ESPN+ app televising it

Why you crying b*tch?! You got your BS title defense with Gary Corcoran and you are complaining that you now have to fight a jr. Welterweight coming to see you at your weight?! GTFO! We should be getting Manny Pacquiao vs. Terence Crawford for the WBO and lineal title, Jeff Horn has gone far enough.

Wait the lineal title? This is 2018 not 2016. We will not see a 147 lineal champion for a while.

Apparently 'Pacman' and the 'Desert-Storm' were #1. #.2 after Mayweather retired, Manny beat Timmy -- I know you forget that E.Spence was barely making a name for himself and not even a champion or that DSG-Thurman had not happened -- Yeah the division was and still is trash, but T-Raw is going to sort this **** out.

Thanks! Lomachenko moves to 135, and his fight is on ESPN! Crawford moves to 147, and his fight is on the ESPN+ App! Yet we're to believe Crawford is the poster boy of ESPN? I don't think so!

Only on ESPN app. According to Fat Dan this is because Crawford is a commodity and they are using his huge popularity to push sales of the app.

I know, doesn't make sense to me either that this fight isn't on ESPN.

Why didn't they use Loma vs. Linares to push sales of the app?

[WesternChamp]

if he beats crawford it doesnt mean anything! he's not all that good!

I guess Loma isn't that popular so he has to "settle" for regular ESPN with 80 million potential viewers in primetime whilst Crawford reaps the benefits of the ESPN+ app.

I swear I wanted to choke Fat Dan when he posted that. F-cking BS spin!

Thats not spin at all its a fact. Crawford and Horn are getting paid much more to fight on the app then Linares Loma got paid. If they only get 100k new subscribers to watch this one fight alone that is an extra 6 million a year in revenue for Espn. Most likely they will get many more than that. Hence why Jeff horn is getting 2.5 mill for this fight while Linares only made 1 mill as the B side against Loma
