Props to both fighters for doing what nobody else does, fighting the best their division has to offer.
I agree but they just need to get rid of PPV altogether. I can only see it if the card is stacked. But they never are.
Re: Terence Crawford signs contract for July 23 fight with Viktor Postol
I would like to pay for it, but my lease is up in August.
Need that extra scratch for the move.

That is an interesting thought and you could well be right on ! ... Crawford is pretty amazing fighter and whilst not a hugely explosive knock out machine he is great to watch.He still doesn't have that big star pull though but the potential is there, with his skills and his rather menacing personality, maybe having a ppv will push him over the edge.
This is also a PPV I would definitely pay for
Re: Terence Crawford signs contract for July 23 fight with Viktor Postol
The irony of anyone complaining about this fight being PPV is pretty rich :P I hope there is an undercard and I understand neither fighter has quite established themselves as a big draw, but this is an exceptional match up and exactly the kind hardcore fans (rightly)scream isn't made enough. I could see Crawford dominating tbh, but it's going to be very high level boxing.
Re: Terence Crawford signs contract for July 23 fight with Viktor Postol
Anyone know when tickets for this fight go on sale? Thinking of possibly going.

I think its putting the cart before the horse though. Mayweather had more than double the regular hbo fights and a few were considered 'big' match ups compared to the initial ppv vs well known face in Gatti. Crawford and Postol are very under the radar in the big picture unfortunately and it'd ensure much better sales and popularity down the road to give them as much regular and 'easy' exposure to both hard core and casual fans now rather than pull poor ppv numbers and have that tag stuck to him.

Haha ;D. Nope not dead yet atleast. Still pop on here from time to time just never post. As far as Xbox havent used it in ages man.
Actually looking forward to seeing this fight. Postol is a tough customer I think Crawford will have his hands full with him. If anyone heres when tickets go on sale would love a heads up.

Even most regular boxing fans have seen Postol fight exactly once. And he doesn't have a fan-friendly styler. Crawford has looked good but not so good that a lot of people are going to be desperate to spend 60 or so dollars to watch. And it could be a crap fight to watch. Making it PPV is nuts.
And no way Crawford fights Spence anytime soon unless Haymon's operation collapses.

I've got to give Postal credit for the Matthysse win :) Matthyssse was in good form :cool: Postal has the style to frustrate anyone into making mistakes ;) his KO of Aydin was legit ;D backed that up by stopping Matthysse so he has nice momentum :)
Both guys look in fantastic shape and are at their peak :D I really hope we get an epic fight :cool:
