Comments Thread For: Spence Not Interested In Signing With Arum, De La Hoya or Hearn

[SUBZER0ED]

Good for him. ODLH would turn him into a drug-cheating, prima-donna. Arum would exploit him and probably relegate his non-PPV fights to an app. The jury is still out on whether Hearn would look out for him. But, he definitely needs better opponents than Carlos freaking Ocampo!

Cut out the middleman that tries to avoid certain boxers and takes a cut of your money in the process. He’s very old timey with being one of the best and wanting to fight the best. I love it.

If he’s happy with the money he’s getting and the opponents he’s facing there’s no need to look for a promoter

Not everyone is motivated by fame / money . Good for Spence for being loyal to his guys

Ok Spence, keep relying on Uncle Al. The large majority of people here in the U.S. don't even know who the heck you are and you're pushing 30. You should be a household name.

lol idk why people keep saying that.. who does oscar have besides canelo? bud and loma arent huge names, danny jacobs cant even sell out in his home town

[Jab jab boom]

cool, if you dont want to be a superstar thats fine. some people just dont like the fame or the money. stay with uncle al and fight bums.

pbc fighters for the most part are making more money on a fight by fight basis than top rank and golden boy fighters and they're not losing a % of their purse to promotors. And in this era, what are promotors really doing? Fighters can market themselves via social media and other platforms that guys like arum and Oscar are basically regulated to setting up the events. Plus, other than Thurman, everyone Spence wants to fight is with pbc.

umm.. he just said in the other thread that the crawford fight will happen later on down the road.. for bigger money!

Errol Spence right now has only 308K followers on instagram. In comparison Ryan Garcia who is only 19 already has 968K followers on instagram. And nobody was following him on social media before he signed with Golden Boy. Canelo is younger then Spence and already a huge PPV star. Floyd before going on his own was already built and headlining PPV's because of Top Rank. So there is still a huge benefit of having a promoter at least until you are already a star fighter. For example if he had a promoter he would of long been headlining and fighting in his home town. Instead not having a promoter only 1 of his pro fights before sat were in dallas and only 4 times period in the state of Texas. No consistent promoter meant his fights were literally scattered randomly with no plan to 1 off promoters in different cities. Hard to build a buzz and fanbase that way.

He could possibly be earning more now if he jumped ship though

He’s obviously happy where he’s at so what’s the problem ?
