    There was definitely a difference in how Crawford was promoted compared to a few weeks ago with lomachenko but that might have to do with the weak ratings performance in the last top rank card. If you ESPN are you going to put Crawford in all your talk shows rerun old fights on prime time ESPN2 all week like you did lomachenko when all that only got you 700k viewers to tune in for the fight? Unless you paying ESPN they are not going to do extra promo for you.

      Seems like that's exactly why they should've done it. Just because it didn't work for one fighter doesn't mean it won't work for another. Looking at Crawford's HBO numbers compared to Loma's HBO numbers they should've known Crawford would get higher ratings. Or maybe they knew that and decided he didn't need as much promotion?

        Might as well just go along with it. I'd like to see him get pitted against these PBC fighters, anyways. Spence, Thurman, et al.

        Go for it Terence bud!
        He probably wants him to get infected with the massive inactivity going on in the PBC camp. Make an active fighter fight once a year.

        Yeah, go for it Bud. I want to see you fight Mikey after 5 years.

          Crawford is not that well known. Get some solid wins against bigger names, "Bud". Julius Indongo? Who the fuck is that? They tried to tout it @ ESPN as the biggest SLW unification bout since Pryor vs Arguello, but it was not.

            BRUH YOU ARE UGLY AF and overhyped, you fight TRASH CANS and act like a big shot. Maybe that has something to do with it. No one likes you bro GTFO of boxing.

              If you ask me, I want to see them all covered under one umbrella, so they can deal with the general problems affecting the sport properly. Maybe the only way it improves is see it go broke completely. If this is what this thread is all about. See Terence move over to PBC. Give them one fight per two years or so. Much like Mikey getting hungry after 2 years of inactivity.

                When was the last time Andy Ruiz and Jesse Vargas fought? Inactivity is a problem throughout the sport.

                    He's complaining his fight wasn't promoted by ESPN/Top Rank as much as the other two. Not sure what his IG has to do with ESPN/Top Rank promotion of the fight

                      I've really got to wonder what TC is reaching for here......because whatever he's doing he's reaching, because no one here can sit and give fact based reasons for why his fight was promoted a certain way....we can only speculate.

                      Man just became the unified, undisputed champ, TOP3 pound for pound in most books probably....

                      So all of the above and the man chooses to pick a fight with BOB/ESPN right now???

                      WTF is the kid thinking? Keep talking TC you'll get screwed over, not worth it.
