Comments Thread For: Spence-Crawford Unviable Because of 'Economics,' Crawford Not PPV Star, Says PBC Spokesperson

[Doubledagger]

Spence - Porter did = 170k buys
Crawford - Porter did = 135k buys

money isn’t there

Spence vs Porter did over 300k

If both guys insist on 60/40 in their favour then the fight can't happen. But the way Spence committed to the Ugas fight and Staniosis/Butaev already suggests PBC have already passed on Crawford. Not sure how this plays out because Hearn has no top welterweights in his stable so nobody for Crawford to fight there, GBP have Ortiz but I don't think they'd do that fight yet. Crawford is suing Arum so that bridge is burned, which just leaves PBC as the obvious destination.

It means the analytics show - what Crawford and Spence want to fight will not be generated. So what’s the issue? Fight can’t be made if they want to high of guarantee

This is the problem with boxing. Fighters should have guarantees for a certain amount of years or fighters and not be paid for "the fight." Imagine if the NFL had to renegotiate contracts for every major game between conference rivals, they would never get through a season.

Crawford's going to get muscled into taking a lower paycheck by younger, hungrier mandatories. It'll be potentially lose in a 1-3 millon payday or take $10 million to fight Spence. The choice will be easy at that point.

Nobody likes losing money. Both of these guys windows has come and gone. Spence is flipping Ferraris drunk out of his mind and Spence is an overrated racist. Both typical black thugs. Get money, lose mind. Good riddance to both of them.

Why do keyboard warriors like you label elite black athletes thugs when you don't like them? There's nothing thuggish about either man.

Does anyone need more proof that pbc are blatantly ducking Crawford and are scared he’d ruin whatever is left of Spence? This was similar logic used by golden boy when they were trying to discredit ggg as a draw because of his low buys with Lemieux. But anyone with sense knew that regardless of that, due to the demand for the fight between him and canelo, it’d do great numbers. Spence vs Crawford would do more buys than any previous Spence fight. They just don’t want it to happen.

LMAO you're a pathetic little troll. This has absolutely nothing, NOTHING to do with Canelo or Goldenboy and yet you somehow managed to bring them into the conversation.

Canelo keeps living in your head rent free.

It shows that Pac is still the biggest draw.

[Boxing Beast]

Multiple boxing promoters have now promoted the idea that Spence vs Crawford is not a viable option. Hope is what created a manny vs floyd’s bout that made the most money in the sport recently. Killing hope is ******. Arum and Al must have serious hatred for each other to squash this payday.

[The Big Dunn]

The build-up would maybe be boring, yes, but who cares about all that nonsense.

The fight would 10000% be better than Floyd vs Pac, and this is why the most antipicated fight in boxing.

I agree. I can’t see how it would be worse.
