Comments Thread For: Crawford, Postol Deal in Place For July 23 on HBO PPV

Yikes, I don't see either of these guys being PPV worthy. They need some pretty damn low purses to have a chance at turning profit.

It's basically their test to see if they can get better PPV reaction by putting an American as a headliner instead of a foreigner.

Wow!! Great fight. Don't know about PPV though. It must going to be like $24.95.

PPV???? This fight is barely a Friday Night Fight on ESPN let alone a PPV. This is exactly why the sport is dying.

Well I've began to notice something in regards to fights and getting shown @ movie theaters
Mayweather vs JMM/Mosley/Cotto/Maidana/Berto/Guerrero and Canelo were all shown at theaters
Canelo vs Angulo/Lara/Cotto and now Khan have all been shown @ theaters
I've yet to see a Pacquiao/Top Rank card being shown @ Movie Theaters, so going off that, unless things change, I doubt Crawford-Postol will be shown @ theaters.

Interesting... I hadn't noticed that. That seems kinda bogus. Wonder if Top Rank charges for their premium fights off their website?

He's lying Pacquiao-Bradley 3 was shown in movie theaters. Tickets we're being sold on fandango.

I don't know what kind of deals will be cut for Crawford Postol PPV, but I guess it is possible to be at theaters

dude grow up i'm, I'm not lying, IF Pacquiao-Bradley 3 was in theaters, I was completely unaware, and didn't see a thing for it. I didn't say it never happened, I just said and I quote, "I've never heard of a Top Rank event being done at the movie theaters" not saying as an absolute.

I've read in the Phillipines Pac fights are frequently shown @ theaters.

The fact that it's being brought to my attention now, almost 3 weeks after Pac-Bradley proves my point. Plus the links I clicked nobody reviewed it. So this event allegedly came off in movie theaters and not a single review?

whenever a Mayweather, Cotto or Canelo fight was brought to the theaters, it makes the press, with an article, (usually with quotes by Oscar De La Hoya or Ellerbe) on here and ticket/event info are made available off fathomevents.com

**around the time of Pac-Bradley 3 I didn't see a thing on fathomevents.com

plus stating it after the fact doesn't really help your case.


the night of Bradley-Pacquiao 3, I saw the top rank website had the free untelevised undercard available .. as well as the PPV card for purchase.
