It's time for Spence to cross the street. Goes on Twitter begging Haymon for a fight

[chrisJS]

Spence spent his 2018 fighting Peterson and Ocampo. What a waste of a year.

He wasted the second half of 2017 too. A highly regarded young fighter in his prime and he's asking for basically any fight via twitter.

I think Crawford picked the right side of the street. More fights, more money, more exposure, ranked top two pound for pound etc; etc;

Do you think Spence will finally cross the street?

Do you think Spence will finally cross the street?

With Richard Schaefer spewing out propaganda to the media today. Saying that nobody wants to see Spence vs Crawford and that everyone wants to see Spence vs Garcia, the chance we will see the proper fight is zero.

Dude will be 29 in the next few months. Talk about a wasted prime.

I guess these guys who hype up pbc are at least excited hes getting paid though.

This is everything wrong with boxing. Spence is a legit talent and sitting around trying to get good fights. This is why boxing isn’t growing in the States and IMO will continue to decline.

“But hes getting paid though. Nobody would do for him what Haymon has. Ask Leo Santa Cruz. He named his kid after Uncle Al”.

I think Crawford picked the right side of the street.

Let's look at your list and see if you're right.

More fights

Well that's definitely not true. Crawford is only fighting twice this year and Spence already fought twice this year and might fight three times.

more money

Well that's definitely not true. Crawford is guaranteed 3 million and Spence is guaranteed 3.5 million. Crawford has little chance of a big PPV fight while Spence will have PPV options for sure.

more exposure

Well that's definitely not true. Spence will be fighting on FOX, which is way bigger exposure than ESPN, and Showtime, which is way bigger exposure than ESPN+.

I’m talking more fights in general as in he fights more which he does. Crawford got injured earlier in the year. He either fights 2 or 3 times (more often 3) a year whereas Spence trends closer to 1 or 2.

Crawford’s reported purses are higher and he fights more so if he fights more he’ll make more.

Up to date Crawford has fought to bigger audiences. When he was at HBO his #s beat Spence’s Sho numbers and now he’s on HBO his ratings are higher to date.

That's simply not true. Crawford is fighting twice this year and fought twice last year. He did fight three times in 2016, but only fought twice in 2015.

Spence has already fought twice this year and may be fighting three times. He only fought once last year, but fought twice in 2016 and four times in 2015.

So by what metric is Crawford fighting more often?

Crawford’s reported purses are higher and he fights more so if he fights more he’ll make more.

I've already proven he doesn't fight more. As for reported purses, they're bogus. Arum is a promoter. Haymon is a manager. Haymon has more more incentive than Arum to help his fighters avoid taxes and sanctioning fees.

Up to date Crawford has fought to bigger audiences.

You're just blatantly posting false information over and over.

Half of Crawford's fights are going to be on ESPN+ with almost nobody watching.

Spence vs Bundu did six million viewers. There's nothing ESPN can do to compete with network TV and Spence will be fighting on FOX soon and his Showtime numbers blow away ESPN+ numbers.
