I'm sorry, before the Canelo fight where and when was Plant this "Big Stand Alone Draw" what PPV did Plant Headline before the Canelo fight? The fact that Bud was Drawing Similar and I think even BETTER numbers over on ESPN with a Cable Network compared to Plant fighting on a huge FOX Network which is Free...thanks for proving my point, nothing personal but come on are we really going to argue that Plant is a Bigger Stand Alone Draw than Bud? Same Plant that is going to be a Co-Feature his next fight, not even the Headliner
Dog if we go on the free TV ratings Plant always had BETTER numbers even if only slightly. His PPV with Canelo did more than either Bivol or GGG 3. Crawford's PPV numbers are DOG ****. There is no real evidence that Crawford is a bigger draw than Crawford besides your 'personal' opinion.
Crawford is going to systematically break Spence down, round by round until Spence's corner throws in the towel. It's going to happen and Spence's team knows this. A big mouth gets some people into big trouble. This isn't the kind of fight that will go to a decision, the only decision is how Spence chooses to duck the fight altogether.

once AGAIN Plant fights on FOX network which is Free, Crawford fights on ESPN which is NOT technically Free, you either must have Cable, Satellite TV OR pay for it through their APP so Plant SHOULD draw bigger Ratings on FOX but honestly I don't even think that is the case at all.
So crawford should take the fight for free? He's agreeing the b-side already. He's getting paid off the NET not GROSS. Without knowing where the expenses are going to and how much are being spend, he can essentially get zero for the fight.
You make sure that doesn't happen by SELLING the fight and increasing the number of people that buy it.
When Porter signed for Spence he went on a mission with celebs to get the word out.
You have no logical reason to refute what you're being told.
Spence/Porter sold nearly 3x what Crawford/Porter sold.
If Porter is the same, the only logical cause is the other guy. Crawford. Who doesn't care to help sell his fights.
You've heard him at pressers; he gets asked a question and just says, "I'll do my talking in the ring". That's NOT how you sell casuals!
The rest doesn't matter. Spence knows he'll get paid. He promotes sponsorship with the Cowboys, his merch, trunk sponsorships, etc.
Crawford just isn't used to putting in work to get paid because he was too busy draining Arum with little effort.
