Comments Thread For: Crawford-Horn Officials Named; Still Not Officially Announced

[MEXfistology]

Tony weeks is a referee that usually lets guys fight off the clinches , this favors Jeff horn a little bit since he's very physical

Clements is okay and the Italian is a little inconsistent but as it is not Adelaide Byrd I have no problem ...with the officials... it will not go the distance Bud will stop him by round 9...

Maybe it’s on ABC? I’d be surprised if it’s on PPV only a month away.

The NSAC’s assignment of judges and a referee were the first official signs that the card headlined by Horn-Crawford will take place April 14 at Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas.

Bob Arum’s Top Rank Inc., which promotes Crawford and co-promotes Horn, hasn’t officially announced the card, which will include two additional title fights.

Tickets haven’t gone on sale for the event, despite that it’ll take place four weeks from Saturday night. An announcement is “imminent,” a source told BoxingScene.com on Tuesday.

Arum initially indicated that the card would be an ESPN Pay-Per-View venture. That was when Filipino star Manny Pacquiao was expected to meet Mike Alvarado as part of the card.

Pacquiao ultimately declined that opportunity and is pursuing a fight against WBA welterweight champ Lucas Matthysse on June 24 in Malaysia.

Four weeks isn’t typically enough time to properly promote a pay-per-view event. Top Rank has an exclusive content deal with ESPN, but hasn’t confirmed whether the fight will air live on ESPN.

Tickets haven't gone on sale and it's out in Vegas. I didn't realize this fight was this close.

Four weeks isn't enough time to promote any card wtf???? But he made sure There's two months to promote the Lomachenko-Linares card.

April 28 on ESPN is free (depending on if no Game 7s.) Other than that May is out the question unless they go head to head with GGG-Canelo 2.

April 28 is not free. They are doing Jessie Hart and Bryant Jennings ESPN doubleheader that night

4 weeks out and nobody knows anything. This isn't normal for a big time fight. Maybe Horn is walking around at 200 lbs. It might not happen.
