Comments Thread For: Crawford-Benavidez Does Big Ratings For ESPN

[deanrw]

Been telling ya'll Crawford got a bigger fanbase than what he gets credit for. The fighters my casual friends text/call me about are in no particular order

Crawford
Broner
Canelo
GGG
Spence
Wilder
D. Garcia

Used to ask about Keith Thurman before he disappeared

But But But Crawford is a big money loser for Top Rank doe (according to WBC WBA IBF) because Bob Arum obviously loves to lose money. Crawford gets no ratings and cannot sell tickets (also according to the same dude) LOL

[Removed Now]

Arum is starting to bet on black again and its working.

He was losing on Bradley I thought he was giving up hope lol.

Actually I think its being looked over that the opponent was Mexican or a chicano anyway. The fact it did 80% better numbers than Bud vs Indongo gives it away.

If you build fights with Mexicans they will come.

But if Bud can continue with these sorta numbers vs these Russian or Soviet state guys (no clue where these guys are from exactly off the top of my head) that Arum is gonna be throwing at him fair play.

I agree.

This is the only demographic that is either holding steady or growing in US boxing.

How many Mexicans on this list????? Don’t forget Mayweather McGregor is 2 now.



We shouldn’t even be talking about race anyway smh. Mexicans, Europeans, African Americans, Caucasian Americans Asians etc. all support boxing. There’s no data tracker that tracks race of viewers. It’s ****** to even be discussing it.

Great Point! I have to agree, I think it is slap in the face to the Rest of boxing fans to not acknowledge that when it is a big fight...ALL FANS Regardless Race/Ethnicity tune in not just 1 Demographic

Saw Warren Buffet in the audience standing.

One of the wealthiest guys in the world is not even keen on watching the fights by the ring side.

Most people who tuned in will have been dissapointed and wont tune in again. Expect the figures to drop for the mean machine fight and ras*****

Wrong lol you Mexicans really think you are the only ones to support boxing. It was way more Americans in the crowd. Not to make this an American vs Mexican thing but you are not the only ones who support boxing. Anthony Joshua is the biggest star in the sport how many Mexicans are in the UK watching him?

Mexican fan base is important. Ask your boyfriend Mayweather who was living on Mexican Holidays for his fights so they support his boring ass.

Let's not forget the pathetic attempt of adding Chavez jr vs Angulo as a co-main to the Wilder/Fury card. You think they are adding that fight because it's in high demand? Please.

That was a very good fight.


People will tune into anything if it is promoted and hyped right.
