I know this may be an unpopular opinion and it is no indictment on Crawford's talent but no one gives a fukk about Terrence Crawford and all the trash talking in the world won't change that fact.
Crawford is in a odd position where he needs a fight against a dude like Pacquiao to become a star but he is such a nonfactor in terms of star power that getting a fight against a dude like Pacquiao is going to be difficult as hell.
The lack of charisma with black fighters in boxing doesnt make sense. I dont think anywhere else will you put 10 black people and 8 of them just sit there like

This is true.
None of these nikkas wanna be the next meme.
I feel like as long as you give a good account of yourself, you straight. Its only when you get straight dominated or do nothing memorable where it really hurts your brand.
Broner for example can still say he hurt Chino and had some good late rounds.
He can also say he hurt and dropped Porter
Hell, Jrock can still say he was in a good competitive fight and talk about all them right hands he landed.
As much as we praise Rigo for that Donaire fight, he still got dropped by dude.
This generation is afraid to put everything on the line and go for it during these fights. They rather do that minimalist boxing and win/lose a disputed decision than do anything that leaves an impact on viewers.
Gatti got obliterated by Floyd and nikkas still cared about his next fight as much as they did Floyd's.
I'm in favor of the fighters being paid 50k a fight,I don't give a fukk , it's not my money. fighters getting paid too much has ruined the sport
and no one here should be worrying about other fighters purses, ppv sales, none of that. might as well start following the stock market and going into business for yourself trying to get rich instead of worrying how much money another man that makes way more than you makes

Gatti and Paulie made their careers because they kept taking beatings and getting up. Honor and will are always going to be the most loved attributes of a man and it WILL make you a star in combat sports. Its why people are coming around to Berto now.
Fighters being overpaid hurts the sport in the long run. Hell, I want dudes to bank up too, but within perspective.
If cats without a large following are getting $500k to fight a guy ranked 50th in their division, they'll evenutally want $750k to fight a fringe contender ranked in the top 15. Hell, should they have to fight a top 5 opponent they'll want a mil plus. The real kicker is that they can't sell out an arena or get a million tv views.
Networks or promoters will only be able to afford them for 1 or 2 fights a year. Meanwhile the boxer's skills are getting stagnate and they become entitled. Now imagine a division with 3 or 4 nikkas like that and now we got a bunch of mythical match ups that won't happen but should happen. Wash, rinse, and repeat.
Just like these fast food workers don't deserve $15 an hour, but in 2017 every job should at least start at $10 with a 50cent or $1 raise a year and after a certain level (lets say $12 bucks) shyt gets capped off. At least people are given the opportunity to build towards something. You know give them some drive.
Same shyt with boxing. Give nikkas the world too soon and they don't' grow.

i was with you until you mentioned berto
He sucks, but Berto dont lay down. Put respect on his heart
i was with you until you mentioned berto
and that's' the thing, Berto has always been in good fights that were entertaining.
Has he been overpaid. Hell yeah, but he's always been good for tv. You can''t deny that. He's becoming a diva now tho.
Paulie on the other hand will get dominated or win boring fights against fringe dudes or past it cats and would somehow still find himself on your tv. Then he'll turn around an act like he has it so hard and that he didn't' enjoy some sort of privilege.
