That's what Oscar expected when he picked Khan to fight Canelo Nobody came out for Khan. More people traveled for Frampton this past weekend.

I think Khan paid these people to show up

American promoters don't do a good enough job promoting fighters in their home town/city before they move them to the big venues. What I mean by that is, if they prove to be very good championship level fighters they move them to one of the big fight venues in Vegas or New York too quickly. They end up in the Barclays centre, or one of the casino's in Vegas because of the money they are able to put up, whereas they would be better off building the fan base first taking a financial hit in the short term, so that once they do hit Vegas or New York they will be taking a built in fans base with them. In this way they will actually sell more tickets easier, and the gates will do better, rather than putting up fights in Vegas which are half empty with zero atmosphere.

This is the way UK promoters do it, obviously Ricky Hatton is an extreme example. The UK geographically isn't so big, word gets around faster, this creates a buzz and the fan base tends to grow a little quicker. But there is no reason why US fighters couldn't do better if they followed a similar system. I think Bob Arum has started to understand this, and for example, with Crawford he keeps taking him back to Omaha every couple of fights, and that is what I am talking about. Not every fighter is going to come from a part of the country where this strategy works, but in general I think the fighters, especially the real talented one's need to stay and build themselves in their home town first, or the nearest large city or town to them, so they can get a local following.

Arum has done exactly that with Crawford. His fans traveled to New York and Vegas. Arum even hooked up with a travel agency for packages to make the travel cheaper. But the problem is getting people outside of Omaha to embrace Crawford. But he's done a good job with what he has to work with. Crawford's personality is kinda dry

LMAO. That was pretty pathetic, to be honest.


I think the rest of his fans, if he has any, were smart enough not to travel to see Khan's funeral.

You just admit that Pacquaio failed to impose his will to change the fight from what Floyd normally does, according to you. Great. You just set game and match on yourself. So sorry that your savior couldn't control Floyd, looks like Floyd did the controlling. We call that ring generalship, by the way. Another reason Pac failed, being that it's one of the scoring criteria for the match, hmm?

what floyd normally does is give a boring fight and pac is to blame for that?

genius floyd fan logic at it's best.



It's an opinion. If you fail to see the point that he is making, then that's on you. You even agreed with him that he FAILED to make it an exciting fight because of Mayweather's will. I'm sure he would appreciate you agreeing.

it's a wrong opinion and you proved that "pac let everyone down" was wrong.



Yet you are the one who just ethered yourself. Good job.

Dude, do you have a brain? Is it connected to your eyes?

What red are you referring to, Spoon Jr.?

Once again, you've owned yourself. But if it's so important to you, I'll return some green to ya. Cheers!

---Edit---
Tried to send you green. Apparently I've already done so in the past, so it won't allow me to. Sorry about that.
