Spence vs Crawford fight "marinating" makes no sense, especially since both guys arent even trying to stay relevant or blue ball the fans with good fights against okay opponents like MayPac did.
This fight will flop if it ever happens, and that will hurt boxing.
Same ol bulldust in here, mark my words if they make the fight it will be very big by fight time, flop lol sounds like kids sooking in the corner because their birthday present might get cancelled so then its I don't want my present anyway its junk now lol.
People are so negative in this forum, everything is no good, everybody is a cheat and everybody has a dozen conspiracy theories going on, just enjoy the sport for the many big fights we get.
Don't worry yourself about this fight.....isn't happening. Spence wants it and is waiting for it.....he doesn't even want a tune up.....but....as he has done before Crawford will find a way out of the negotiations and fight a no-hoper. I don't think he can hang with Spence and apparently he doesn't either!
If the fight even happens...
Might have done better if they hadn't had so much BS in the negotiations making them both look bad. Still, Spence's face after Crawford stopped Porter said it all. Super fights get the fighters in the ring so they can start promoting.
That being said, it will be a good litmus test for the health of boxing, because the core fans will tune in, and very few fringers/casuals. Will be interesting to see how it compares to Loma/Haney. Neither is likely going to reach Tank/Garcia levels. Price point will also have an impact. I suspect a lot of people will skip it if it's in the stratospheric levels that Showtime has been trying lately.
It's not even marinating. Spence and Crawford are getting less relevant. People need to stop trying to compare this to Floyd and Pac. Floyd and Pac are the two best fighters of this generation. Spence and Crawford are nobodies who've wasted their careers.
I wanted to like crawford for a long while, a crafty switch hitter with decent power but the dude just threw his career away and was happy fighting bums.
i dont even care whose fault it is, Im not there for negotiations so I am not goign to waste mental energy trying to make up whose fault it was, as far as I am concern its both their fault the fight never happened. Cant imagine say Tito and DLH just hanging out in the same division and never fighting each other... that chit didnt use to happen now it happens all the time.
Like I said before, Mayweather ruined boxing for fans with all his A side, Cash cow, my rules and other bs. Now we are reaping what he sowed
This is why Haymon offered Crawford an incentive based deal. If the fight does big business then everyone gets paid but if it likely underperforms then Al is protecting his money.
Bud is afraid to bet on himself in a fight he would be favored to win.
I am a big Crawford fan but with all this bs, I am really disappointed with his choices. A true chance to cement one's legacy once and for all by facing each other but both are playing this dumb ****. Fk em both

It will sell LESS than ryan-tank did.
Crawford and spence want way too much money. they can actually fight 2 bums and make more than just matching each other and risking a loss. Neither isnt famous outside of boxing. Ryan garcia is more famous than them. The fight is for the lineal and undisputed welterweight champ but non boxing fans have no idea who they are.
Yeah I know a couple of my serious boxing friends who have had it with this BS!
If the fight doesn’t happen in July or August, you can add me to the list.
Boxing isn’t popular enough anymore to be turning people off to its biggest fights. Or any fights.
Yeah, they're not even "marinating" at this point, they had a combined 3 fights in the last 3 years.
For comparison Tank and Canelo fought 3 times in the last 12 months, cant really bring in the numbers when you're fighting once every blue moon.
