Comments Thread For: Spence: I Made Concessions That Business People Felt Crawford Didn't Need Or Deserve

[SweetPbfAli]

Some people said Crawford should just shut up and play the "B-side" and take whatever he was offered.

What did we learn?

Let's start with Crawford getting half the revenue when his biggest PPV was 100k.... When the other guy has sold more 300k+ on multiple occasions.... I'm sure that's what he's talking about.

So you would agree that Crawford played his cards right?

I like there is a rematch clause.

Anyone else notice the maybe at 147 or 154? The 54 would definitely benefit Spence. Is he not confident at 47?

both of these guys it seems are getting at least 10 mil guaranteed for the fight, would arum have made that guarantee if bud was still with him

Answer: That's a hard NOPE!

Obviously there had to be some compromise from both fighters in order for this fight to happen. Instead of finding fault with how the negotiations went, let's just be happy that a great fight has been arranged for us to enjoy.

OldTerry summed it up nicely: "Obviously there had to be some compromise from both fighters in order for this fight to happen. Instead of finding fault with how the negotiations went, let's just be happy that a great fight has been arranged for us to enjoy."

Well put, I could not have said it better myself.

Wasnt long ago when I said Crawf got a better deal than what was presented in their 1st failed negotiations and Big Dunn tried to tell me different.

It doesn't mean he got better, maybe Spence took a cut, only the involved know for sure.

Spence said he made concessions, sounds like it to me. Crawf wasnt budging

Thats what Im saying, Spence took a cut to make it happen if TC didn't budge he got the same deal as before, all speculation though.

Spence is just trying to discredit Crawford without anything specific. But then you read the piece and it says EVEYONE had to make concessions and not just Spence as the headline makes out. It's just the usual pettiness. Crawford it seems is just getting on with it. Spence is doing childish shlt like this. It's clear who is emotionally and mentally ready to go to battle and who isn't.

The journalists made it clear concessions were made. The writer then made it seem like Spence made most or all of the concessions. But the journalist didn’t highlight one concession by Spence. Many hollow remarks with no substance. For Spence to concede a payout of 70/30 favoring Spence to a 55/45 still favoring Spence is no concession at all. Crawford was demanding ordinary equality in the Contract. Anyway Contract signed now- so forget about what’s done. We moving forward now- no more backward stuff bout Contracts etc.
