Comments Thread For: Spence's Next Fight Could Air on FOX From Dallas in September

[bigdunny1]

you dumbass the showtime fight was on a saturday holiday weekend..... It was on 2pm on the west and 5 pm on the east on a saturday.... Majority of people are not home that early on saturdays..... His fight before that did 6 million.... You could never even dream of doing those numbers.... Canelos 3 fights on free hbo didnt even add up to 6million for spence vs bundu... Instead of bashing spence for not fighting in texas before be happy that he is now..... He is fighting in dallas on primetime fox.... Your hero oscar could never do that for spence... Never!

Shut the phuk up JASON SHAW you clown Brook fought GGG at the exact same time of day and drew 843K live viewers and over 500K later at midnight when they replayed the fight. So more then double chose to stay up late and watch a replay of a fight they already knew the results then watch Spence live against that same opponent. BS excuses for Spence fight flopping on Showtime. And memorial day was on monday most celebrated on Sunday or Monday not Saturday no matter how many times you create a new alt JASON SHAW it's only a matter of time till you get banned again.

Dallas isn't like Omaha or Toledo. Those places don't have professional sports teams. He's only headlined one card, Bundu. And the big ticket seller for that card was the female fighter on the card, Heather Hardy. Now he's in position to headline a fight in his hometown, his buzz is big enough.

What does other professional teams have to do with boxing? So putting Spence in Canada, NY, and other cities with professional sports teams is better then putting him in his OWN city to build his fanbase? Newsflasher NYers are never going to embrace him nor is canadians. But folks from Texas and specifically Dallas will if you give them a reason to. If Broner can fight half his career in Cincinatti especially as a young prospect making his way up there is no reason Spence couldn't do the same. Spence has actually fought in Sunrise, Florida more then he has fought in Dallas, Texas. lol

What fighters are big in their hometowns and fight there a lot and sell a lot of tickets? There's a reason Robert Easter Jr and Terence Crawford sell more tickets in their hometown than Adrien Broner sells in his. And Broner is a decent draw in his hometown

Oh yea I should also mention the tickets for all three are priced similar. And comparing Cincy to Dallas in terms of boxing towns shows your ignorance.

Bunch of nonsense in these comments. Although I would want him to fight a top 10 WW next, I won't complain. He's running it back 3-4 months later instead of 9-10 months and wants to fight more frequently than most titleholders. It will probably be against Collazo, which is fine, I guess. Either way, it's free, it's not too far away and it will be in a location where I can attend the event. It's all good.

People crying about him not drawing big numbers for Showtime or not fighting in Texas. Who cares? He will soon be able to pack Dallas if he continues to fight relevant opponents and fights frequently. People want fighters to be big names before they have the opportunity to do so. Who cares? If you like him, watch him. If you don't, don't watch him. He's not complaining about his pay or exposure. Let the guy become a star.

The holiday weekend excuse again? You idiot. That would've been more of an excuse to watch the fight. Where are the stats that people weren't home? Post some.

Sure Spence did 6 million, but that was coming off of piggy packing of Team USA's basketball gold medal win. Put him in any other time, he won't draw, as was evidence last week.

btw, Canelo does 18 million in his home country, can draw 50k, and sells PPVs. You mean to tell me if Canelo and Spence were put on separate cards/channels on the same day, Spence would out draw him? You're an idiot.

Isn't Ponomarev the mandatory? That would make sense for a home defense

I actually truly believe that there's a better than decent chance that Team Danny and Team Pacquiao come to terms.

Freddie Roach has been drooling about a potential Danny Garcia/Manny Pacquiao match up on Youtube for a while now. It's a good match up style wise for Manny, provided he can avoid that left hook bomb. And conversely for Danny -- who would you rather fight? A near 40 year old Pacquiao, who will give you your biggest payday of your career -- or would you rather get steamrolled by Spence in front of Errol's hometown? And for considerably less money to boot?

And also, Danny has been on the record saying that he thinks the Pacquiao fight will happen. It's on Youtube. And that was pretty recent when he said that, too.

Danny is another easy fight for Paq or Spence. Danny is quite limited talent wise but has been managed and matched quite well his whole career. Paq will pick slow danny apart which Manny likes. Danny cannot hurt Paq and Paq knows this. Boxing is all about cash anyway. Spence and manny never will meet. Nor will Thurman and Paq ever fight. Angel has matched Danny very well his whole career.

Spence drew what 500 fans in a airport bunker in the Bundu fight? lol You don't think he can draw more fans then that if they have him fighting consistently in Dallas? Spence would kill for Broner's attendance and draw figures in Cinci. Broner drew more viewers to watch him on Showtime against granados then Spence did to watch him fight Brook and Brook is a much bigger name then granados.

So Sunrise, Florida is a better boxing town then Dallas and that's why he's fought there more then Dallas? There is no venue in or around Dallas one of the biggest markets in the entire country so Spence has to fight in florida, NY and Canada instead? child please. PBC dropped the ball simple as that.

He has no mando at this moment so anyone inside the top 15 will do. None of those names look attractive tho.
