Comments Thread For: Spence Reacts To Crawford-Avanesyan: Everyone Can Now See Who Was The Holdup!

[Roadblock]

The lows of being a boxing fan. Crawfords side will blame Spence. Spence's side will blame Crawford. Fans will argue, although we know nothing because we weren't involved in the negotiations, and we ultimately lose out. Always the way.

Sounds right except for one thing, TC had this BS fight already done while only a week ago he is telling the media he wants Spence. now its after this bs fight I will fight Errol, well if I was Errol Id tell TC to go fck himself and get on with my career without him.

Bad form by TC and it wont go down well with fans.

Damage limitation from Spence. It's more than obvious he didn't want it.
And if he wanted, he only wanted it for retirement money, meaning there would be nothing left for Bud.

btw, wasn't this fight supposed to be made during Canelo fight week?

You don’t know that and neither do I. NO-ONE DOES…..you sound silly for even expressing it. Why? Because Crawford said so on Social Media? That’s funny because Spence says the same thing. And he could be DEAD WRONG TOO. No one does except those directly involved. To say otherwise is nothing more than hero worship fan boidom.

Crawford had to be negotiating Avanesyan, while negotiating with Spence! I'm pissed at them both! Not only because they didn't face each other, but that it seems neither one of them want smoke with Boots! Crawford could've at least chosen Vergil Ortiz Jr.! Hopefully Spence changes his mind and fights Boots, but I doubt it!

This looks like Crawford feels he's worth a certain amount.
Spence side want proof he's worth that.
Crawford says let me prove it and signs for a PPV.
If Crawford sells X amount,
Spence's side will be forced to give in.
if he doesn't,
Crawford will be forced to concede and sign as is.
Either way,
this fight is too big to let go at this stage of negotiations.

Crawford claims he's been guaranteed+$10m for Avanesyan?!
If/when his ppv figures come back low (again) then his negotiation power drops even lower.
Spence needs to go to 154 immediately rather than hang around weakening himself for a fight that, realistically, probably isn't happening.

There's simply no denying it at this point...Not even SEVEN (7) DAYS AGO, Crawford was telling any ear that would listen, that he's still working to hammer out the Spence Deal...According to Keith Idec, who obviously has laid eyes to the comms, Spence sent crawford a revised contract over 2 weeks ago and heard NOTHING. Now we know why- This dude was making another fight with a lesser opponent...It's been the case for the longest for Crawford- fight lesser competition and get that big pay day. Less risk for more reward. It was the mantra at TR.

At the end of the day, the truth has come to light. Overall, it doesn't matter- EVERY boxing fan is upset about this. We all lose.

I don’t even know who to believe anymore but at this point, fook both of them. Both are out here wasting boxing fans time with inferior fights as opposed to just making this one happen.

Spence should fight Vergil or Boots first! Fundora would be a good fight, but I think Vergil or Boots would be equally as good!

Spence's record suggests he's more willing to take risks but I genuinely don't care anymore and would rather focus on fighters willing to fight each other than this clown show.

LOL Haymon will sell Spence to Canelo at 164 before Spence goes to 154 (not ONE big money fight in the division and several dudes who are bigger and can probably beat Spence) if there is no Crawford fight. Yeah, it's Crawford fault Charlo and Benavidez aren't fighting dangerous fights either. Funny how you can't make dangerous fights with those 3 and they are the 3 Haymon has put in deals for Canelo but I'll pretend it's Crawford's fault too. Spence is fighting Stanley. No way in hell he allows Ennis IBF mandatory to activate. Ortiz's team already turned down Crawford. Since they were previous mandatory, they could easily petition for the mandatory again but they aren't.

The only name on bumfords record is a washed up Porter that deserved to go the distance. What a joke this guy is and anyone that cannot see it is a brain dead d*ick rider and in total denial. Guy has fought a bunch of nobodies his entire career lmao fighting the WBO 7th ranked guy, come on.
