top attitude, I'd expect Floyd to get the Adrien Broner treatment... Take Your humility and hopefully learn something... AB Doesn't seem to be learning much but Floyd is a different animal altogether....

But if Bud were to lose, I'd expect him to get the Holyfield treatment, fans would continue to support him....
