Comments Thread For: Crawford Ready For His Superstar Moment Under Vegas Lights

[Travycat]

Crawford could make a huge statement here after the Pac "loss" to Horn. If he blasts Horn out like Vegas says he will (he's a -2000 favorite to Horn's +900...wow that's lopsided as fuuuuuuuu--), there's no way Pac even would belong in the ring with him.

Gotta say for superstar Bud p4p he doesnt get much hype towards this next fight.
Apart from Horn and his trainers having abit to say ive not heard hardly anything at all from Crawford.
How is he meant to become a superstar if his company wont put him out their to the public.
He at least needs to do some interviews on ESPN before the bout.
Not sure if well even get to hear or see the weigh-in.
Top Rank should be ashamed.

Unfortunately Crawford seems to have a dull personality. That doesn't matter for hardcore fans but he'll never reach his full potential earnings unless he starts to be more outreaching .. and he could, it is a learnable skill.

Crawford will hurt and probably stop Horn before the bell for the 6th round. The only thing stopping that happening is the durability of Horn's chin.
Top Rank will be impressing on Team Crawford that this is a huge breakout (in the gen public's consciousness) fight so no messing around, 1 round to feel him out then get down to work and finish asap!

Yeah, it seems that as many people will tune in to see Horn get humbled as will tune in to see Bud fighting.

Isn’t this fight on an app?

I totally agree...however Top Rank obviously didn’t get the message that this is Bud’s “superstar moment” by NOT televising this fight. FFS, these guys only box once or twice a year!

Arum won't think twice about sacrificing Pacquiao to Crawford. That's why I hope Pacman stands up for himself and stays away from Arum and Top Rank.

im tempted to put some money on horn! lol.. the return back is too good to pass up on but horn has no chance to win at all.

And you'd expect that from a fighter like Pacquiao. Matthysse may not be in the top 5 at 147 pounds but some rankings have him in the top 10. At 39 Pacquiao continues to fight at a world championship level. That's why I wouldn't be surprised if he takes the Crawford fight. I personally wouldn't want him to but like you said, he might just go out as a warrior.
