Comments Thread For: Hearn Chimes In On Spence-Crawford: "To The General World, It's Not As Big As You Think It Is"

[Sid-Knee]

If Hearn was promoting it then he would had titled it the biggest fight of the decade.

There was buzz for this fight amongst the casuals, the match ups is what sells the fight. But he is right in one thing is that some fighters think that they are worth more than what the market can pay them.

Eddie wouldn't come close to saying that. Because it's nowhere near to being.

If on the off chance it does get made, you're going to be really disappointed with the PPV numbers. It's a good fight, nothing more. Horrible clash of styles though.

Its a 500-700k buys kind of fight. Big but not huge.

Well he was promoting that Eubank/Benn Circus fight...

[Boxingfanatic75]

why would he have to leave his promoter to make the fight though? Especially when the promoter was willing to co-promote and even let him fight on PBC exclusively for that Spence fight?

It is weird that I don’t see this horde of hoes saying Charlo should’ve left PBC, but instead Canelo was ducking. Or Tank should leave PBC to fight someone worth sht Etc.

This is about Spence and his choices vs. Crawford; not Charlo. Spence is selling out stadiums, getting big fights, doing well in PPVs. He commands a higher dollar than Crawford. The post I spoke of had nothing to do with Canelo or Charlo. Just simply Crawford. Since leaving TR he has come to the realization he is barely worth 7 figures. Bob was probably 100% right in saying he was losing money on him. Partly due to Bob but even bigger on Crawford. He does nothing to sell his fights. Yet he believes he command top dollar and can barely scratch the surface on a break even point in his PPVs. He is delusional to think any promoter at this stage of his career is going to fork over the money he seeks. He’ll never again see the gravy train Bob was feeding him. He isn’t big on legacy.

He is 100% right

He’s getting 10mil for Avanesyan. That’s all that needs to be said regarding those last lines.

Again. Why was he required to leave his promoter considering the thing’s I’ve mentioned? What’s the reason?

I’ll see it when I believe it. He signed with another Johnny come lately Triller/RocNation and we saw why Triller went under because they couldn’t honor their contracts! The PPV won’t see 150k buys. The gate in Oklahoma isn’t going to command 2500 seats so inform the lay person how exactly this new promotional outfit isn’t going to default on the loan they had to secure to make this fight and then pay all the fighters? No known org (DAZN, PBC) is going to fork over 10 mil on a boxer that can rarely and barely break 200k PPV BUYS

He left his promoter then sued him for being “racist.” Never heard of Bob being “racist.”

I don't mean to be mean but.... they just forked over 10 million for Crawford's next fight.

Kinda negates your point of view....no?

Floyd said Bob was a racist and paid him slave wages

[factsarenice]

Wonder if Eddie thinks it's as big as Joshua vs Dillian?
