    If Crawford beats Pacquiao, the idea of Errol Spence getting 50-percent of the pot in a unification fight with Crawford becomes laughable.

    Crawford would obviously deserve the majority of the pot at that point.
    Do you lay awake at night dreaming of dumb things to post?

      What if PPV bombs though & Spence does higher numbers vs. talker Keith Thurman. Being serious DSG-Errol flopped yet isn't great sign for Pacquiao-Bud during COVID

          Just make the fight, if Fury & Joshua can agree to a 50/50 split for a fight that is realistically worth 3 or 4 times more without arguing for years about it, why can't these guys.

          I understand you can't make an opponent fight you, but two undefeated established champions in a fairly similar position, do it at 50/50. You deserve more, you're confident, OK 60/40 to the winner, done.

          Can't stand hearing boxers talk about "they're the A-side", ***** I don't care who the A-side is, I want to see who the best boxer is, and if thats you, go get that easy money and keep it moving. Won't take a fight if you don't get a big enough percentage, sounds to me like you aren't too confident.

            Yea Spence would definitely have less leverage than now but it'll make the fight big enough where 50% then would be more than 60% or 70% now so the fight should be easier to make. 50% against Crawford is probably more than 100% against anybody else at 147.

            But then I remember the Mayweather Pacquiao situation where that didn't matter for like 5 years. You never know how greedy these managers, promoters, networks and fighters are.

              When you decide a PPV purse split you do it based on proven PPV earnings history.

              Pac-Crawford would have to sell a lot to make up for the disparity in Crawford's PPV earnings compared to Spence.

              And that's assuming that Pacquiao even fights him, which is by no means a given.
