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

[PBR Streetgang]

Stories like these are good, because it helps remind us which promotional organization all of the posters here are beholden to. It helps us sift out who the Haymon Sycophants are, the Top Rank Sycophants, the GBP ones (are there any anymore), the Matchroom, etc. etc.

Some sports have fans who root for teams, others for athletes, boxing has promotional fans.

Agreed. I try not to rush to a conclusion on these things because you just never know what is in the contract offer and why exactly it's being turned down. The devil is in the details.

Anyone who think spence is ducking crawford just needs to watch TC vs gamboa TC vs mean machine TC vs bumavidez. If u think spence would suck someone who fought tooth and nail with those bums ur out to lunch. TC a 135 lb fighter spence will do a number on him TC don’t want the fight it’ll be the last of his career him and his team know it

I’m hearing that both camps want to marinate this for a little bit more to further build up the tension for a strong climax tentatively scheduled for Sep 14, 2024.

Just kidding., Crawford just thinks he deserves a lot because Arum overpaid him for decade.

LOL @ anyone saying Spence is ducking BUD, look at the resumes ...............

PBC agreed to the three things Crawford's lawyer wanted.

If Crawford doesn't accept the fight at this point it's a duck.

I hope Thurman is in shape, because it looks more and more that he is going to get the call.

From Al Haymon's PBC business model of keeping everything in-house and not always working in harmony with other groups, to padding his fighters records with weak opponents, to keeping them inactive for long periods of time, while having them fight more on social media than in the ring, to their basic hatred for Crawford for not signing to them time and again, to Errol's "across the street" comments for years and years, then when u throw in Mayweather's ultra insecure, petty, narcissistic, attention stealing c.ckblocking hating ass, it's not hard to see why this fight hasn't happened yet. They wanna pay Bud like he's a child and treat the man like sh t at every stage of the negotiations. Anyone can see that Bud is a simple, humble, proud warrior who just wants to fight and be respectfully paid. He's not a social media attention wh.re, diva, pick and choose em kinda fighter. He's not worried about sides of the street, or A-side vs. B-side, what size gloves, who comes out 1st, how big the ring is, stacking the deck in his favor, none of that bs, he just wants respect and fairness and PBC ain't about none of that, when it comes to the other side. If u don't sign with them, they try to destroy u, freeze u out. But if u sign with them, you'll be mostly inactive and/or fight a bunch of ppl that no fans wanna see u fight

And BScene is more than happy to oblige them. This site makes me cringe more and more. Is this a PBC funded site or what?

I think the fight has already lost it's musk. You build up hype for so long it loses it's appeal.

Terence Crawford dominated and knocked out all three of those opponents you just mentioned. One of those fights is from over 5 years ago and none of them are bums. And what about what he did to Shawn Porter and Kell Brook who both gave Errol Spence the fights of his life?

Yes it is. Boxingscene is owned by CBS. It was acquired three years ago.
