Comments Thread For: Showtime Head on Making Spence-Crawford: I'm Not Gonna Give Up Until Both of Them Are Retired

[Rebelrbg]

BLK tried to talk to Boots pops about making Crawford-Ennis.


Pops said "nah bruh we're good". Wouldnt even take a meeting.

What could BLK PRIME have given to Showtime for them to allow a championship fight between Boots and Crawford on an upstart app streaming service rather than on Showtime? Unless Bozy was willing to break his contract with his promoter and his exclusive deal with Showtime, then that wouldn't make sense.

Stephen Espinoza says he will not stop trying to make Errol Spence Jr. vs Terence Crawford so long as both fighters are active. .....AND....he is willing to aid and abet Al Hayman, Mayweather Promotions and Errol 'the tooth' Spence to PICK Bud's Pocket to make that fight.

Go make a name for yourself with 2 other fighters, because you blew this one son.

[Rebelrbg]

It has been reported that Spence and Crawford have agreed to the split percentage without the advisors or network involved. They appear to want to make the fight instead of, or after, their upcoming respective fights.

You have permission to give up, Stephen. Nobody cares anymore. Ortiz-Stanionis coming up next month.

I don't think Spence can even make 147 anymore.

[al-Xander]

I don't get it. Why is Espinoza taking credit now? Does this basically translate to Al Haymon being the main roadblock in the fight all along?

[Bronx2245]

Just give up already. Duckford got $1.5 million in his last fight when he could've made $25 million fighting Spence. so much for his transparency debacle. Now he's over the with promoter De la hoya its going to be even more difficult. move on

I heard that rumor, but do you have any proof, or any links? I figured BLK Prime was gonna flop, but Crawford said he was making 8 figures for that fight!

[al-Xander]

This fight is happening now because both fighters took it upon themselves to agree to terms, not because someone like Espinoza made it happen. That should always be the bottom line in every high profile fight. Any network can carry such fight. And they would readily acknowledge they only have supporting roles in the fight.

[Knuckle sandwich]

I don't think Spence can even make 147 anymore.

Yeah he can't make 147, this why there has been so much procrastinating, the fight won't happen at 147, but the fall out for both fighters for them personally if they never fight is huge, a life time of being asked why they didn't fight each other.... Yikes

[Lefty0616]

This fight is most likely not going to happen. If it does, one of the two (if not both) will have more than likely have suffered a first loss.

Crawford has shown that he's okay with Spence going up in weight. Crawford's frame is too small for middleweight competition.

The only way they will eventually meet will be at a catch weight....and that's if they meet.

Very disappointed in the ducking and dodging.

Crawford can say whatever, his camp ducked and dodged.
