Comments Thread For: Pacquiao, Crawford-Horn Double is Pay-Per-View Bound

[WesternChamp]

Maybe in australia but in usa it wont sell

Especially given that pac will never fight crawford so its not like they can say this is a buildup to a fight between the two

Pacquiao is being lined up to face the winner of Crawford vs. Horn by the end of the year.

Eh, I'd pay for it.

I won't need to it will be free here but if I had to I would.

Same here, its not everyday we get to see 3 top 5 welterweights on the same card. Crawford Horn alone is a big enough fight for me to not having a problem dishing out a little money to see it, in fact I think im going to take my kids to see it at MSG. These so called boxing fans are crying when theres 3 top fighters on the same card yet they have no problem dishing out 100 bucks for Mayweather Mcgregor.

If the card turns out to be Crawford/Horn and Manny/Alvarado as rumored, the thought it would be a PPV is disgraceful.

Neither of these fights is a PPV worthy fight. Both fights will likely be KO wins for Crawford and Manny.If the plan is to set up Crawford/Manny (which I like many others want but doubt is actually the plan) then it seems you want to maximize the number of people seeing it.

I had hoped ESPN would use PPV for fights like Loma/Berchelt or Spence/Crawford where there are competing promoters that are reluctant to make the best fights. Not TR garbage.

TC v Horn is a good fight and no one should underestimate the Aussie. Pac v Alvarado would be ****e but its part of an undercard, with the two winners obviously fighting each other.

Arum obviously is expecting Pac v TC later in the year and I am fine with that.

[Bluebird]

I'm thoroughly confused. So Pacquiao is on the undercard on in ESPN PPV event with Crawford against a school teacher in NYC??? And this is a set up for him to face the winner of the main event??

How the mighty have fallen...


Pacquiao should thank Mayweather for keeping him relevant for so long.

Pac earned #1 pound for pound status without Mayweather, his PPV numbers declined when Arum kept matching him with top rank fighters. Bradley was the only one in pound for pound rankings.

Pac earned #1 pound for pound status without Mayweather

Yeah, when Mayweather was inactive.

[WesternChamp]

Yeah, when Mayweather was inactive.

and that's manny's fault??

Manny PLEASE retire.

What more do you want from boxing.

The best thing that can happen to Manny at this point is to lose AGAIN to someone he is supposed to beat so he can finally retire (hopefully).

Same thoughts here. I don't think he will.

[JakeTheBoxer]

I only wanna see Manny against Matthysse or Lomachenko. Nothing else matters.

[BoxingIsGreat]

I don't mind seeing the Pacman make a quick buck, but this isn't PPV worthy, even with Matthysse as the opponent.

Have you seen how shot and clueless Matthysse himself looked in his last fight? It was painful to watch. Alvarado? Nah!

All these three have taken one too many punches to the head and should walk away before they get seriously hurt against someone good, a live dog.
