      Craw is poison at the box office and will continue to struggle getting fights until he finally quits in frustration. Boxing currently adrift with no comprehensive plan of substance to bring it back as the King of Sports.


      yeah everyone was praising him for fighting danny garcia after the crash like it was some big deal, danny has been a gate keeper for 10 freaking years. His big claim to fame is knocking out glass chin khan in 2012 at 140, whoop de ***ing doo danny. He even had a harder than expected decision over a geriatric fat morales

        You may be right about Craw. He's hard to deal with when it comes to money matters. Just seeing his scuffle with Hoya on social media made me think he's not satisfied with the money he got from the Spence fight.

          Except those titles won't be available for others for many months to come.
          That might be the only answer to this rematch issue. Both fighters simply do not care. You probably have to ask this question again by late 2024.

            I hope you are correct but I suspect you aren't & Errol is just being giving max time to recover. I'd bet we see this rematch in the first qtr of 2024 or worse case first half of 2024.

              It's the only answer for now. Neither guy is in a rush to go back in the ring. They made lots of money already to last them years without fighting.

                Haymon is surely using Davis' next fight and the Crawford-Spence rematch as bait to land a new TV deal.
                Also pulled Keef, Danny Lara and Stanley card in his package along with Canelo 2 fights. See if Amazon falls for it.

                  Interesting part was his scuffle with Dela Hoya happened right in the midst of Showtime exiting boxing announcement. It's like still selling your over-priced house that is already on fire, or any similar analogy.

                      According to Spence's trainer, James, they're waiting on Bud's decision.

                      "...James is also waiting on Crawford’s decision. If the pound-for-pound star agrees to allow their rematch to take place in the junior middleweight division, James is convinced that fans will see a completely different fighter.​"

                      No one knows Errol Spence Jr. quite like Derrick James. The world-renowned trainer has been there from the very beginning. From teaching Spence how to throw the jab to showing him how to work on the inside, to successfully guiding him to three world titles in the welterweight division - the constant has been James.
