    Comments Thread For: The Danger of The Crawford-Horn & Pacquiao-Alvarado PPV

    by Andreas Hale - Top Rank and ESPN are about to jump into the pay-per-view business in 2018 on April 14th with Terence Crawford vs. Jeff Horn and a co-main event of Manny Pacquiao vs. Mike Alvarado. Are you excited? Honestly, few are anticipating this fight because there's a lack of mainstream appeal and nothing has been done to move the needle that would have fans excited to open their wallets for this pay-per-view.

    The only way Id be ok with this as a PPV is if it had Loma fighting Linares and Pac fighting Matthysse. As it stands Pac is in a mismatch, and Crawford will probably light Horn up as well.

      I think it fares quite well. Cracking right under 1mil. Canelo vs. GGG a good few weeks away. No other Boxing PPV. Broner cant sell like he cant keep out of trouble.

          Decent article

          It's a sh.it PPV and made even more obvious when you look at the other fights going on around that time

          PAC / Vargas is a joke and it's a shame how TR is milking Mannys last days to benefit their company and just dragging it along until they can take his soul for one of their chosen fighters ( Loma , Bud ) to catapult their name.

          Horn / Crawford isn't that bad of a fight for what it is

          And the Magdaleno fight is legit

          Predict it'll do 250-325k PPV

          Regrettably I'll probably buy this borderline sh.it

                  If Pacquiao is going to be fighting the likes of Alvarado it's time to walk away.

                    We know already that Pacquiao vs Alvarado is a mismatch but the only confirmation we have that Horn is PPV material is that he gave Pacquiao a hard fight and won a disputed decision over him. This is Crawford's first PPV headliner because the public is just getting to know him against an Australian who most of us on this forum even wouldn't recognize if we walked past him. Yeah good luck with that, you're going to need it.
