LOL, Keef already said months ago he would be fighting Spence. Spence and Espinoza is a joke to throw everyone off. That wasnt by mistake. Haymon and Co know it's bad publicity if Spence fights voluntarily so they are making it looks like he is resisting the Thurman fight. Plus Haymon controls his career with that 360 contract. He isn't throwing anything away.
WBC order Spence vs Thurman.

The good ole days. Hell ill take FNF, shobox, and some CBS afternoon fights and I will be fine.
I feel you man. I just refuse to pay out of principle these days. Boxing is killing itself by limiting it’s own audience. The PPV revenue is generally never re-invested back into the sport either. It’s just take, take, take.
When I was a kid I remember 16m people tuning in to watch boxing on terrestrial TV, now they sling fights behind a paywall for an audience of less than 1% of that and people wonder why the popularity of the sport is declining.Comment

Boots is the best fight but very high risk low reward at this point. I think Thurman-Spence does big PPV numbers as both have done well in sales. If Thurman shows up in great shape like I know he will it’ll be a great fight.Comment

That is boxing nowadays.
Chisora is the money fight at hw, but if someone wants legacy, beating come unbeaten contender brings it more.
If it is all about the money, than I guess Spence -Thurman is a big fight.
But we all know it is a garbage with zero legacy.
Spence will earn more respect if he drops WBC belt to the garbage and fights Ennis.

Thurman is not the same dude who fought Shawn Porter and Diego Chaves, is the shell of a dude who couldn't get a 135 out of there that Cabbage Patch Davis stopped. Spence is a complete body puncher. Thurman doesn't like it...

freaher against collazo but issues with the body.
What does Spence specialize in? The fight is an $80 Al Haymon Joke!Comment

I don't mind this fight. If Spence wins, this will change negotiations with Crawford. Spence will understandably want a bigger cut. It may make the Crawford fight even harder to make. Unless they both move to 154 and realize there is no one at 154 anyone cares to see them fight besides Charlo...who will probably avoid both of them by dropping titles and moving to 160.Comment

Spence has nowhere to run, Ennis is coming for IBF belt. He will have to fight him or vacate.
Will Spence move to 154 and fight his friend Charlo? I don`t think so.Comment

Unfortunately, everyone on NSB would attack Spence for ducking were he to do that.At a news conference, the Associated Press reported that Bowe picked up the belt and dropped it into a large black garbage can. "The WBC is wrong, and I will not be intimidated by them," he said. "I am the heavyweight champion of the world and today I withdraw my recognition of the WBC. I am stripping them. ... If Lewis wants the belt, he has to get it out of the garbage. Then we will call him 'garbage picker.' "
