Comments Thread For: Bob Arum: Crawford-Khan Is A Splendid Pay-Per-View Event

[Smash]

they should really make it a true ppv event, as in you only pay for what u see, in khans fights, u mightnt be paying for long ^^

I look forward to watching the twitter feed during the fight. I don't know of any bar in 100 miles that would pay to show this fight.

Sure I'll watch Khan get ktfo out for the umpteenth time but I wont be paying for it...I dont believe in paying for sporting events, that's what streams are for, wont be giving Bob or Khan any of my hard earned money.

Imagine if these different platforms could agree to do one amalgamated PPV a year? kinda like a wrestlemania/all star game/ world series/super bowl kind of event for boxing if you will? there would be so much anticipation, the possible match ups are endless and the interest from fans and media would be world wide. Double main event involving the likes of Wilder, or Tank, Spence, vs names like Fury, TC, Loma, etc etc. Why haven't the real power brokers decided to come up with something like this?....once a year, like dec31.

Because fighters are too greedy & wouldn't want the other main event to ruin their payday. And then think about it theres not even that many famous fighters as it is,the fact that there'd be multiple main events wouldn't make fans pay for ppv who warent going to otherwise,pretty much most fans just buy ppv when their favs are fighting anyways,there's very few who would buy ppv just because of multiple main events as the reason most don't buy ppv is because their not die hard boxing fans & haven't been led to believe the fighters are worthy of their ppv ala May v pac who they were told would be the greatest fight of all time for 6 yrs straight.

"Top Rank offered former welterweight and junior welterweight champ Danny Garcia (34-2, 20 KOs) a $4 million guarantee to face Crawford. Angel Garcia, Danny’s father/trainer, never responded to Top Rank’s offer."

Top Rank wanted Terence Crawford-Danny Garcia pay-per-view fight in March 2019

November 27, 2018:

The offer, presented by Moretti during a phone call with Angel: $3 million guaranteed plus upside of the pay-per-view revenue. The plan was for Crawford-Garcia to headline Top Rank’s first PPV show on ESPN. Of course, Garcia is aligned with PBC, meaning he fights exclusively on Showtime/FOX...

duBoef and Moretti say the offer was made directly to Angel rather than Al Haymon to ensure the fighter received information about the opportunity. Top Rank chairman and Haymon haven’t done business with each other in years, so they claim there was fear Haymon wouldn’t present such an offer to his fighter.

“I don’t know who to present to with these guys,” duBoef argued. “They say they’re the promoter, they’re not the promoters. They say they’re the agents, they’re not the agents.”

If Angel told Moretti they wanted to discuss the fight further, duBoef says, at that point Top Rank would have reached out to Haymon to try and hammer out the deal. “I just want to make sure these guys get the offer,” he said.

“They know who represents these guys. We’re a management company, we’ve always been a management company,” Tim Smith, vice president of communications for PBC, told The Ring. “Phone numbers haven’t changed.”

Funny how they fail to mention that they made the offer after Danny was already scheduled to fight Granadas.
