Comments Thread For: Derrick James Says Crawford Has 'Uneducated Perspective' of Himself in Spence Fight

[TheIronMike]

Crawford has never been a PPV attraction so nothing changed at all. He did however get a devastating KO which did nothing but help build a fight with Spence once again.

Something did change, it's called a downward trend, you moron.

Boot's don't want that smoke, have you a brain In that head dude, he's petitioning the IBF, he's going the Ibf route, him and his team don't want that work. Regardless of what there spitting on social media.

Below are three sources clearly showing Boots calling out Crawford. So either you don’t know shït about boxing or you are just a hating idiot.

Spence has never had a problem negotiating a fight until now. This is a recurring issue with Crawford. Ask his former promoter.

Recurring issue? I swear Spence fans and now Derrick James are just fabricating at this point. When has Crawford ever had a problem negotiating a fight other than with Spence? Bob Arum has never said anything about Crawford impeding the negotiations for any fight. And even if he did its the promoter’s job to secure fights not the fighter’s. The fact that y’all just be inventing excuses and trying to spread rumors based on straight up lies is making Spence look worse and worse. And if this comment section is an example the fans are starting to see through this nonsense.

Those links do not clearly indicate anything other than biased journalists writing slanted articles and asking leading questions. The first article clearly says that Ennis is going the IBF route and petitioning to try to secure a fight against Spence. So it negated its own headline with that one sentence. And the Fighthype interviewer indicated that Jaron Ennis has an exclusive broadcast deal with Showtime during the interview, which also negated the previous leading questions/statements that he had made. How would it even be possible for BLK Prime to offer him a fight against Crawford on their platform with his current obligations with Showtime? The interviewer was basically making statements and asking Ennis to confirm what he was saying. Jaron Ennis at no point just voluntarily called out Crawford. In the first article he was suggesting that Crawford should have tried to get a fight with Keith Thurman. Which we all know from Thurman’s antics alone would never be able to happen. Thurman is all talk and Crawford would have had to go through Al Haymon to get that fight made the same as with Spence. Its completely unrealistic to believe that he can exit negotiations with one PBC fighter and just enter into negotiations with Al Haymon again for another fighter that he represents. Ennis was obviously being disingenuous. And boxing 24/7 is a fan site with nothing but biased articles for the most part. The writers there don’t even pretend to be objective. The third link was broken. And I see that Ennis is becoming more and more of a point of deflection for Spence fans when we’re talking about the Spence vs Crawford fight/negotiations. Ennis himself is not the source of these deflection tactics. His name is just being used. I don’t blame him for taking advantage of it because its propelling his name into the spotlight. But this whole Ennis vs. Crawford conversation is premised upon false pretenses.

Alright. Let’s stick with Crawford only.
Crawford has stated that he wants fight three times in 2023.
Which three guys should Crawford go after?

[Oregonian]

The fight is right there to be made: $25 million guaranteed and 20% backend money. All Spence has to do is say yes and show up to the fight.

Do you have a source to back this wild claim? Other than Crawford stating it without proof of course.

[Oregonian]

So you are actually agreeing that Crawford fought a nobody. Kudos for your honesty.

Downward trend on what exactly?

[Jsmooth9876]

The flaw in your reply is, I go based on the BUSINESS of boxing, which you keep ignoring.

In the BUSINESS of boxing, people watched this guy get a guaranteed $10 million to hit some defenseless guy with sketchy gloves and get a complaint filed, meanwhile he sued his last promoter who was also overpaying him. Meanwhile he barely drew 5k.

Derrick James is telling you the truth. He doesn't get the BUSINESS of boxing, and neither do you.

Spence could fight Vergil Ortiz and get way more support from fans, because Ortiz draws money.

The point is, his value didn't drop one bit since they last negotiated. They don't want the fight, that's fine. They should just move on and stop even talking about him at this point.
