    If Crawford is demanding 60-40, doesn't he believe he's the A side?

      Crawford has never been and will never be A-side. He is boring and unmarketable. Spence is clear.

        Should be 50/50

            The A-side with two men like this doesn’t even come down to money or the particulars as much as it is about the psychology behind it.

            No one is going to feel like they should concede in any of the typical demands that come with A/B side negotiations.

            They both feel like they are the top dog. Only one has more of the numbers and analytics to prove it.

            Conceding any B-side demands prior to the fight is like stepping backwards in the ring.

              Spence is clearly the bigger draw. PPV numbers and gate receipts easily prove that.

              Spence also has the three most important world titles in boxing while Crawford has the least important world title in boxing.

              60/40 is the fair split.

                  Exactly this point. There’s no argument for Bud here.

                    Terence “TBE” Crawford is always the A-side.
