Comments Thread For: Crawford To Spence: Keep My Belts Warm, I'll Be Coming To Grab 'Em Later This Year

[Brother Mouzone]

lol what belts my boy ????, you gotta earn em fighting Crawfish, Spence has taken the top welters, what have you done but taken his leftovers years later, your promoter didnt like you, I believe your more skilled and betting odds will favored you, but I'm rooting Spence he will overcome you and stop you late, keep resigning with Bob so he can protect you in your little side of the street #BigFish

RED = Facts ..........

I hope Crawford doesn’t run ove the excuse that he’s the A-side when we all know Spence is the real A-side unified champion not running from the top welterweights like Crawford only fighting Spence leftovers,, Can’t wait for Spence to be undisputed

This fight has to happen next. Going to be a great one.

Spence has been in the trenches, Bud has had a way easier route. Anyone who thinks that crash hasn't affected him in a bad way is delusional. The crash is what made Bud get serious about the fight. Spence crash and wars will catch up to him. Pre accident I had Spence walking down Bud, even after all the wars. His core is no longer the same.

Hopefully Bud doesn’t kill the fight with that 50/50 nonsense.
Take the deal, take his titles, then call your own shot.

I suspect he will. He's in it for the cash no doubt. No one boxes for free but he wants a pay day but business wise doesn't have the leverage.

He's not taking any belts though, even if he takes a 40 split.

Errol Spence Jr is really that dude.

I think this fight will happen next, there is nowhere else for these guys to go.

No other opponents for them to face. This is the final boss stage now, and they must face off etc.

This will possibly be America's biggest all american boxing fight since? Oscar De La Hoya vs Floyd Mayweather Junior, Mike Tyson vs Evander Holyfield I & II etc

[Slip jab]

Good job Spence

So you all are ok with Crawford not fighting anyone hoping for a Spence payday?

I don’t even know what this means. Spence’s 225k PPV buys don’t get opponents huge paydays. Crawford was banking more in guaranteed purses at TR then anyone else at 147.

The crash hasn’t impacted anything. He walked down and pretty much destroyed a highly skilled, power punching CHAMPION. This wasn’t some walk over he outskilled it was a CHAMPION. That too coming off an almost 2 year hiatus and he did that to a champ? Nope, the accident is in the rear view. People choose to see what they wish to see. Did he get hit? Of course, it’s boxing ffs. You’re going to be hit, you’re going to be tested. When you’re in with champions you’re going to be taken to deep waters. It’s how you overcome that makes you a champion.

Spence in in his stride and all the top performers he has faced has given him grit.

Crawford has generated a combined 340,000 buys over three PPVs. THREE. Crawford will be lucky to see a million dollars going forward. Has there been a single promoter that rushed in to snatch him up after he left Bob? No, every promoter ran. Why is that? Because Crawford isn’t marketable whatsoever and hasn’t faced anyone at WW. The fans know it, other boxers know it and promoters certainly know it. This is a business not a charity. Spence otoh has generated 18 million$ in ppv buys. In addition he sells out arenas.

Crawford should be fortunate to grab onto scraps through promoter generosity.
