Comments Thread For: Crawford: Fight With Spence Sells Itself, We Don't Need To Act Crazy

[MusoMeanderings]

Bud being broke, he decides to walk to the arena on the night of the fight.

Spence drives by and offers him a lift.

Dud accepts and Spnce crashes into a telephone pole.

They both receive non-life-threatening but career-ending injuries.

The end.

Spence has to show us who he truly is, vs the top level, he has struggled vs this welter crop with no killers in that bunch. Last night I watched spence vs Danny Garcia and a weird fight with the PBC punch counter in round 1 to distract eyes here is my score

Round 1-errol
Round 2- Errol
Round 3- swift
Round 4- swift
Round 5-swift
Round 6-errol(dominated)
Round 7- swift
Round 8- Errol(dominated)
Round 9- swift
Round 10- Errol (toss up)
Round 11-Garcia
Round 12 Garcia(stole the last ten secs)

Disregard the PBC punch counter and Spence pitty patting to lock Garcia hands up, my boxing eye saw Garcia figure out the distance to fight from round nine and aggressively cut off the ring and Spence didn't like and couldn't deal there. If Garcia couldn't control the distance there and dictate the pace of the fight as he did with the low punch count from both, I think Crawford could best Garcia in that regard, stronger, faster. Quicker,longer....I'm not even sure he beat Danny Garcia in 2023 off tape

So Garcia won 7-5

arum tried to get bud to sell a fight once

Not many people outside of boxing knew who Floyd Mayweather Jr. was before he started selling himself just before the ODLH fight. The 24/7 show alone made him a mainstream star. He wasn’t even 30.
Bud never wanted to sell himself and it’s hurt him. One of the reasons Arum said he lost money promoting him. It’s part of the game. The fight can get people interested but to be a big PPV number casuals need to get invested in both fighters.

I agree not selling himself hurt his chances at the Protected Boys Club, but in the end he got the fight he wanted and thats all that matters now.

This might just be Spence trying to fight and trade punches and Crawford just keeping away and punching a few times to try to win on points in an uneventful boxing match.

You missed what the man said he said neither one of them has to go out and act crazy/out of character to sell the fight, and he's right imo.

Floyd was cool with acting like a buckdancimg coon to sell a fight its a difference

[Teetotaler69]

I somewhat agree. But both guys personality are bland af. A lil trash talk could only help

“Crawford has to show us who he truly is, vs the top level,” ….
Garcia is way better than Avanesyan, Benavidez Jr, Kavaliauskas, Khan and Brook. Those are your “top level” competition Bud has fought. And that’s not including Porter who was coming off a loss to Spence.

Without Floyd’s bad boy persona he does not become a global superstar, and does not hold 5 of the top 10 highest grossing PPV events.
Your toxic hate as always shows up to shyte on someone that’s been retired 5 years.

As for Bud and Spence not going out to sell the fight, it’s true but that fight will not sell 1.5 million PPV so who has the last laugh in the financial sense?
