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

[j.razor]

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

That wasn't a compliment. You trying to throw shade at that man. The opponents fight who they want to fight, the promoter works FOR the fighter so if that fighter wants to fight the best that fighter should TELL his promoter who he is going to fight but for some reason people want to give up power to the promoter, F that.

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.

You dudes just can't get over the promoter hump huh....LOL

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.

Promoters like bob have connections to build a fighter or even tear down a fighter through media outlets but the truth is they have been hurting boxing competition forever. Very few fighters over come the b.s. in boxing. Floyd is the ONLY boxer that beat boxing cuz he did it his way & not bob's way cuz if he did it bob's way he would of ended up like Manny with less.

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 ?

If he could be earning more he would be told to so the one telling him can earn more also. So he is happy where he is & a promoter won't make it better.

Why are so many (very new looking) profiles mad that the guy wants to be his own man? I swear some hate to see a black man control his own destiny without paying a tax to some "fairer-skinned" mutha***a. He's doing well for himself, can never be benched like Arum did Mickey, and doesn't have to give away a cut to someone who doesn't really add to his pockets either.

Btw promoter are the reason that the big fights don't happen. Look what promoter eddie hearn is doing right now

TELL'EM!

Not everybody is super duper talented like Spence is and last I checked, Spence isn't fighting on PPV, nor has he fought any big names yet besides an old Peterson. No, I don't count Brook. Outside of Boxing fans, nobody really knows him.

He's 28 and got 5 good years left before he declines. He's fighting two scrubs a year and if he starts stepping it up he'll be fighting once a year. Basically, 5-10 fights left before he's on the decline and if he does 10, no way those are threats. 5 scrubs and 5 names.

Yea, doing great dude. But really, Spence needs a promoter.

No he don't. He doing better without one.

[Chuckguy]

Why should he if he can continue to fight cans and no hopers for millions. He is taking the GGG route

[j.razor]

There's plenty of fighters who have promoters who aren't that big and can't sell. Only Canelo and AJ sell tickets and PPVs, nobody else comes close. GGG is well known yet if he's fighting under his promoter, he isn't getting 5 million purses and isn't selling 300k PPVs. GGG got paid thanks to GB and Hearn. Look at Jacobs, he was doing better without Hearn. Linares which everyone considered an elite fighter has been with GB for years, yet he isn't known and can't even sell 3k tickets. Fighters like Loma, Crawford, Kovalev, aren't world wide superstars, they're doing the same numbers that fighters with no promoters are doing. Kovalev can barely get paid and sell 5k tickets on his own. Most of these top Haymon advised fighters are doing well on their own, co promoting with their promotional companies and pretty much getting the same attention as other fighters with promoters.

Tell'em!

[j.razor]

Yeah, you still need a promoter until you start fighting real threats and getting a fan base. Errol isn't there yet.

What? lol....What??

If he could be earning more he would be told to so the one telling him can earn more also. So he is happy where he is & a promoter won't make it better.

I’m not sure what your getting at chief

Some of you guys will litterally try and start s**t on every thread ha

Spence is happy that the main thing
