Comments Thread For: Crawford's Coach: We Want Spence, Biggest Name For Us at 147

[Bronx2245]

doesn’t work that way. So far Spence hasn’t gotten any name he asked fit and porters dad already said it has to be PPV or its not happening.

Works both ways. Spence can pressure Haymon to make a Crawford fight like Jacobs pressured Haymon to make the GGG fight but so far Spence has been saying Crawford can wait and he wants the pbc fighters first. The problem is the PBC fighters don’t want to fight him so he might as well fight Crawford first

Spence wants Porter and Thurman, he's not worried about Crawford. Crawford wants the PBC fighters, without being part of the PBC! That's going to be tough! Bo Mac is "talking" tough, but I think his strategy is wrong! He shouldn't have went with the extension, then try to "apply pressure" on TR! Backwards!

Danny Jacobs never "pressured" Haymon for the GGG fight! Let me refresh your memory:

WBA orders purse bid as Gennady Golovkin-Daniel Jacobs talks drag
December 8, 2016

Since representatives for unified middleweight titleholder Gennady Golovkin and secondary titlist Daniel Jacobs have been unable to make a deal for a mandatory fight for the past three-plus months, the WBA on Wednesday formally ordered a purse bid...

The big hang up in negotiations appears to be the purse split. The Jacobs camp asked the WBA to adjust the split from the usual 75-25 to 60-40 in Golovkin's favor. However, the WBA rejected the request.

Although Loeffler has said many times their side is willing to cut Jacobs in for more than the 25 percent he is entitled to, he would not go as high as 40 percent for Jacobs, who is not the proven draw that Golovkin is.

I'm glad that Crawford's team is finally getting vocal and pressing Top Rank about wanting to fight the other 147 pound champions.

Every press conference these guys hold should have media members asking about Errol Spence.

He just named all PBC/Showtime fighters but chose not to entertain fighting under that banner.....bad move

And what is Spence's response in all this?
