Hopefully, Top Rank will find a way to expose Crawford to a wider audience. Whether that be through appearances outside of boxing or a more aggressive demeanor for Bud, something needs to be done. (from a recent Boxingscene Article).
what does a "more aggresive demeanor" consist of? why not expand on how Crawford's persona needs to be more "aggressive"? since the writer didn't explain I'm just assuming you want Crawford to be a loud mouth. you want him to be flashy and flamboyant. but isn't that the reason why so many claim they hate Broner and Floyd? I read comments from fans in the UK who have similar issues with loud mouths like BJS and Eubank.
so no I disagree that Crawford must alter his persona to succeed. it is the promoters job to promote. what other meaning can this "aggressive demeanor" have? you want him to be a stand up comedian?
nobody tells Mikey Garcia, GGG or Loma to have a more "aggressive" demeanor.
not every talented fighter is destined for PPV success anyway. Roy Jones was the total package. unheard of talent and an "aggressive" demeanor. yet he never became a PPV attraction. you can count on one hand all the PPV stars in history. (Tyson, Floyd, Oscar, Manny and Canelo.)
Oscar, Manny and Canelo didn't/don't have an "aggressive" demeanor. their talents and performances sold/sells tickets. and we all know both Manny and Floyd piggybacked off Oscar.
in this upcoming card in terms of attraction I think that's Jeff Horn. and people will be surprised at the decent numbers this pulls. mainly due to Aussie fans. why are American boxing fans not as supportive towards American born fighters? that's the real question here.
what are your thoughts on this "aggressive demeanor"?why are American boxing fans not as supportive and enthusiastic like UK fight fans appear to be? if Andre Ward was British there's no way his mega fights with Kovalev flop twice on PPV. are so called hardcores/purists in the U.S. simply too cheap? what is it.
