Comments Thread For: Crawford On Spence Talks: Even Though I Knew I Was Getting F------, I Just Wanted Transparency

[tokon]

If what Crawford says is true it puts things on haymon/Spence so let's hear from their side what the problem was!

[Sctrojan]

Mark my words, no one will talk about Crawford after he retires, he will not be missed, he will not be discussed with the greats, he will be compared to no one. He will be this generation’s version of Juan Coggi. For all his protection, Coggi at least mixed it up with Randall in fights where the winner was unknown. But hey, to Crawford’s credit he will retire a wealthy man having never been able to sell a PPV and only filling stadiums and arenas in Nebraska. I reckon that counts for something

Your hate for Crawford because he stood up for himself,earnings,family's finances and didn't allow himself to be another PBC pawn is absolutely pathetic.

Hate to break it to you but Spence and Crawford will both never be discussed in the same breathe as past Jr.W/WW greats let alone all time greats. None more or less than the other. The man decided to overlook PBC' financial inability to offer some amount of gaurantee,which is absolutely ridiculous whichever way you look at it and take the short end of the split. He says ok to all of that but understandably wants transparency because at the end of the day,his take home pay due to PBC's ineptitude financially,is literally based on how many hotdogs and churros Al Haymon can sell during the fight??

But because he isn't part,or willing to bend over to your savior and his flock,you spew spite towards a man having a backbone to stand up for himsel and family?!? Fuchin pathetic.....

Oh but let me guess,you had no qualms on Wilder turning down a legitimate $120 million GAURANTEED offer from DAZN because he didn't know how much Joshua was getting paid and got his "feelings" hurt though right? Your such ****e,spiteful blind poster anything non PBC/Al Haymon related.

Will anyone really remember Spence? A weight-bully fighter with little charisma who has fought a collection of out-their-depth mandatories, overweight cash grabbers like Mikey Garcia, overrated fighters like Ugas and Porter and guy coming off eye socket surgery (Kell Brook)? All while jeopardizing his career through reckless out of the ring behavior that miraculously avoided killing him and possibly others? Both Spence and Crawford can leave boxing and no one will remember either one in a year.

Can't wait to hear Spence's version! All we do know is that Crawford had a Plan B in the works! I hope Spence's Plan B does not involve Keith Thurman! Boots, Ortiz, or Fundora! Choose one!

lot of brain dead fools on here pbc protecting the biggest coward after aj in boxing spence....hes terrified of crawford and continuosly soils himself if buds in his vicinity gutless pbc coward not fit to be a boxer better driver than he is a boxer..............

One guy continually fights the best, even after long layoffs and possible career threatening injuries.

The other fights fringe contenders, washed past prime guys and outright bums.

That's all you need to know. Wake me up when the 35 year old wants to test himself against the best for once.

All we know is you’re one of the biggest PBC fangirls. Spence confirmed on the “leaked” phone call Thurman is his backup. That’s why he wanted the Crawford fight, but Spence is no boss, Al Haymon bends him over and takes him whenever he wants.

Best thing Spencer boy can do is vacate to give Al the middle-finger. Otherwise he’s a liar. Lying about being his own boss. Lying about not fighting Thurman.

You won’t hear a legit version. Spence has been drinking and driving this whole time. That’s his history. He doesn’t know what’s happening.

So now it's general knowledge that TC was not offered any guarantee. At first I thought it's all speculation.

First time I've heard such thing. Even Maidana and all the opponents Floyd fought were all given guarantee money, as far as I know. Makes you think that is how low they are willing to treat a guy arguably the second best in the division. Doesn't make sense even if you're not a TC fan.

It makes absolutely sense, if Bud was unwilling to accept a reasonable guarantee. The guaranteed number was never going to be high for either guy. The bulk of the money is made on the back end.

Errol had a $1.5 million guarantee for Ugas. You really think Bud would accept that after getting a $5 mill guarantee from Bob for fighting Kavaliauskas?

Like it or not,we all know Keith will end up being his dance partner next.

Damn, that's extreme lol. I think he'll be just fine as far as legacy goes. I think we're spoiled coming from the previous generation of welterweights that had two ATGs at the same time that ultimately fought each other and some other fighters during that time that were on also really damn good.

Also, I don't think what Crawford said was farfetched, particularly the way PBC has been operating as of late. Surely the blame can't be 100% his for the fight not happening. The funny part is the guy with the most control is the invisible hand that nobody ever sees and he never has to answer for any of this. People just speculate his position based on much of nothing. It's really bizarre.
