Essential The Official Boxing Random Thoughts Thread...All boxing heads ENTER.

So, people kept saying that Crawford sold out the venue which proves he's a draw


Come to find out, he DID sell out the venue....however the venue only held 5,092 people





I see what TR, Arum, and HBO was trying to do by constantly saying "it's sold out"

I thought this was common knowledge... That small room looks tiny af on TV

Get paid 1.2 million, only do 5K in attendance

Where are all the Boxing accountants at??

nah u aint selling out big stadiums with names like lundy any way unless u Floyd or sum shyt.

even u always argue that Floyd needed other big draws to do his big numbers.

pplus I don't think anyone claims Crawford is a huge world draw anyway cause hes not yet....which is why the pac fight was the one that could help grow him into a star(provided he won).

and yeah he probably was overpaid but yall know I don't be on here bashing haymon for paying fighters like he do so..

Crawford's not overpaid imo though, because he's at worst the 2nd best Boxer at 140 by anyone's ranking. He deserves million dollar paydays, because he's a Top dog at the class

it would be too much for JMM size wise to fight cotto...but for some reason i think prov would make it hot for cotto...one thing that empties cotto's tank for sure is pressure..esp from someone who i am sure can take his punches

I could see Cotto losing too. Provo will put that pressure on him.

 

[yo moms]

lmao my nan was speaking about the frampton quigg fight and even she whos just a real casual fan said they would both get beat by "that little cuban"

true but I guess I was going based off his comp. everyone knew lundy pretty much food which is why i didn't like the fight for Crawford.

I was okay with his first 2 cause he was just coming into a new division but man I thought it would be a stiffer comp by 3rd fight at 140.

I got an e-mail a couple days ago telling me that Thurman/Porter was cancelled or postponed indefinitely and they gave me a number to call for details. Called them and gave them my order number, and was told I'd get a refund. But I haven't gotten anything about refunds, nor did the original order say anything about a refund (only thing that was said is that I'd most likely be required to return my ticket

do u think that's a good fight for Crawford next or no challenge?

 

[malbaker86]

so he doesn't want to be the man at 122 and take rigo on huh?

Well THAT was always going to happen. He don't want those Rigo problems

Crawford would outbox him but there's always that possibly he gets caught with something big. Bud gets hit & is no defensive wizard. But with his skillset Provo should be neutralized. If I were on his team I wouldn't take that fight. Not enough money.

Crawford's first 3 fights at 140: Thomas Dulorme, Dierry Jean, & Hank Lundy

Broner's first 5 fights at 140: Carlos Molina, Emmanuel Taylor, John Molina Jr, Khabib Allakhverdiev, & Ashley Theophane.


I don't think Postol, Troynovsky, Herrera, Matthysse, or Provodnikov want beef with either of them (AB or Craw) though.
