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

[Nightfall]

The only reason why Duckford is mentioned to fight Spence is because of the WBO belt. if he didn't have that then nobody would even care to watch this clown. He brings nothing to the table to make money which is why Toprank dismissed his ass. no way is Al Haymon going out like Arum did.

All fight fans want is the fight. So much bullsht & blaming the other side. The two fighters could get it done if they DEMANDED it. Sad for boxing.

Crawford is a NARCICIST.

This guy is disfusting.

How he talks about himself, he is not humble, he thinks he is the best boxer of the history, but his best win is a shot and smaller Gamboa.

He is one of the worst divas in boxing history

I don't remember such a diva like him.


He did not sell anything, he is not the A aide in this fight.

Canelo being a very good seller, accepted the conditions of Floyd and Cotto.

Because he know he was not the A side


How this guy have fans?

Only black nationalist, this guy is what is wrong whit boxing

Sorry Bud, when you don’t bring any money to the table and your last promoter had no problems saying they lost money promoting your fights you don’t have any leverage.
Al was smart to limit his risk here. If the fight was a big success then everyone makes money but he’s not lighting millions in cash on fire for a guy with no fanbase that wasted his prime years hiding behind Arum instead of building himself up.
If Bud’s next fight actually happens m, and I’m still skeptical, they won’t make a dime on that event either.

B side Bud acts like he has status he hasn’t earned.

This.

This....

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?

No, it doesn't make any sense at all. None, nada, zero. You just contradicted such nonsense with the rest of your post.

I can't dislike any fighter that much. A fighter with TC's caliber being offered zero guarantee is absolute crap. I have said my piece. You can disagree to agree.

This is the best fight to be made in boxing. in my opinion it’s a true 50/50 fight and potentially a legendary matchup. Both men are excellent fighters.

As a fan that is all that really matters, but there’s a never ending stream of nonsense that gets posted around here. As if any of us know anything other than what is publicly available or what some fools here conjure from their limited imaginations. Why does the discussion always center around money and contracts and gossip and ‘my guy wins’ dumb statements.

Imagine if your financial decisions were public and subject to this idiotic analysis.

This is supposed to be a boxing site, so why isn’t it ever about matchups, skills, strength and weaknesses?

Instead you want to talk about other people’s money. Lame.

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

Wrong, Ill talk about him.

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.

I am a BIG fan of PBC, but that's irrelevant! I hope Spence chooses one of those 3 I mentioned, if not, I'll be highly disappointed, just like I am with Crawford vs. Avanesyan! TRASH! I would've rather seen him choose Boots or Ortiz too, but he went for the bag, and not his legacy...again! I do hope he wins his court case, because his resume at 147 is horrible!

Shut up, a better fighter with better career and better fan base like Juan Manuel Marquez only won 5 million against a Star like Pacquiao.


This diva is one of the worst in boxing history.

[Bronx2245]

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.

He's also beating WW Champions on the regular! 3 to be exact!
