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

[Oregonian]

The ballyhooed Errol Spence Jr.-Terence Crawford welterweight matchup may never branch out from the realm of fan fiction so long as purse expectations remain unreasonably sky high, according to one partisan observer.

One can only hope that this story sheds some light into how the Floyd-PAC fight got super delayed to finally happen.

Usually the matchup is what sells fights. It is a fight that most fans want. Neither guy is a household name and Spence lost his opportunity to shine more because he didn't fight Pac.

The problem is that the fighters do not want to get paid what the fight is actually worth instead of how much they think they should get paid. Too bad if this fight doesn't get done because of negotiations.

This is a prime example of art vs business. Companies rarely care about the outcome of sports just the money generated. These boxing matches are a collaboration of many business working together almost like a theatrical play. There is human value for PBC, Golden boy Dazn etc to build stars but it takes business sponsors and business people cross marketing who really have a limited boxing interest to move the needle financially.
We the fans want the fight but the economics doesn’t generate as much as the fan value warrants. Without a union or a league like UFC mega fights will continue to “marinate” as we learned many times.

Don't forget Joshua vs. Ruiz twice, and Crawford vs. Porter, and most recently Beterbiev vs. Browne. They also have Colbert vs. Gutierrez coming next month!

If you tell a lie long enough people will believe it. The idea that pbc fighters don’t fight outside of pbc house is just an out and out lie. Crawford’s biggest fights have been with Haymon fighters. People just don’t want Haymon and pbc to be successful

Spence vs Porter did over 300k

Never let truth get in the way of good propaganda….

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

because low rent uneducated racist white extremists have accomplished zero in life. They are lonely, poor, and angry and in their disordered minds they need someone to blame for their waste of time on this earth. This basement dwelling incel is obsessed with black men like so many other trolls who come to this forum

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.

Seems like I live in your head rent free since you can’t stay off my d1k. Look you hyper sensitive phag, I didn’t even say anything negative about Canelo so stop getting your ginger colored thong in a bunch. I mentioned a comparable scenario where the demand for a big fight exceeds whatever the prior Ppv numbers were of the so called non draw. The scenarios are virtually identical so stop looking for any reason to get defensive and pretend you actually know more about boxing aside from the fact that your avatar clearly shows the only thing you know about the sport is Canelo and that you want him to fist you up the ass.

man don't open that can of worms in here please
Floyd and Manny are 1000x more popular than these 2 dudes and back then streaming wasn't really an issue when they were first being discussed as fighting each other.

Nah I was just going to post something about the PBC/Spence/Crawford situation and your dumbass post happened to be the last one.

I told you a long time ago that there can be a topic that has nothing to do with Canelo, absolutely nothing, and you would find a way to bring him up.

Well here it is! LOL you dumbass troll. Keep crying about Canelo you jealous loser.
