    I wonder how Crawford feels about fighting on the undercard.

    If it leads to a Pacquiao fight in the fall, it makes sense. Otherwise, I don't get it.

          So basically what we have here is Arum trying to bolster Crawford's PPV numbers using Manny, while sticking Manny on the undercard fighting a washed-up fighter in Alvarado, while Manny himself is also way past his prime.

          Can't say I'm interested in this card at all. Crawford vs Horn is fair but Manny vs Alvarado is trash.

          Arum needs to secure Mattysee, it's the least he could do since he wants us to pay for this. And stack the undercard, no Michael Conlan or Stevenson Shakur fights. I want to see Christopher Diaz and another top contender, not prospects fighting bums.

            This is a bad card for ESPN to experiment with PPV

            There is no marquee matchup, even casual fans get that Pacquiao is way past it, Crawford is a terrific fighter, but he hasn't become a big national draw yet. I think this is a bad move.

            The price of the PPV will have a big impact on buys. For $10-20, I think they'll do 250,000 buys. If they go for a $50-60 range, they'll be lucky to break 50,000 buys.

              Crawford fighting on the undercard, that would be pretty ****** if Alvarado is the opponent for Manny.

                If the best Arum can do is match Pac with Alvarado, Pac should just retire and don’t let Arum manipulate him to become a stepping stone for nobody. And don’t be another Roy Jones, Pac ... you’ve done enough!!!

                    Heh, MSG you say.

                    If Pac wasn't washed I would definitely buy a ticket. IDK if I can go watch this version of Pacman tho.

                      His only legitimate losses since 2000 remain Morales (2005), Marquez (2012), and Mayweather (2015).
