I'm happy Sugar Ray Leonard was happy with the decision and said the same thing when Ward beat Kova... but what does SRL know..

Thurman, Wilder...Mikey, if only Crawford was on PBC... Americana baby!!

It sounds weird to say cuz I don't feel he's got much mainstream attention still, but how many guys are doing numbers or gate like Thurman has been doing? Not many I'd assume.

Thurman is progressing nicely he just needs to keep fighting and winning and he will be there. He is still only 28 so he has some years left in him.

They should put him on PPV and see how popular he really is, who knows Thurman vs Porter/Berto winner might crack 300K

For sure, numbers don't lie

Step outside the boxing media and besides Pacquiao there aren't any mainstream boxing stars. Canelo has a large Mexican following but he's not known like Pacquiao. Thurman isn't pushed like GGG or Canelo are within the boxing community. But ever time he fights he's pulling in higher numbers than both of him. Looking at his numbers I'd have to say he's as known in the mainstream as Canelo and GGG.

I think Thurman should keep riding the PBC train. F#ck PPV til something makes sense & outside of Manny idk that anything makes sense right now + that fight seems unlikely. Making a PPV fight just to make a PPV fight makes zero sense.

Thurman/Pacquiao would do really, really well

Clearly one of the biggest names in the sport.

Thurman is definitely Al Haymons biggest cash cow.
