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

[hhh1200]

Porter-Crawford did 130Kish, whilst the Avanesyan fight did 5000 buys.

Thats a 96% decrease. A literal cliff dropoff.

So one guy notes TV buys but doesn't know the digital buys and that is the gospel?

Spence is not Canelo or AJ. The UK and Arabs aren't offering massive money to see him. And if the Arab step forward for the fight, it will be because of the 2 not the wildly popular Spence, LOL.

100% sure SRL was levels more popular than Thomas Hearns when they fought.

It's amazing how the man fans of this generation don't want to see the fight b/c their man might get or most likely will be beaten. He signed up to be a fighter. Crawford fans just want to see the fight.

It's time to close the chapter on their generation unless Spence is planning to defend his belts against Ortiz and Ennis. His man fans don't want that either, keep saying Crawford needs to fight them but they have done everything to remove themselves from the WBO mandatory spot.

Spence will never give Crawford the chance to knock him out. He’ll continue to fight lesser fighters for decent money. Crawford just wants fair compensation and to whoop Spencer’s butt spencers people will keep Crawford away. It really sucks that Crawford wants to fight and spencers guys are staying on his side of the tracks to avoid destruction.

What are you on about, Crawford fans make every excuse in the book why TC walked away from the fight your talking about, it should have been Spence, not David Avansyen, the fight we all want was on the table already and TC walked away, its like write your own timetable when it suits TC, the fight was there for the talking and one guy went missing.

So whenever anyone makes any accusation or claim, a denial is all one needs to dismiss those accusations?
PAC is a bigger name than Spence and Crawford yet he didn’t even make $25 million when he fought Thurman or Broner or Mathysse.

Crawford vs Spence if it happens will not make a million PPV because neither has that fan base or crossover appeal.
$25 million a piece is an outlandish and ridiculous claim to make. If it is true then Spence is an idiot for not taking it BUT Spence did say that Crawford refused to name the hedge fund that would front that money. So either Crawford is lying or Spence is but you choose to believe your guy.

I believe Crawford. I also believe that Spence's team don't believe Spence can beat Crawford.

This is all fine and we are in agreement so WHEN Crawford decides to fight Broner or Ugas or anyone besides Spence and Ennis, how will you defend him?

Why would I need to defend him? I’m a fan of boxing. I like watching fights. So I guarantee you no matter who he or anyone else decides to fight I won’t get on the comment section and start complaining. I’m a long time boxing fan. So I’m used to the reality that my dream fights don’t always happen.

I responded to your post. You stated (he does) when talking about Crawford having less leverage than before. I asked how he did. You instead want to act like I'm the one not understanding how things work here lol. And I agree, boxing is a disgrace, it's all about A side B side BS and the fangirls here have bought in hook line and sinker

I stated (He does) but reading is fundamental.

I stated (If James says Crawford has less leverage HE DOES)

As in James says that, not me.

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.

Ok , that's nice.

So get ya boy to put the paper work in. tell him, hey Ennis, that's how this s.h.i.t. works mate , your people, they got to put the paperwork in .

Put your money where your mouth is plan and simple.

Let's see someone , anyone get in the ring after his fight, doing his post fight interview and call him out on live TV in the ring.

Last time I checked, so called champions would rather walk clean out the stadium then get up in the ring and call the p4p king out

If he wanted it that bad, the fight would get made.

It's not a charity. The B-Side needs to follow the rules.

In job search, you don't roll up in there demanding $500k/month. They'll pay you what they feel like paying, and you take it or walk. That's what this is.

You want Spence to treat a B-Side like an equal. It doesn't work that way. It's not about Spence, it's about B-Side fighters not understanding their place despite their last promoter publicly admitting he he lost his shirt on the guy because he doesn't draw.

The fight gets done when B-Side fighters humbly accept what they're offered.

The reason Crawford won't is, he's not confident he can beat Spence, so for him it's a cashout opportunity.

OK then I misread your thoughts there, my apologies. Although you probably should have said (He did) referring to James saying it lol.

Crawford allegedly agreed to ZERO guarantee. What else you want from the guy? You want him to pay them to fight Spence? Lol, there is no excuse for this fight not getting made except for the one guy who's manager tells him when to jump and how high.
