    Just because BLK prime lit $10 million on fire doesn’t mean Haymon should do the same.

    It’s not about what you paid it’s about what you brought back. Prize fighting is a business not a charity.

    If Bud wants to act like a draw he needs to show he is one. Arum and Top Rank stated they lost money on him for years and now he’s on his own and his fight bombed big.

      Even Spence doesn’t believe your bullsht. The guy is on audio saying Crawford is the biggest money fight for him.

        Spence: Terence is the only fight I want. That’s the most money fight. That’s the legacy fight. That’s it right there.

        Also Spence: I’m not fighting Thurman.

        Meanwhile, Spence Team: We petitioned for Thurman next.​

          After all the tough talk from Spence and wanting to fight Crawford...Spence has been petitioning for Thurman all along? Are you kidding me.

            They never wanted to fight Crawford. 8 month of negotiations to offer nothing and meanwhile Spence weighting 180lbs.

              Anyone who knows PBC knew they didn't want Bud...and especially after seeing the huge "Crawford is ducking!!!" media blitz campaign that Spence and PBC pulled when Bud announced he was getting 10 mil to fight Ava....the whole thing was clear to most when it first happened, PBC does not want Spence anywhere near Crawford.

              Now that Spence showed up looking like he was about to stick a beard on and go play Santa after the fight Sat, wearing a back brace and limping, everyone can see what is going on.

                He's saying, don't negotiate in bad faith on the sneak. Just say you're negotiating a tune-up with a firm commit to fight Spence immediately after.

                Instead of his Damage Control Tour approach that rendered him a ducking coward.

                  This is you playing word games, what he meant is they would let him from their half of the negotiation, it's not a case of allowing, its giving the ok, glad you told us maybe we could get back together and talk again.

                  The way people in here miss construe things for their own agenda is unreal.

                    This is BS, like you know PBC, you know the hype that's all.

                    The TC is ducking started from TC had nothing to do with Spence or PBC who was practically mouse quiet, people added up the pieces and then watched Bud contradict himself a 100 times and decided for themselves Bud was ducking. Even now Spence is respectful and not throwing anything other than Bud could have done things differently, he is not making movies about how bad TCs resume is, how TC is not the top dawg he is, how TC hasn't beaten anyone, Spence doesn't hate on anybody and is one of the most grounded fighters in the sport.

                    The perspective fans look through is just so amazingly twisted all based on their Tonka Truck is better than yours.

                      "Crawford revealed after he accepted BLK Prime’s offer to fight Avanesyan that he had agreed to fight Spence for no guarantee. Whereas BLK Prime reportedly paid him an eight-figure purse, Crawford would’ve made all of his money from a Spence fight based on his percentage of the overall revenue generated from the event."

                      Bud wasn't confident that his take from the revenue of his fight with Spence would suffice. Come on man, do you really think you'd make more fighting Avenesyan? EVERYONE wants to see you fight Spence!! AND you agreed to the terms!
