Zero Promotion for Crawford vs Horn?

[Thraxox]

Anybody find it odd that this fight has ZERO promotion at all? No press, no face off, no nothing. Even if this is viewed as a one sided fight, this is boxing where anything can happen and Horn has the size and hunger to make it competitive.

Horn's team are literally the only one talking for it to be promoted. Even if you are not a boxing fan, at least the casual fans would tune in because of the few ads on this ,but I've seen 0 so far and the fight is a week away.

Yeah, no commercials, its sad.

Crawford needs to be built up, didnt see him or horn on first take or any other espn show either.

How are they going to make crawford vs spence down the line if neither guy is known in the mainstream.

If i were crawford and soence sign to ufc boxing, dana white jusr secured a huge deal with espn and he will also put on boxing shows on the channel.

Dana white knows how to market and promote fighters, look how he built up ronda rousey and conor

Still 2 weeks away right? Itll be on espn plus. Im sure theyll kick up the promotion. I mean its espn. They can promote something full on for 4 days and get mil or two viewers. Its not like showtime who promotes fights six months ahead and still get 500k viewers.

Ahh hell...i guess they do need a little promotion haha. I thought it was weekend after next on 12th or somethin

Yeah not sure what is going on but it is disgraceful. Not many threads on this forum about it, none of the youtube Boxing Commentators are talking about or breaking down this fight on top of it being on ESPN+

Televised on an obscure new app that few have purchased yet.

This whole thing is ****ing bizarre.

I agree Horn has been carrying the promotion. From Australia and since getting here to America. Crawford isn't really a talker he does his talking in the ring.

The problem is the fight being on that app. Crawford shouldn't be fighting on that damn app. People are really underestimating the laziness of casual fans if they think they're going to put in the effort to download an app just to watch Crawford.

[Cadet Bonespurs]

They are promoting the app, not the fight. The fight is just a tool to promote the app.

It seems like it would be really weird/silly if the ESPN channels didn't have any sort of commercials for it.
