I don't think Crawford "ducked" Spence. I think he cost himself the fight because he WILDLY overestimated his popularity and drawing power.

yes terry there will be fans that dont like u & they will include the fans of the guys u beat to conquer the division too, the more successful u are actually the more detractors u will have too, comes with the territory, if u fail to even try to conquer a division u will have even more fans taking bad about u & if u say stuff like i already did a division so i dont need to do it again, well thats not good at allComment

The critics in this forum don't realize one thing. Each one of the fighters that Crawford beat that everyone say are nobodies, could turn all of you into a vegetable within 30 seconds if you were boxing them in the ring. Each one of you would be made into a different type of vegetable from the worst fighter on Bud's resume. Some of you would be asparagus, some kohlrabi. Some of u would become a brussel sprout. But you would all have one thing in common. You'd be drooling and unable to speak or criticize anyone ever again, after just one round with the worst fighter that Bud has fought. And that would be good for the worldLast edited by archiemoore1; 11-28-2022, 06:39 PM.Comment

You say that like any fighter in the history of the four belt era of the sport has ever been undisputed in more than one weight class. When it comes to Crawford people just create completely arbitrary standards that no one has ever lived up to. Why?yes terry there will be fans that dont like u & they will include the fans of the guys u beat to conquer the division too, the more successful u are actually the more detractors u will have too, comes with the territory, if u fail to even try to conquer a division u will have even more fans taking bad about u & if u say stuff like i already did a division so i dont need to do it again, well thats not good at allComment

While agreeing to take a fight of this magnitude for zero upfront money and a significantly smaller percentage of the net profits than Spence. Yet he’s asking for crazy money… If you don’t even care if your criticisms of the guy bear any truth to them you can’t act confused when people just consider you to be a hater.Comment

I think Al Haymon and thus Errol Spence never had any intentions of allowing this fight to happen. Acting like having either agreeing party request an expense sheet is an unreasonable request for a contractual agreement that only allows each agreeing party to be compensated by splitting net profits is an obvious ploy to scuttle negotiations.Comment

Upfront money? Lol what..look man im not falling for that 'lack transparency' bs speech from bud ,haymon ,esj and bud himself said it was almost done deal and was about to be announced ,keep in mind when such big announcement with date confirmed are made its cause both parties agreed to all or most terms, purse % splits and ppv revenue most importantly, sadly bud had other plans all along the rest is history
