    This is ridiculous, the main reason you don't want the fight to happen is because one will lose marketability if they lose? Should we just protect every fighter and expect no one to be challenged? This is literally one of the only fights that could be made that I would pay for. We need big fights , I think the idea of this is just laughable

      "Marinate"? WTF are fighters these days, ribs? A "marinated" fight is about stalling to see if the opponent shows signs of fading & aging in other tough fights- Ala what Oscar & Canelo did before they would make the fight with Golovkin. The most famous "marinate" fail of all of course, is Mayweather vs Pacquiao. Great for them to get ultra rich- shitty for the fans who helped them get rich & were rewarded with a glorified sparring match between two of the oldest stars in the sport.

        Thurman is changed. I fear he may no longer be the young, hungry "One time". He's been injured and has gotten married. He'll be wondering about the elbow and his wife will be telling him to quit boxing and start a family. I think he's working on his exit strategy.

          Crawford and Spence are the best two fighters at welterweight and super lightweight, we all know that. Both are great for the sport. If one of them loses, it will hurt one's marketing ability and thus hurt the sport. They should beat guys like Thurman, Lomachenko, Canelo, etc., clean up around them before they fight. I will enjoy watching them tear down the opposition and boxing will have that Mayweather-Pacquiao excitement again sooner or later. When they finally fight, it will be one of the greatest and most anticipated fights ever.

          If they fight now, then yeah, we will get the best possible fight in boxing at the moment, but we will stand with a long silence after the storm... This is a fight worth marinating.
          If promoters used your method there would be no boxing.

            Mayweather-Pacquiao happened. Canelo-Golovkin happened. Boxing is still there. And we are still here, following the sport.

              Whaaaaat. So everyone else who may or may not not be more marketable are expendable?

                      I think they should fight after Crawford gets a few WW fights into his career,....if he continues to win that is. But that last thing any of us want to see is another Pac/Mayweather Marination scenario, or even worse, what is going on right now with the MW division Stalemate between the top contenders (Jacobs, Andrade, Charlo, Devryanchencko, Murata, etc) "waiting around" on the Canelo/GGG saga to play out and refusing to fight one another in the mean time. That's BS. Say it takes three fights to get Spence /Crawford fight in the works, in the mean time Thurman will drag out two or three rehab fights and then rematches with Garcia and Porter before Spence or Crawford ever get any consideration for a fight. That's two or three years away. No, Spence and Crawford may as well fight each other and line themselves up as a certain mandatory fight for Thurman and maybe hasten the process of fighting Mr "One Time". Just My Opinion
