    Will Crawford, Thurman, and Spence be superstars?

    Crawford just signed a multi-year deal and I know Spence is a shoe in to stay with PBC. But seeing that Crawford will probably never fight either Thurman or Spence, will any of these guys reach the Canelo, AJ, Pacquiao, and Mayweather status?

    No.

    They're **** on the mic. They hardly fight. Twice a year is no way near enough. They don't travel outside of Spence doing that once which raised his profile a lot compared to what it was but he hasn't capitalised on that since. They aren't promoted properly either. Why aren't they on the podcast circuit, the radio and TV circuit? Why aren't they hella active on social media? Why aren't they on billboards etc?

    I take it back, Thurman isn't **** on the mic he is decent and should actually be on TV like the MMA guys were at FOX i.e. Michael Bisping/Daniel Cormier.

      Hell no. Mayweather and Pacquiao weren't just boxing or sports stars they were huge celebrities in their own right. And Canelo is younger than Spence, Thurman and Crawford and a bigger star than all 3 put together.

        Probably not at the level of those guys but they can reach a higher ceiling if they keep winning & beating elite fighters. It sometimes just feels like a natural thing to happen where people just get behind a certain fighter while they don’t for others. Andre Ward being a good example of an elite fighter that beat so many top names but he just never caught on with the mainstream.

          Spence has potential. PBC fighters will get promoted on FOX regularly during MLB and NFL games. They'll also have monthly shows doing interviews and behind the scenes. Also Oscar has already expressed interest in having Spence fight Canelo. If he wins that, then he's made it.

              They have done nothing to make that happen, so far. They should be fighting each other and even rematching those fights. Clearly some 0's will have to go but that didn't exactly derail the careers of messrs Hearns, Leonard and Duran.

                  I'm sure theirs enough time, but they all need to be unifying not just fighting mandatories.
                  They all need to be calling each other out and making some noise.
                  Demanding these fights.

                    I think Spence will become a superstar. I think Crawford is a maybe if he avoids Spence. I don't Thurman will ever be a superstar.
