Comments Thread For: Hearn Says He Has 'Bit of Sympathy' For Haymon in Spence-Crawford Negotiations

[Bronx2245]

there's no money or sense in fighting Fundora [ I mean, I'd like to see it but thinking from Spence's viewpoint]

- i could live with a Thurman fight if we'd be guaranteed a Bud/Charlo/Boots/Stanionis fight in the 2nd half of the year

Spence was the one who "liked" the idea of fighting Fundora on Twitter! I just don't like the idea of Thurman doing nothing since losing to Manny, and then getting the WBC to OK an eliminator by fighting a guy was was last seen getting KTFO by Tank Davis @ 140! That's ridiculous!

he wanted to take the pot home with him

And then he wanted Haymon to buy him a new kitchen cabinet set with a viking range to cook the pot on

And then the delivery guys who brought him the cabinets had to open their books to make sure they weren't cheating him

They won't make the fight because no dude with one foot in the ring and the other foot in a bar is going to beat Crawford. You have to completely out of your mind if you think otherwise. Spence is a mess. The only hope is Crawford ages in the ring. Crawford is going to take Spence down just like Fury did to Wilder. Spence is Haymon's last ace unless he can get his hands on someone like Ryan Garcia which is why he won't make the Tank fight because he wants Garica's contract from GBP

wait a sec, that sounds right up buds street, ezy money, just pick up that ezy cash, take 40% if u have to & options on any rematch maybe and get it done, get the contract checked by people who know about contracts and if haymon wont do a fair contract tell us exactly what u agreed to and he gets the blame

[Jab jab boom]

Hearn just wants to see other promotions fail the way he has failed at Dazn. He can say Spence vs Crawford won’t be as big as people think it is, but the fact is he’s the one who helped sign guys to absurd guaranteed contracts, didn’t see that work out, backed out of long term contracts and has also gone back on the Ppv is dead theory because none of these guys he thought would do big numbers have had successful events.

Eddie, there's no point explaining the BUSINESS of boxing to people who don't care to try to understand it. It's too much logic for them.

In their minds (anti-Haymon though they be), Haymon should eat it because "the fans want it". That's all they understand. And they're the reason why fights don't get done.

HBO isn't here to eat it. We have to move on.

Actually.....Crawford never asked for a guaranty, there never was a guaranty.

Go ahead and google it then come back and use that edit button ....no shame in that.

Peace out.

If the past is any indication of the future then yes, you are probably correct..... classic PBC playbook.

Fans are not the reason fights don't get done - they have no power. The main reason fights don't happen is because of promotional/broadcasting politics and unrealistic expectations of fighters fuelled by ego and the people in their ear.

Given Haymon doesn't give interviews or release statements, we don't even know the specific reasons this fight didn't happen. Hearn is speculating like everyone else. One thing is for sure, though, Spence - Crawford is not Mayweather - Pacquiao or even Fury - Joshua.

Fans have all the power because they pay the bills.
