So Spence ain't taking the rematch? (It's been 30 days)

I’m not saying the rematch is going to sell. I agree with you that people have lost interest myself included. I’m saying if I were Spence I wouldn’t care about that I have a contract for a rematch. It’s somebody else’s job to worry about trying to sell the fight.
Thurman ain’t getting anywhere near that. He only got $2.5m against Pacquiao and that’s when he had a belt and 0 to sell.
Spence-Crawford did around 650k buys per the reports, so the rematch does what? 500k max? Meanwhile Spence has generally done around 300k buys even against lesser names like Ugas, the Thurman fight likely hits that number. It’s by far the better business move.
Spence looking impressive up at 154 helps sell the rematch too because nobody with a brain could believe Spence has any chance in that rematch after he was utterly dominated by Crawford.Comment

He doesn’t necessarily have a contract he has a contractual option. He isn’t tied to the rematch or anything like that.
