Comments Thread For: Fury, Crawford Announcements Deflate Late-2022: Weekend Afterthoughts

[b Murphington]

Crawford vs Spence is the new Pacquiao vs Mayweather at this point.

They’ll dance around each other until one or both of them lose to one of the up and comers.

They could’ve fought 4 years ago. I don’t care if they were on different promotional sides. We know that 2 rival promoters can do business together, we’ve seen it happen for big match ups like this and it just didn’t happen.

I think it’ll get done eventually, but it’ll be too late. Crawford will be 40 yrs old and probably end up with a loss on his record by that time. He has an athletic style. Once his athleticism drops off, he’ll probably lose one somewhere down the road before he gets Spence. Real shame.

"In this case, all indications point to Crawford being the one to ultimately walk away from the table. Whatever Crawford didn’t like about the Spence fight, whether monetarily, contractually, or in terms of scheduling, he emerged with his backup plan and moved on."

F--k Bud Crawford! Spence vs. Boots! MAN UP!

Arum Says Fury Vs Usyk Talks Will Begin This Week

Bud Crawford confirmed he agreed to all terms, only asked for transparency in one area.. Spence went ghost due to his weight issues, he can’t make 147, he won’t fight again at 147, probably the next fight will be @154 vs easy peasy Danny Garcia… a place each can hide from real fights!

Crawford is a superb fighter and certainly high up on most pound for pound lists.

It is hard to see, as the article stated, that he could get paid $10m for a fight with Avneysan. It's a fight that's a hard sell.

Spence is not the one who had a Plan B fight negotiated, while he was negotiating for Crawford! I think he will move up, because unlike Crawford, Spence started at WW. I would hope he would give Boots a shot at WW, but I can understand if he goes up for Fundora.

It just shows how much boxing has fallen, when a womans boxing match is one of the major highlights of the year.

Bud made it clear during negotiations, he was fighting before year end, it was no secret.. Spence & PBC turned to ghosts…Spence can’t make 147 to fight Bud or Boots.. it’s so simple to understand this..

yeah thats just what it was, a plan b. meaning if the spence fight doesnt happen its a backup. that doesnt tell you anything about why or why the fight didnt happen. spence trying to use that as an argument in his favor is puzzling and makes me question him. seems like a distraction to not address the actual reasons the fight didnt happen. you saw floyd and his fans use the same argument when floyd was ducking pac. oh pac is fighting someone else! as if he was supposed to wait for floyd when floyd was the one who wouldnt even fight when he got what he wanted.

[rckdees]

That’s the same bs Crawford pulled when he was with scumbag bob…. How can you say you negotiated in good faith when you already had a backup plan?….and you still want to have the fight afterwards???

Wanna know the real story? I’ll tell y’all..Spence don’t have a plan… he’s weighing around 188 LB’s… he’s not fighting Bud or anyone at 147, he can’t… that’s why you hear him talking 154… it’ll be Mid July 2023 before he gets to 154…. Sorry a** cat is all I can say about Spence & PBC!!

crawford could see by how fat spence has been that there was no real negotiation going on,. spence was not ready to fight this year and crawford call the bluff and showed everybody he has been ready to fight at a moments notice!


spence will not fight until 2023 because he isnt ready to make weight for crawford or anyone else! exposed
