Is Crawford the next boxing ppv superstar

doubt so, i don't think there'll be another ppv star in a long time, i don't think even canelo can be one

I assume Manny Pacquiao declined the offer to play.

It's hard to say, I don't think so. He needs to beat someone like Pacquiao, Mayweather, Bradley or Cotto. A big name. He doesn't have that big name yet. He has good names like Gamboa, Postol, Beltran, Burns, Diaz, Indongo but no real big name fighter yet. Beating Horn won't do anything for TC, but Horn beating him will do a whole lot for him. I mean he will win his first 147 title by beating Horn, but as far as names go, Horn doesn't do much for him. TC is racking up a good little "B class" resume though.

It's too bad Roach/Pac/Arum don't want to make the fight vs TC, that would've really helped his career. Looks like they're helping out Lomachenko by giving him a shot at Pac, probably because he's small and they view him as the less dangerous fight "Loma can outbox us but likely can't KO us, TC can outbox us and KO us...let's go with Loma" type a thing.

Well he technically is already one. Floyd exaggerated what a PPV star is by setting the standards high. But really 300-500+ k consistently is a PPV star. Trinidad was no better than a 500k PPV star, but he was a PPV star nonetheless. He was seen as a star.

Canelo-GGG - 1.3m
Canelo-Cotto - 900k
Canelo-Lara - 300k
Canelo-Angulo - 350k
Canelo-Mayweather - 2.2m

5m+ PPV's in 5 fights is definitely a PPV star. And those 300-350k vs Lara and Angulo was pretty damn impressive.

Joshua is also a PPV star, granted only in the UK, but still he is one.

now you trolling..maybe Bobby wants to leave pacquiao for loma because he could be a bigger star. Look at the facts

Loma: two time gold medalist, white euro with flashy skills

Vs.

Bud: two time or so felon, slick brotha from da hood

Who you got??

[BillyBoxing]

He just got invited to play in the nba all star game, spencer and Thurman took an L here casuals don’t know them like they do Bud

Bob has been doing an awesome Job, he's getting Bud all the right fights through the divisions.

Again with Horn who is a great match up for bud.

But Bud isn't really charismatic like a young pretty boy, Oscar, Roy, Joshua or even like GGG who is a friendly guy to most people.

Plus, his btch talk about not being FOY shows how dumb he can be. Classless, so this guy isn't really interesting, he would have to play the villain role and it wouldn't even work lol

But being famous and being great are 2 different things.
