Comments Thread For: Arum: Pacquiao, Crawford-Horn Double Would Be ESPN PPV

[Removed Now]

Wouldn't hold my breath on Canelo at this point, as he's basically been able to cultivate a PPV base of 400k-500k homes that'd pay to watch him blow over a broom if it disrespected Mexico enough.

Assuming he beats Golovkin for the WBA/IBF/IBO belts (the WBC heads over to the Charlo-Centeno winner), a fight with WBO champ Billy Joe Saunders is PPV, a fight against Daniel Jacobs is PPV, and I'm fairly certain that the Derevyanchenko mandatory defense could be finessed into being PPV as well (The Canelo Alvarez Show finally goes to New York, or some other tagline).

Given the 4 fights for 2018-2019, HBO has a bit of time to build the next challenger after that (Demetrius Andrade coming onto form would work).

What if he loses, Saunders moves up and Jacobs fights GGG then moves up? What then? He's not beating the Charlo brothers.

Stop with the PPV! Casuals will not buy it and true fans who grind an 9 to 5 are also not going to buy it. Really who would pay to watch an old pac man or horn? Leave PPV for Floyd or the heavyweights. Canelo is running out of opponents to fight for ppvs after GGG.

PPV for Heavyweights?!? The ONLY heavyweight PPV would be D.Wilder/A.J. that's it. Nelo has a few guys at 160 that is PPV worthy like Jacobs & Jermall. Some other guys like Boo Boo need to pick up the pace so they can get in some of these fights at 160....

I mean like historically speaking they are the ones who lead boxing during the golden Era. As for Canelo he's an big draw with Mexicans yes. But those fights are subpar ppv shows honestly. I wouldn't pay and casuals wouldn't pay. That's not growing the sports. That's the point of my post. The UFC is doing it right and PBC to an point.

Arum is such a scum bag.

Nobody wants Crawford-Horn OR Loma-Pac

And this will be the first time Pac is an undercard fighter in like 10+ years.

Thats a real **** move by Arum, pac refused the Pac-Horn trilogy because he knew he was setup and now Arum offers him an undercard fight on a Horn main event.


People wanted Pac-Crawford or even Loma-crawford and Arum gives us this bull **** and now wants to charge PPV for it.

Theres always a method to Bobs madness.

Lol people saying a card with Manny isn't PPV worthy, YEAH RIGHT HAHA! So many people are quick to forget, disgraceful. If Manny returns it's PPV and you will watch it.

Why brag about having ESPN as a platform to bring boxing back to the masses if you gonna do ppv? Bob arum Is a ****ing joke

Told y’all stop riding top rank like they doing something major

mannys last ppv was a top rank ppv vs vargas cause nobody else was gonna pay for that shlt

manny vs mike alvarado is not a ppv

arum said pac vargas did about 300k.. now do you even believe that?

Just throw that **** on regular ESPN and Pacquaio's name alone will probably get 5m TV's tuned in and they will stick around for the main event see Crawford kick ass and he'll be must see TV for the people who watched and his profile will grow. Sure, you may lose money on this event but it's well worth the investment.

Even on regular t.v. they would make alot of money. Pacquiao and Crawford on the same card, the gate would be huge and people all over the world would watch. Of course Pacquiao always makes big money from Phillipines T.V. rights. Might be on Australian ppv with Horn on the card

Both are 1 sided fights, but has to be PPV because they can't pay both guys on regular ESPN. Should just separate it on 2 different shows.
