    Spence should withdraw from the rematch now, take the rest of the year off and then come back at 154 against an easy touch.
    If money & age wasn't part of the equation I'm sure he would. But this rematch is probably a $20M-25M check & how many cats are turning that down? And if he took a year off he'll be almost 35 by the time he fights again & boxing isn't very forgiving with age in non-HW divisions. This fight is likely his last big super fight type payday, esp if he loses the rematch, so $$$-wise the move is take the rematch.

      That's pretty optimistic of you but do you really think a Crawford-Spence rematch can generate those types of numbers when the first fight was such a foregone conclusion?

      I mean, people were shocked how easily Crawford dispatched Spence, so much so that the so called 50-50, "superfight," turned out to be a disappointing dud.

      Good luck trying to get the casuals to spend almost another 100$ on Crawford-Spence 2.

        Yeah I can’t see a rematch drawing anywhere near as much as the first fight did. The intrigue has dissipated.

          spence after crawford looked like cotto after pacquiao was done with him.

          this rematch would be like if pacquiao never fought margarito and instead took an immediate rematch against cotto at 154 after their first fight.
          it's possible there may be less knockdowns, but crawford would still hurt him or worse, beat spence so bad, that he would probably never win another world title after, and would be a walking corpse for anybody there.

          spence should've taken a tune up at 154 like a thurman or something.

          it will be difficult for spence to enter the hall of fame after this. bradley barely made it in and yet, he still has a better record than spence.

            Good comparison.

            I reckon Spence makes the HOF though- the standards aren’t that high these days.

              I believe Spence can do it much better at 154.

                    It'll take a hit I'm sure so I partially agree with you, but it'll be a big fight that casuals will drift towards again cuz thats what casuals always do. It did $80M between PPV revenue & gate so there is room for it to take a hit & both fighters still make 8 digits. Maybe I am optimistic at $20M-$25M idk I was purely speculating tbf, but I'm sure there is huge 8 digit money for both in a rematch.

                      Only Manny wanted a rematch for Cottos 154 titles and Cotto said no problems only no CW and Manny said no fight without a CW, Terrence wont duck Spence like that he believes he can beat Errol at any weight, Manny did not believe that about Cotto.
