    Terrance Crawford not being promoted properly?

    Is Terrance Crawford being promoted correctly? This is a 4star fight and it is barely being promoted or talked about. He should be one of boxing biggest stars and fighting on network television. TopRank has him fighting on ESPN+ which will not do him any good. Lomachenko fought on ESPN I don’t see what would be the positive outcome of TC fighting on the ESPN app.
    Their has been multiple fighters accuse Arum of not knowing how to promote in the urban markets. Do you think Arum and TopRank need to re-evaluate the way they promote in the urban markets? Will Terrance Crawford join a list of elite boxers like Oscar, Floyd, Mikey, Cotto, JCCjr who left Arum on a bad note?

      Going to have a hard time with the poll since the thread title and post question are inverted (if you just read the thread title you will vote wrong).

      Yes though, they aren't making much of a name of Crawford, and now his fight is on some app-only bullshyt? IDK what happened but just a few years ago we had HBO and Show making great pre-fight hype vids, telling us about these guys and giving us reasons to root for them, to care about them. Now, you actually have to go out of your way to be a boxing fan.

        Truthfully, it's not like Errol Spence or the Charlos are household names either if we're just pointing out Arum. A lot of guys aren't being promoted properly.

          Agreed....

              It's a hard job to build a star out of Crawford. Good fighter but no star quality whatsoever. Similar to ward in that respect.

                Imo as an outsider looking in, no promoter in the US has been able to build a true boxing star since HBO started cutting their money to the sport.

                The last few to get a really big push on the network are probably the few big stars on the US scene.

                Wilder and Spence are probably the closest, but I can’t help but imagine how big they would be if they were being featured on a flourishing HBO boxing scene

                    he's much better to watch than ward. he needs to fight consistently vs top opponents and keep winning and fans will want to see him. he's never gonna be a huge star, cuz he lacks personality.
