Comments Thread For: Spence On Getting Pacquiao Fight Instead Of Crawford: I Wish Best For Terence

demanding 70/30 means... Spence don't want that fight... and only a shlthead fanboy would disagree


demanding 60/40 means... Spence does not care if that fight never happens


demanding 60/40, and settling for 55/45... means that Spence wants the fight


he is totally pricing himself out at 70/30... he should have never mentioned that split, and he should never mention it again... absurd


if that fight got signed, I am positive that Spence would not be the favorite... so that "big dog" talk is bullshlt in any real negotiation

I just hope he fights Pacquiao cleanly without the Horn and Mayweather type excessive holding/cheating.

Spence only talking humble now cause he knows there’s a big possibility he might lose to pacquiao. Spence will already have the judges in his back pocket when the scorecards are announced

George Floyd is an example of a criminal and a bad cop-not an example of racism just because race is an infatuation. Nobody uses the term "European-American" unless their parents/grandparents came from Europe.The capitol riots are not an example of racism but an angry political fueled reaction that was not even on par with the "summer of love" provided by ***. If this is the modern day standard of racism then you need to acknowledge America has come a long way from days of Jim Crow and slavery.Hell, you almost have to invent examples or redefine the definition of racism to fit a cause because it is simply not happening in the droves as you suggest no matter how much ***** or Don Lemon are telling you at CNN.

People these days are not oppressed due to "White supremacy". Blacks in America have more influence than many others and if there is a better place, then one thing America does not do is keep you there.

I am not "mad" at the oppressed as much as I am confused when you are comparing modern times with what blacks had to endure quite some time ago. To compare it like today's standard is on par is an insult.

Your argument seems to be that racism cannot exist today unless it matches the depths of racism of yesteryear. This is no argument at all.

FACT: Pacquiao is a world-class veteran... not only that, he is a special talent

he is a special talent... who should be able to deal with the guy in front of him

that "excessive holding/cheating" excuse, is not why Pac lost to Mayweather or Horn.... and that will not be a valid reason, if he loses to Spence either

Great post. Racism in job selection is a huge issue, as well. It's like you are two strikes in even before the interview, especially in front of a whole white board. People who never have to deal with that bigotry usually tell others it's their own fault (victim blaming). White America dominates almost everything at the top (position-wise and money-wise). That happened over hundreds of years of making sure that the 'other' is always behind. It's still happening in different ways now. Go to almost any high position and you usually see a white man. Don't cite me rare occasions like ***** or some similar crap. At least in boxing it's a little different, with Haymon's PBC becoming something. This is one of the reasons Canelo doesn't wanna do business with Haymon. Floyd is on that board too and I'm sure he can veto a fight. Canelo must have been spooked.

I suspect a lot may come down to the vagaries of how well Pacquaio is feeling on the night. This might sound like a cop out, but at Spence's age you can rely on your body functioning at its best level to a much higher level of consistency than when you are at Pacquaio's age.

If Pacquiao is able to fire on all cylinders, he just might be able to do it. At 42, though, he's getting to the stage where having this happen is less often than those times when his body just refuses to deliver.

Have you ever been followed by the immigrant Chinese store clerk every time you entered a corner store in your 'own' country? That image was created by someone and it's not always the victim.

[Fists_of_Fury]

All the afrocentric bullsheeit from Spence makes me dislike him now. War Pacquiao

The white men usually have higher grades and accomplishments. They usually actually earned their position. They also usually have committed less crimes. Affirmative Action discriminates against white men for jobs. Unqualified people get jobs they shouldn't due to sex and race because of Affirmative Action. Personal responsibility and accountability for one's actions seems hard to understand for some. They would rather pass the buck and wrongfully blame others because they can't succeed while others do.
