Regis Prograis says Crawford hasn't been tested by anyone like him

[boliodogs]

Prograis just got beat by a 140 pounder. Highly unlikely he beats Crawford. He is a good fighter but Crawford is bigger, faster, hits harder and is just all around a little bit better. Crawford wins in my opinion and probably by KO. Prograis needs to beat Taylor before talking like he can beat Crawford.

i like prograis alot...but i agree wholeheartedly...but that crawford pay is better...and thats what most of these guys are after.....the pay and the chance that the other guy has an "off night"...

He trying to talk his way into a title shot instead of earning one. Move up to 147 and position yourself to be mandatory. Prograis is not a star and doesn't get to skip the one line just like mean Machine couldn't. Mean machine would be a good fight for Prograis 147 debut.

I bring up the difficulty due to Crawford's PPV numbers and two networks working together and your response is two fighters on the same network. You didn't pay attention to anything I said. Out of the hundreds of PPV fights this Wilder Fury PPV is only the third time two networks have gotten together to do a PPV. That's how rare this situation is. Yet you choose to ignore it.

I asked you what would be a reasonable ppv split. Even if Pacquiao vs spence does 700k, it doesn't mean Crawford should be given less than 40% imo.

It's to early to say what a fair split should be and I explained why. Lots can happen between now and the second half is 2020. Some of the biggest factors will be this Wilder Fury fight, Spence's next PPV numbers, Crawford's next fight being on PPV or not, and if Fox feels they can make more money inhouse than they would with another joint PPV with ESPN

It’s a good fight. Crawford is proven to be chinny, Prograis can test that chin.

It should happen. It’s a real good fight. Any fight round welter junior or super with a top 5 fighter is a damn good fight.

Sure. As long as Bud and his team aren't demanding a 50/50 split. If they are then Bud can continue fighting Top Rank retreads on ESPN and ESPN Plus while Errol continues to fight top 5 Welterweights on PPV.

I agree. Crawford cant think he will get 50% with a weak resume like his. Spence took bigger fights and deserves a bigger share of the pie. I dont care about what these guys make but thats the business side of boxing.

That's a hellova fight. Prograis is skilled, a puncher, in his prime and eager to prove himself coming off his first loss. It would be the best win on Bud's resume.
