When Terence “Bud” Crawford wanted to share his championship celebration with the world, he didn’t turn to a national broadcast network. Instead, the undisputed super middleweight champion of the world trusted Omaha’s own Hurrdat Sports to bring his victory parade to life for fans everywhere.
The result? A historic livestream that proved local expertise can deliver global impact.

The Challenge: One Week to Create Magic
When Hualapai Ventures Inc. – the investment powerhouse behind Dana White’s revolutionary TKO boxing venture – approached Hurrdat Sports about producing Crawford’s parade, they gave us just over a week to plan and execute a broadcast-quality livestream.
No pressure, right?
But this is exactly the kind of challenge that gets our team fired up. Crawford isn’t just any champion – he’s Omaha’s champion, a boxing legend who’s never forgotten where he came from. The opportunity to showcase his moment to the world was one we couldn’t pass up.
More Than Just Cameras and Cables
Creating a livestream might sound straightforward in 2025, but producing a live event of this magnitude requires orchestrating dozens of moving parts:
- Multi-Camera Coverage: We deployed camera operators throughout the parade route, from Gene Leahy Mall to Heartland of America Park
- Drone Operations: Our aerial team captured stunning overhead shots of the estimated 25,000 fans lining downtown streets
- Stage Production: Full coverage of the celebration program at The RiverFront
- Technical Infrastructure: Seamless streaming capability to handle viewers from around the globe
All of this came together through incredible collaboration with the Team Crawford, The City of Omaha, Mayor Jean Stothert’s office, the Omaha Police Department, MECA, and The River Front team.
Our selection by Team Crawford and Hualapai Ventures for this project carries special significance. The company, which includes Crawford’s own representative Ishmael Hinson among its partners, is at the forefront of professional boxing’s evolution. With Dana White’s TKO/Zuffa Boxing set to sign over 150 fighters and launch in 2026, Hualapai Ventures is reshaping how boxing connects with fans.
Their trust in Hurrdat Sports to deliver this crucial moment speaks volumes about our capabilities and potential for future collaborations in the rapidly evolving sports media landscape.
By the Numbers
While view counts continue to climb, the immediate impact was clear:
25,000+ fans attended in person in downtown Omaha
100k+ views on Hurrdat Sports, Ring Magazine, and syndication partners’ channels
1m+ social media views of clips and moments from the day, spreading Crawford’s celebration worldwide
But numbers only tell part of the story. The real victory was giving fans who couldn’t be in Omaha the chance to be part of something special – to see Crawford atop his float, to feel the energy of the crowd, to witness history.
Celebrating Omaha’s Champion
The celebration continued beyond the parade, with Crawford marking his birthday in style. The champ was spotted sporting local Omaha gear as he celebrated another year:
Rep Your City Like a Champion
Love the Omaha pride showing? You can represent your city with the same style. Each piece in the collection is designed and crafted right here in Omaha, celebrating our city’s spirit and the champions who call it home. Whether you’re at the next big game or just showing your 402 pride around town, wear it like a champion.
A New Standard for Sports Production
This production wasn’t just about meeting expectations – it was about setting new ones. In an era where sports media is increasingly consolidated among major networks and streaming platforms, we proved that innovation and excellence can come from anywhere. Omaha may not be New York or Los Angeles, but we have something those markets can’t replicate: authentic connection to our community and the drive to exceed expectations every single time.
What’s Next
As we reflect on this incredible experience, we’re already looking forward. The successful execution of Crawford’s victory parade opens doors to new possibilities in live event production, not just for boxing but across all sports.
