Is it messed up if Bud dont rematch Spence at 154?

Both Haymon and Crawford were ready to move on if their contractual demands weren't met. After that Avanesyan **** Bud pulled, Errol could have dropped the belts, moved up and fought Thurman at 154 and now be in line for a Canelo bout. He didn't.
Instead, against his own best interest ($$$, weight, layoff), he caved to Bud's demands for the sake of legacy and history and still has yet to make an excuse for his performance.
Now he can't even get a rematch, that he'll certainly lose because Bud is just better, at a comfortable weight that Bud has previously stated he'd have no problem meeting at.Comment

You already know the answer to that.
There's no way Canelo can fight Bud before giving the winner of Benevidez-Andrade a shot. That would be unforgivable.Comment

Spence wasn't getting Canelo in any outcome and neither wil Bud. People need to stop hyping 147s vs 168 champ. Avensayan bull? He was a free agent Haymon and Spence had months to make it and couldn't so he went and made a quick 10m and stsyed active, smart. Spence did not favours to Bud he did what he was suppose to ages ago.he should not be getting extra credit should be the other way for taking the p*** making the fight clearly they could have last year if they did this year. Thurman would have kod spence anyway and ive saod that before july 29

if it's at 154 then they can use that to sell the fight... "you will see a new spence at 154".... although the rematch will not sell as much as a fight with TC and canelo...I still think the rematch with TC vs spence will do better than TC vs charlo.
Because he doesn't really want it he is looking ahead at Canelo Charlo etc, I don't see how they could pay for the fight its not going to generate anywhere near what it did and the fighters want more money than the first time, the fall out to all of it will be IF Errol looks really good at his 154 debut, then the weight asterisk will be hanging over the 147 fight until its settled at a higher weight, so for me it all depends on Errols next performance.Comment

No.
But it certainly puts Crawford in a different sort of light. Just a little bit.
He did all that whinging but then does this with Spence and then treats Boots like how the others were treating him.Comment

Curious... Would you rather see Bud v Spence at 154, or Bud V Charlo at 154, or Bud v Canelo at 168?
For me personally, I'd prefer to see Bud take on Charlo at 154, whether the latter wins or loses against Canelo, and if he beats Charlo, then take on whoever is champion at 168. For Bud's sake, that ought to be Canelo just because I doubt Charlo becomes a huge cash cow even if he beats Canelo. I don't care about the Boots or Stanionis fights. Both those guys need to stay active. I'd like to see them fight at 147 for a vacant belt, TBH, and I would like to see Spence v Vergil Ortiz Jr or Tim Tszyu at 154.Comment

I don’t get it man, he’s just gonna get outclassed and beaten up again.
I’m a big fan of both guys, from a Spence fan standpoint I don’t see any benefit of taking the immediate rematch. Got to 154, rebuild your confidence against Thurman type, try pick up a belt at 154 and then maybe look at the rematch if you’re dead set on it. That way there’s at least a selling point of Spence looking back to his best at 154. Crawford wins regardless though.Comment

Because his career is done. Maximize money. How much would Spence/Thurman Ppv do? Spence could lose that fight even.

I reckon it does solid numbers tbf. Spence is a pretty big draw going off his previous PPV fights- they’d try and market it as a grudge match too.
I think he handles Thurman pretty comfortably too. Thurman is just looking to cash out IMO.Comment
