    were crawford and loma getting 3.4 a fight at 24?

    the answer to that is NOPE...so whatever is being done for tank is as good, if not better, than what was done for them
    What does age have to do with drawing a large crowd, ticket revenue, and tv ratings. Tank brought in a larger crowd than Crawford.

      The fact is, as I've said. Crawford is being overrated from a faulty 'eye test', he has not shown up at 147. People in his state just don't see a need to pay for his tickets.

      You know it's bad when Jeff Horn in Brisbane outdraws you in Omaha almost 4-1. LOL
      As a proud resident of Omaha, I can tell you Bud is a hero around here. While I agree, he isn't a national draw yet, comparing him to Horn's appeal in Australia is irrelevant. That is an entire country, and a major city, in a country that has always raised its fighters to a pedestal, regardless of how good they were.

        "hero" that people don't want to pay to see fight.

          Ok. I'm sure he's having a hard time. I forgot about NSB, everyone's extreme. You're either a bum or a HOF, either Canelo, or you're not a draw at all lol

            They impressive thing about this is Baltimore isn't a one horse town like Fresno (Ramirez) Omaha (Bud) and Toledo (Easter Jr). Baltimore has entertainment options. Nothing to do in those other cities.

              The Horn comparison is totally irrelevent, his last fight in Brisbane before Pac had 16 people and a dog in attendance, then he jagged a belt people heard of him. When he fought Pac at Suncorp stadium it was the first time boxing was there, it was the first time Pac fought in Aus, it was an event to itself and the QLD gov chipped in like $10M to make it happen. It was the one off of all one offs.

                Tank is 24 and already brought in higher numbers in his first hometown fight.



                Top prank is a joke.
                I agree TopRank is the worst! also Tank is exciting and Bud dances and holds onto a 12 round snooze fest unless its glass jaw opponent like Khan or that one dude who got shot in the leg like months before their fight.

                  I never once called Crawford a bum, I said he's overhyped on here and elsewhere due to the 'eye test'. And like Spence said about him on First Take, "yo eyes is lying to you".

                  I don't give a damn what the media wants to say. Until he can CLEARLY and CLEANLY beat 147lb contender, he isn't P4P anything except for asterisk wins.

                  You lie. Horn was popular due to the Bailey KO and he just drew 30k people who watched him put a legend in Anthony Mundine to sleep.

                  Yet Crawford couldn't pull half that number. People's 'eye test' P4P getting outdrew by school teachers and rugby players. LOL

                    At first I wasn't sure if you were joking/being sarcastic or not, seeing Horn didn't KO Bailey, then you called Mundine a legend and I knew you were.

                      Bro. Jeff Horn STOPPED Randall Bailey. That's called A TKO - a technical...WHAT?
