Comments Thread For: Arum Suggests Crawford's Next Fight Won't Be Televised by HBO

[Scipio2009]

bromer got 700k for klimov while crawford got almost 1.4mil for postol. Nice try though.

Crawford gets over 10k in all his fights in Omaha and had almost 8k in Vegas for postol so U lost There too.

And stop lying in saying it's easter's 2nd bounce card in a month when the other one was in February. We're heading into June.

Nice try's though. Gotta give u credit.

Bounce is low budget shows. Look at their list of shows and fights.

There's no Klimov on Broner's ledger, so my assumption is that you were actually trying to reference Khabib Allakhverdiev, a fight that Broner's own company controlled all proceeds for (unless you were just throwing out a nonsense name).

About Billions Promotions picked up what Showtime was willing pay for the comeback fight, the UK fee for the fight from BoxNation, the proceeds from pretty much selling out a 17k-seat building in Cincinnati, and the rest of the proceeds. With all of those revenues coming into About Billions Promotions, if you honestly believe that all Broner saw was $750k, you're a fool.

Top Rank got the proceeds from the gate, the rights fee from HBO, the fee for the UK TV, the event sponsors, and the host of other revenues on the event in Las Vegas, and paid Crawford his almost $1.4m; not a genius or anything, there was far more money than $1.4m that ended up being cleared on that Postol fight, and Crawford saw what his purse was.

In a month's time, Easter Jr headlines another show from Toledo, OH on BounceTV, a show that will be the second time that he's headlining on BounceTV. work on that syntax understanding.

lol at boner having his own promotional company. its just marketing bs

About Billions Promotions, according to BoxRec, has formally put on 6 events (with the full figure murky, as Andrew Williams and his R&R Promotions company seemed to have been in the mix before About Billions Promotions was able to formally have their license).

Warriors Boxing and Mayweather Promotions have clearly helped with understanding the logistics of putting on an event (Marshall Kaufman's King's Promotions has helped too), but that doesn't change the reality that About Billions Promotions has put on the shows that it's put on.

The number of boxing shows has declined dramatically since Peter Nelson replaced Ken Hershman. It might not make much difference in the grand scheme of things but have ditched HBO because of that.

i couldn't have said it any better. You are 100% spot on bro

In other words once again HBO getting in the way of unification just because is Crawford vs Indigo , Crawford should fight in Indigo hometown then don't give a chance to put your name in the record books

If Ward beats Kovalev again and walks to Showtime (with the rumors of HBO blowing up at him for the Face-Off, yet not saying **** to Kovalev when he missed the face-off in front of a PPV audience that may have topped 1m PPV homes, I don't see Ward and his camp being all that happy to stick around with HBO), you're down two names.

Chocolatito getting beat (he's already beyond where he's physically maxed out, and fighters at those weights don't really last beyond 30 anyway) doesn't help either. JoJo Diaz is about ready to build for his own shows, but that's about it (running a 130lb tournament can also help fill a few dates).

I just don't see HBO having even a 12-card year without Top Rank at this point. Three Alvarez shows (two of which likely for PPV, so HBO replays), maybe three Golovkin shows), a solo shot for JoJo Diaz (who'll likely get put onto Alvarez's bills when possible), a couple shows for the 130lbers, and then the rest of the shows basically as Boxing After Dark featuring prospects.

For the cost of your HBO subscription (folks who have the channel solely for boxing and the occasional movie), I doubt that that is enough to keep folks around.

sadly enough I'm the dumba$$ that has kept that HBO subscription for boxing. I tried to rationalize dropping HBO or SHO, looked at the schedule and couldn't do it. PPV replays are keeping me at this point. 😂

I have both too. But I would, even if I weren't a Boxing fan, because my wife likes having all the channels, for movies and stuff.

Arum is 85 and still works and makes tons of money, why doesn´t he retire and enjoy his money???? He coul still have a lot of women because of his money and Viagra.

If Crawford's last name didn't have any vowels he'd already have an HBO date lined up

I've never seen a name without vowels LOL.

I just hope Its on a TV channel we get here. Thats all I care about. Not some online crap, because I'd rather Watch on TV, then try to Watch on my little laptop screen.

Haymon and Hearn are partners in a Sky Box Office event that will likely put 30,000 people into Brammal Lane to watch their hometown hero; find it hard to view that as Hearn and Haymon being on the outs (made less plausible by the reality that Callum Smith and Anthony Dirrell are set to fight on relatively neutral grounds).

Trying to bring up Beterbiev-Barrera is also a red herring, in that Barrera backed out of a fight that Michel/Beterbiev were set to take to Florida with a TV date in mind though no finalized (Beterbiev-Koelling is also set to be finalized with a US TV date that makes the most sense for everyone).

The same could be said about trying to talk up strife between Selby and Hearn (who was afforded the opportunity to fight on Hearn's show after his US opponent came up with a bad blood test).

nice try, though

wrong again. Smith and Dirrell and Brook Spence are mandatories. The Spence fight is in the U.K. Because as the champ heresy 75% of the purse. Hearn has all the leverage over Haymon on this fight but not Dirrell callum. There are videos of Hearn dissing Haymons business plan.

Nice try though
