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

The question is simple.

When did Adrien Broner have this Klimov fight that you insist on hanging your hat on?

Try to minimize it all you want, About Billions Promotions got the Showtime rights fee (off which it was disclosed that Broner got at least $700k), About Billions got the proceeds on the live gate, and About Billions got a share of all of the other revenues that went into the event. About Billions got the pie, and then likely settled the back-end money with Adrien Broner (owner of About Billions Prmotions).

Terence Crawford can sell whatever you want to claim that he's sold in Las Vegas or NYC; it doesn't change the reality that he doesn't own his event. Bob Arum paid him a purse, and Top Rank kept all of the proceeds on the back-end.

still waiting on that Klimov answer, too

khabib. I mix up the names. U said he had 17k in attendance. I sent u the link from the cincy newspaper showing only 5,932 showed up to the the over to the 65% employ arena.

Those are facts. Wasn't much of a gate to worry about

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