    That crowd was amazing tonight.

    It was like a mini-Cornhuskers game with how loud it was.

    This sport could use more fighters with a rabid local following like that.
    Where the fans in some of these towns get very passionate about the hometown guy.

    That's one area where PBC really dropped the ball. They had James Degale fighting Andre Dirrell in freaking Boston.

    I agree, great crowd. I went to see Sammy Vasquez In Pittsburgh and they were the same way with him as Nebraska Is with Crawford.

        I think they would actually fill up that stadium for a Pacquiao fight. It would be a perfect passing of the torch moment.

        But this being boxing and Bob Arum that is just going to be another missed opportunity.

          I bet why could sell it out too. It would be one of the biggest events to come to Nebraska in forever, besides college football.

              LOL

              That may be true but that is why it's good to spread the boxing love to some of these smaller cities. They get passionate and support the local fighter.

              It doesn't always have to be casinos, LA, and NYC all the time.

                    If Arum fooks this up I'll be so pissed off. That would be huge.

                    Yeah I agree. Nebraskins love their big sporting events. They would definitely come out for a Crawford-Pac fight.
