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

Bivol/Ramirez and Prograis/Zepeda are the best match ups 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..

Spence can do it, and has done it, but he doesn't want to do it, if its not Crawford! I don't have a real problem with Bud wanting to fight, but damn, at least he could've fought Vergil Ortiz Jr.! Do you know how lit Dallas would've been for that?

[Bronx2245]

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.

Did Floyd say Manny was scared of needles? Did Floyd say they needed an outdoor stadium? Did Floyd create fake contracts for Manny to sign? The fight happened, because Floyd met with Manny, and they made it happen! They made a killing too, especially Floyd! Bud is on the paper chase and I get it, but don't blame Spence! He's still looking for a dance partner! I just hope it's Boots Ennis!

If Spence wanted to give y'all a great fight after Crawford fell apart, he has Ennis and Ortiz Jr right there. Nah, he will fight Stanley Boy or Keef. Those 2 aren't any better than Avanesyan who has 6 consecutive knockouts. Stanley just barely has over 6 KOs and it's been about 6 years since Mr One Time actually had a stoppage. See no difference tween their opponents. Put down the Kool-Aid

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

Spence was ready for November! I don't know where you're getting your info from! Bud went his own way, and he's getting 8 figures for Avanesyan! Go Bless him! Don't blame Spence! That's on Bud! Bud's resume at 147 is trash! Spence has proven himself at 147, so maybe it's time he goes to 154? Fundora will be good, but I think Boots would be even better!

Do you remember Josh Taylor vs Jose Ramirez? Vergil Ortiz would get put down to stay vs Bud Crawford… Vergil can mention Bud all he wants to, Golden Boy ain’t doing it!

Spence went ghost due to his weight issues

LoL! Even Boxing Scene reported Team Spence was complaining because Team Crawford went silent for two weeks or more after a contract revision was written that Team Crawford asked for. That's a pitiful attempt at spin on your part. LoL!

"Spence went ghost" ... yeah, let's try that. Haha!

How soon before Bud is suing someone 'cause the Avenesyan fight can't find $10 mill to pay him? That, or there's gonna be a "clarification" coming .... saying Bud is getting a percentage of the app for life ... to pay that money, LoL!

Guaranteed, Spence won’t have a fight in Nov or Dec… he won’t lose 30LB’s until July 2023!! He’s around 188 LB this WEEK!

[Mooshashi]

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!

No, the terms were not agreed to on Spence's side because Crawford was demanding all pre-fight expenses to be paid to him, which was nonsense; no
one has those terms in their contracts. The Crawdaddy priced himself out of a fight in which he would have made tens of millions of dollars; now he'll be lucky
to get 50 cents because NO ONE in their right mind would pay $39.99 to see this farce.
