Terrance Crawford not being promoted properly?

[The D3vil]

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.

Andre Ward's very personable.

Yeah, he's not a loudmouth or anything, but the guy is a good boxing commentator and can hold a conversation very well.

I was watching Crawford with Teddy Atlas yesterday and the dude barely said 8 words for the whole hour

Yeah, less holding Bud rarely breaks the fight; he always boxes.

But Bud has been boring and fighting like a computer lately, I guess his oppo at 140 never made him bring his A complete game, he could beat them to death just using the same 2 punches for 36 minutes.

I hope Horn makes him fight a deep fight.

Bud vs Gamboa was a classic.

I actually think that Horn is awkward and tough and will be a difficult 1st test for Crawford at his new weight.

He'll win handily of course, but I don't just expect him to walk through Horn. He can take a beating as we saw in the Pacquiao fight and doesn't hesitate to get down and dirty

Since Arum went with lousy commercial crazy ESPN he hasn't done a good job of promoting any boxer. Boxing is low priority on ESPN and I have missed title fights because they showed some other sport instead. On the taped shows they have two minute commercials in the one minute break between rounds, When they return to boxing the round has already been on a while. I have to tape it first and watch it later so I can fast forward through all the damn commercials.

I'm pissed he's fighting on the app. And they made him fight a unification on PPV. Crawford & Horn had two of the highest rated shows on ESPN. Why are they on the app? And let's talk about Crawford's inactivity. He hasn't fought in 10 months and they throw him on the app. And dont forget this was originally scheduled for ESPN PPV. Crawford is the guinea pig for Top Rank

Cobra you’re the one who convinced me to get the app a few days ago. It won’t download to my television though which is ******. Who wants to stream a championship fight through a phone or computer when majority have a large flat screen. You may be on to something though there mite be something going on behind closed doors.

fyi "Crawford " im not pacquiao" is one of the top headlines on the espn.com main page headlines....they are pushing....its late...but they are trying to get peoples attention...at least it was up there an hour ago...not currently

[THEFRESHBRAWLER]

It's almost as if Arum doesn't want the world to see Crawford starch the guy who got a win over his former cash cow, Pac.

I don’t know what it is but I don’t think it’s a good idea to put arguably the p4p best fighter on a new app. Why couldn’t it be on the app and on regular espn

Thats why I keep telling people this is ******. Until you can download it on your TV or it comes pre-installed. You can stream it to your TV by connecting an HDMI cord or you have to buy a chromecast and connect it to your wifi & download the Google home app to your phone or the google chromecast extension on your laptop thru the google chrome browser.

Now tell me why a casual fan is gonna do all that just to watch a fight smh

I liked some of the fights they’ve gave us on ESPN but this app idea is horrible. ESPN+ should be for prospects only.

I have a smart tv, but I won't pay for that app. If I can't stream it by some other means, then I'll wait for YouTube.

It's an unwelcomed & unecessary hoop to have to jump through to watch a boxing match.
