Comments Thread For: Thurman: Errol Spence is a Bigger Fight Than Terence Crawford

[rickJen]

Because the wheels are already in motion for a Spence vs Thurman over at PBC,Keef just said as much in this interview....

Believe me, that will take a year or more. That is if you're lucky.
We don't have nine lives to live doe. We get old. Fighters get old.
They're past their primes by the time fights are negotiated.

Oh I know and don't really care for a Spence vs Thurman fight anyways but if PBC's welters have managed to avoid Crawford for years now,what's another year for them.

All these blk american boxers are ducking eachother. Tank,Spence, Crawford,Andrade, Jermall Charlo. I hope everyone opens their eyes.

Keef is damaged goods at this point. Should of fought Spence and Crawford 5 years ago if he really cared to know if he could beat them. I think he could of beat one of them back then but now? Nope. His body is too old. same goes for Spence. Probably why he wants Spence. Spence HATES him though cause he never gave him a chance when Spence needed a break through fight years ago. I wouldn’t hold my breath on that fight Keef.

Unfortunately by staying with Arum for so long Bud has put himself into a high risk low reward position.
He has top P4P skills meaning he can beat any welterweight but he can’t sell out a barn in Nebraska meaning a fight with Bud doesn’t command a much higher purse than other opponents for a Spence or a Thurman.
So unless Bud accepts his position and is will to take B side status to make a big fight he’s climbing an uphill batttle to get top prime guys in the ring.

I just so happen to agree with Keith Thurman. He is right. Erroll Spence is by far the bigger box office draw of the two. He could draw more than 50,000 people at Dallas Stadium alone.

Damn,Crawford got these PBC boys shook....

No I disagree. You just have to pay the man. Rumors had it that Keith wanted 10M to fight Crawford. Bob is no fool. He would have gone bankrupt offering Thurman that type of money to fight Bud.

[champion4ever]

Replace “bigger” with “more winnable” and I agree. Crawford makes short work of Thurman.

Nah! He just wants to get paid motherfucker! Unfortunately for Terence Crawford; He has proven to not being a crossover pay per view star. It's a fact that Thurman would make a lot more money fighting Spence than fighting Bud.

Like I mentioned in a previous post... Porter made more money fighting Crawford than he did vs Spence. Asking Bob for $10mil,after a loss followed by a 3yr layoff is pricing yourself out if I ever heard one. How much do you think his guarantee is against Barrios is?

[champion4ever]

Pretty sure Porter made more against Crawford than he did against Spence....

Of course, he did because Porter was Crawford's mandatory challenger and Bob attempted to avoid a purse bid by overpricing the event. However, he lost a lot of money in doing so because the pay per view tanked.
