Who's Bud Crawford?

If that's the biggest event they'll ever hold.....not good.

I'll leave it to you to look him up. What's the biggest event that the PBA even has the potential to hold in your opinion?

Hmmmm, NCAA tourney games? I am not sure if they can hold them but I think that would be the biggest, maybe.

I think Lincoln could only host the first weekend of the tourney at best due to lack of direct flights and hotel rooms. Even then, I don't think that would come close to comparing to a world championship fight unifying 4 belts.

I am not sure...honestly if you are not from Nebraska or if you don't really follow boxing you might not have a clue who Bud is. I mean...I met the guy and his friends after the jays/Nova game this year...I didn't know it was him until my buddy told me. I don't even know what weight class he is in. I didn't even know there were 4 belts.

Honestly I didn't know about the belts either, but just having a world championship event in Lincoln seems like a huge deal to me. I know boxing is a dying sport but he is one of the best pound for pound boxers in the world. I guess the fact that I have to state my case probably shows that I'm wrong on this but I won't admit it.

I think it is huge for Nebraska...Now if it was Bud vs a huge name that would really make it big nationally, I think.

Lack of hotel rooms? They don't even fill to capacity on game day downtown anymore.

Biggest sporting event by far. Undisputed champ of 2 weight divisions would be a huge accomplishment. Great undercard as well.

If there is a bigger event ever it will almost certainly have to involve him.

I've never heard that name before in my life.

I don't think it's just the number of hotel rooms. There needs to be a certain number of full service hotels that have 24 hour room service. Also the lack of convention center attached to the arena is a limiting factor for later rounds.
