            Crawford/Postol definitely should've been on regular HBO from Omaha instead of PPV from Vegas. If you had to go to Vegas, pair it with a Loma/Walters fight. The money instead has gone to a series of mismatches designed to make HBO names look good.

            Whats done is done. I satisfied I purchased the fight.

                  Never argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.

                      Agree but it was likely the only way that fight was going to get done

                      Can't really blame Peter Nelson for not really making Arum and his fighters a Priority when he Bad Mouth Nelson before Nelson officially took over at HBO. Now that he is fully in charged yeah I'm sure he is sticking it to Arum a bit.
