Comments Thread For: Showtime Head on Crawford's 'Transparency' Demands: Absolutely Baffling; Got to Have Certain Level of Trust

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Showtime Sports President Stephen Espinoza doesn't feel that the sticking point that apparently led to the breakdown in negotiations for the undisputed welterweight championship was a reasonable one.

One of the few times he has a point

Lmao yeah it's Crawfords fault. That's why Spencer is fighting thurman at a higher weight class

[ThrowbackBoxing]

Anytime the entire team (including Showtime sports head) has to sway the people regarding a deal in which the man who publicly accepted 35% is somehow the hold up .. forget it, this is a common sense situation. A man who had minimal issue getting fights at 35 & 40 is now suddenly hard to make fights with at WW? Ok .. TC is being blackballed period.

Crawford sabotaged the fight everyone in the business knows it let the dud fans scream all they want lol

I seriously wish they stopped posting articles regarding a matchup between Crawford and Spence. Even the business side. I’m sick of this shyt show.

I literally don’t want to see any article unless the fight is finalized.

im confident this fight won’t happen. I don’t care who’s to blame anymore lol

I'm right there with you. Crawford is out of his mind and Spence is the most lackluster unified champ in boxing.

Epinoza is describing how Don King made his money off dumb fighters. If he doesn't want transparency give him an up front guarantee.Epinoza's team could literally pocket the whole check legally without transparency he would just sub contract to his own firms.

Who’s going to go into a deal where you’re at someone else’s mercy until the very last second?”

The irony is that Espinoza makes this comment but that's exactly what he expected Crawford to do.

For the record, I'm not in one camp or the other with this situation. Been way too much bravado and posturing from the beginning with both sides.

im really not feeling mr. espenosas comments/ he seems to be working too hard with al haymon and the spence camp as the head of showtime who was going to broadcast the fight,,, what concern is it of yours what the contract says or doesnt say? shouldnt that be between the 2 camps and their attorneys, or is showtime and pbc one and the same?
