      I don't care who he signs with as long as the kid stays active.
      Keep the momentum going.

        Say what you want about Jesse...but pretty sure Jesse will take a fight against Spence. Unlike some PBC fighters.

          When was the last time Bradley fought? It's not PBC fighters. ALL AMERICAN FIGHTERS ARE INACTIVE!!!!! The faster boxing fans stop framing this as PBC vs TR and GBP and Main Events the sooner people will realize the sport needs some shake up. Crawford and Lomachenko were only getting two fights last year if Canelo didn't break his hand. And one of Crawford's fights had to be on PPV which is crazy. Have you seen HBO's first half schedule?

            Pacquiao's as big of a cheque as any and let's be real, Arum is probably close to death soon anyway. I don't expect the same issues with him gone.

              It's actually smart of Spence. Pac is retiring soon. Bradley may retire soon (doesn't seem like he's eager to fight unless the $$$ is right).

              Spence can fight Vargas, maybe Bradley, and Crawford eventually.

              Either way, I hope Haymon and Top Rank are open to working together in the future.
              He doesn't have a belt. He's fighting for a belt this year, either vs Brook or someone else. That's why Haymon fighters don't fight him. Thurman/Garcia winner would unify with Spence if he had a belt.

              Yes Tim got paid 3 times vs Pac and JMM. Those guys are gone now and won't even entertain a Spence fight.

              Too many options at PBC vs TR.

                No PBC fighter has ducked Spence.

                  He should be more active. Most these PBC fighters should be, but someone as young and upcoming as Spence especially.

                    Was just saying Tim made lots of $$$ so he's taking an extended holiday.

                    Maybe Spence thinks he can can make good money with Top Rank. Simply that.

                    It'd be a shame though, if we don't see joint promotions from rival promoters Haymon/GB/Top Rank etc...

                      Well Spence doesn't actually have a promoter so he could do this if he wanted to.
