Comments Thread For: Spence Says If Crawford Fight Doesn't Happen Now, It Never Will Happen

[QballLobo]

I find this perspective very bizarre for a boxing forum. Every time I pick up my phone I am hoping for the news. I just need the announcement, Vegas October 22nd, and I will be booked within the hour.

I think it’s just as likely to land in Dallas, TX as it is in Vegas if it goes down this year.

I'm not a big Crawford fan, but he would beat boots, he isn't ready for the top dog just yet.

I think he's ready & willing! For either one!

Red - The trinket that Stanionis has?

Stanionis has nothing! He brings nothing! Thurman brings something! Stanionis & Boots should try hard for that fight!

The problem with these 2, is they think this match up is on the PAC vs Mayweather type of magnitude and want to get paid like that, when it's nowhere near that. Especially on the Crawford side, he's never sold more than 150k in ppv, this fight still sells, but realistically it does somewhere between 500-700k. 12-15 million purse for Spence, and 10-12 million for Crawford is what they should be getting and expecting, anything more should be tied to ppv sales percentage. And showtime and other media needs to stop calling this the biggest fight in boxing, it's not, it's the best match up in boxing, not the biggest fight, Canelo vs pretty much anyone is the biggest fight in boxing, especially when you start talking about Canelo vs Charlo or Benavides those fights would do much more business, believe it or not, GGG vs Canelo will do more money than Crawford vs Spence.

they don't want mayweather/Pacquiao money. Floyd got a 120 million guarantee and Pacquiao got a 80 million guarantee.

The problem is they aren't being offered the 10 to 15 million that they deserve for this fight.

Haymon is low balling both guys. The difference is pbc guys are used to it and bud ain't going for it.

Thurman aint serious. Ignore him. Maybe Stanionis, Boots, and Ortiz Jr will avoid each other until they get to face one of the champs.

Bud don’t really want the fight. He wants 25M for it and he’s not worth close to that he has one belt and is gonna get served. It’s his retirement fight tho so I don’t blame him

700k is a stretch Wilder and Fury didn't even do that much and Wilder is a superstar in the states.

Delusional. Wilder is not a superstar anywhere but his own mind. And neither is Fury.

No one including yourself believes a single word of what you just wrote. Errol Spence fans are really compelled to push a fabricated narrative.

That money wont ever be met again outside of HW, it was at a booming time and had the whole world on hooks, this fight will not generate anywhere near Manny Floyd, and that's the bottom line, they will work backward on what they expect to generate, and then work the percentages, lawyers and accountants calculate all this stuff from T-shirts to hotdogs to purses, its not a two-man sit down over pizza, there are so many details to work out in these big fights it always takes time to finalize.

I got no doubt its going down
