Comments Thread For: Arum: Crawford vs. Spence is Big Enough For Co-PPV Event

[Butch.McRae]

If TR's Eastern European fighters are better than DSG, Porter, or Thurman, why make offers to Collazo and DSG? Why offer DSG $2 million dollars less than Khan? DSG did beat Khan by KO! Is Crawford vs. Khan a "joint" PPV?

Bes***** is ranked #1 by the WBA, and Kavaliauskas is ranked #1 by the WBO. Line them up, and make the fights! I'm sure Crawford would be thrilled to fight them! Lol! Why not make an offer to Pacquiao?

Because someone like Algeri would give those guys hell lol He knows that

If the Spence ppv does at least 300k buys and crawfords is decent then he is right. Both are backed by legitimate network sports powerhouses who would likely both promote the fight on their respective networks. Spence has to get by mikey first, right mikey off of you want to, be has forgotten more about boxing than Spence has learned at this point.

Arum knows that Crawford doesn't want those fights! Crawford wants champions, and at least former champions! He didn't want Collazo either! Arum has to make something happen, because he knows Crawford is pissed, having to watch Pacquiao and Mikey doing BIG things! I think Arum is fearful that Crawford might be the next star (Oscar, Floyd, Cotto, and Mikey) to leave for better opportunities!

Arum's worst nightmare would be a victory by Mikey Garcia!

Of course not.

Let's wait until both of their PPV numbers come out to claim that. Both would have to get close to a million.

What I would have liked to see is a trade with Spence/Crawford on FOX PPV and Garcia/Lomachenko on ESPN PPV.

But that makes to much sense

With all the streaming and what not and the fact that Crawford nor Spence are ppv stars not a master of the craft marketing themselves that fight isn't doing any more than 1m buys really it'd probably do around 500k buys either number isn't worth co promoting to me to co promote a fight excpect it to do 2m or above numbers. Only maybe 2 fights in boxing would do those numbers PAC vs mayweather 2 or Wilder vs AJ in Vegas ( really that'd probably sale around 1-1.5m in the USA).

Of course. As funny as it may sound to some, I think Garcia/Spence will be a closer fight than Crawford/Khan.

Khan knows how to lose, and has many holes in his game. Mikey Garcia doesn't know how to lose and his game is solid. Many thought Roberto Duran would get throttled when he bumped up to fight SRL. Similar size difference.

I agree. Chin Khan will compete for awhile and then get knocked out. Mikey just may surprise!

[hectari]

The only way this fight gets done is if crawford vs Khan gets more ppv buys than spence vs mikey garcia

Because if spence does bigger numbers he will tell bud to step up his game, and claim buds numbers are too low. we already seen spence bark saying who is terence crawford and compared money.

Crawfoed could do big numbers like 350 to 500k buys and hell still call out spence.

Crawford is the best at welterweight.
