Comments Thread For: Growing Concern On Spence's Side That Crawford's Team Isn't Committed To Fight

LOL, he left his promoter and a 2 fight with the highest guarantee in the division yearly but isn't committed. What a fing joke PBC and their spin doctors are! Showtime parent is trying to consolidate or sell off showtime and Fox won't front the money for PBC fights but it's all Crawford's fault. What fing joke! This dude would have had 2 fights this year with Top Rank and going into his 3rd fight early 2nd Q next year. Now, he is stuck with Arreola and JRock who are crying about inactivity and can't get into any fights along with Broner and his 4 month camp. Yeah, that's Crawford's fault too! Boxing fans are beyond dumb.

Wow he left the promoter that he's currently suing for racial bias!

Told you all this would happen if the fight wasn’t signed by the end of august.
I said we would get “leaks” saying the deal was close to force one side to cave. If they didn’t then would see reports that one side is to blame for holding up the fight.
I would bet this fight doesn’t happen next year either.
Clear duck by Bud.

Crawford's head is bigger than his title. Spence should just move on and fight some of those up and coming prospects.

All they can do is keep working at it but as some point maybe some sort of deadline needs to be set because they is dragging out too long

Neither fighter is ducking I'm sure BOTH want this fight but The Powers That Be are not going to lose money offer this fight because they don't believe this to be the big fight a small Group of Hardcore Fans (many who don't buy PPV's or attend fights live) say it is

This is no damn Super Fight! Just look around, ask around, NOBODY in Main Stream Sports Media is talking about this fight, not on Sports Radio Shows, not on Debate shows on ESPN and FOX Sports nothing

This is a Big Fight for Hardcores but besides us, NOBODY CARES! Even as a Hardcore I'm losing Interest and hoping Tank vs Ryan Garcia gets done more than this one between two guys who are extremely talented in the Ring and both Top P4P Fighters in the world Currently but NEITHER moves the Needle with Casuals, neither are interesting outside the ring and both when they do interviews act like they're scared to speak up so how do they even sell this fight. That is why they're going to need MONTHS not WEEKS to sell/promote this fight

If the contract was right, Crawford would sign it. If he hasn't signed it then the contract isn't right.

Spence team wants this story before walking away and announcing the Thurman fight for march. Ortiz Crawford in June . Winner unify with boots Think about it. Bidness Forget about the fight fury usyk bigger

[P to the J]

Don’t actually know who’s to blame. Got to the point where I hope one or both of them lose, to teach everyone else a lesson about ‘marination’ a la AJ and Wilder

[Smash]

just pay them what they are worth, u are not entitled to a magic money tree that gives u a guarantee that puts the event into the red zone with potential loses for others, if thats what is holding it up that is

Wow he left the promoter that he's currently suing for racial bias!

he is suing the promoter for 3 million for a covid fight date which top rank owes him.

Its tough to think such huge fight will take place less than month from now,no signed deals,no promotional press conference ,no nothing I knew this was all smoke and mirrors ,really hoping deal get sealed but it doesnt seem realistic for nov 19 date to be honest. Dont wanna think Bud getting cold feet man.
