Comments Thread For: Crawford Trainer Insists: There is Nobody Else, We Want Spence!

[BLASTER1]

I agree, belts don't mean a damn thing! However, money means a lot! This fight has to be HUGE for both PBC and ESPN to make money, and that's the problem! It's just not there yet!

I work on a military base, and most guys like combat sports, and still, not too many know Terence Crawford and Errol Spence! I would say over half the base wouldn't spend $100 to see them fight, but they did pay to watch May vs. Pac, and May vs. McGregor! Now if Crawford had beaten Pacquiao while he was still with TR, I think he would've been a bigger star! No offense to Spence, but I think Pacquiao vs. Thurman might do better than Spence vs. Garcia! That being said, if Pacquiao beats Thurman, and Spence beats Porter, you know what happens next! No way does Spence choose Crawford over Pacquiao! That would be totally ******!

I think Bob has to get DSG for Crawford! Maybe even Munguia @ 154! We need Crawford to get some shine, while Spence gets those straps! The hardcore like us, know that Spence vs. Crawford is the best fight out there, but for the casuals, it's still all about Pacquiao and Canelo!

Very nice post.
All points I agree with especially Crawford/DSG and hadn't really thought about 154 for Bud but seeing him against Khan he looked bigger than Khan so maybe he could make 154 and if he fought Munguia I think Bud would outbox and beat him.
I don't see Spence unifying until he has gone thru his stable so that should be what another 2-3 fights so we probably won't see Bud/Spence to maybe early 2021 imo.

I do too! It would be a high profile fight, and Bud could force the issue b/c he's the WBO WW Champ, which means if he wants Munguia, the WBO SWW Champ, he could make it happen! Floyd beat Oscar and Cotto @ 154, and I think those 2 are way better than Munguia! Plus it would probably go to purse bid, and I am sure Top Rank/ESPN would win the bid!

This fight isn't on the horizon though..

Literally, theres no one else Arum can find, that will give this guy a legacy/P4P fight. His last legacy fight was 5 years ago, his coming out party against Gamboa...

Ever since then has been a parade of C-level opposition, and a free ride to the top of the P4P lists. It's not Crawford's fault, Arum cant negotiate with Haymon.

Well if Bob doesn't actually call Al and genuinely try to make the fight as he said he would, boxing writers, fans, etc should make a point of that and try and put pressure on whoever is to blame for the fight not happening. Obviously it takes two to tango and both promoters have to compromise by not making money off both fighters and not necessarily having all the concessions but whoever stops this fight from happening, be it Al, Bob, Spence or Crawford's teams, they need to be exposed.

[theface07]

Spence is going to fight Porter most likely. Crawford and Arum need to put their money and push for a fight with Danny Garcia, he is the best available option, if Pacquiao vs. Thurman is happening.

That's not a bad idea actually. Haymon doesn't want to risk having his #1 welterweight lose to a non-PBC boxer. Garcia, even though he is a top contender, shouldn't be quite as protected as Spence.

[theface07]

Don't you guys understand that Spence does not need Crawford. He has other top guys who are proven at WW to fight, not saying Crawford is not a great fight. Bob talks all that racist ****, now go find Crawford in your won stable like you have been doing for years.

What racist ****?

[theface07]

big facts indeed

What facts? Most of that post was pure speculation and opinion.
You must be a big fan of the Trump era of "alternative facts".

If Crawford beats Spence the PBC loses the WW strangle hold and the PBC craters.

Spence is the key stone to the PBC.

How many times are you going to make the same post??

[theface07]

If Crawford beats Spence the PBC loses the WW strangle hold. Haymon is not having it.

Again! Dude, you are a broken record!!

[theface07]

great post!!

I've been saying the same thing,bobby is ruining his career.

And now Bobby has the perfect builtin excuse not to fight spence -- he will demand a 50-50 split, and when Hayman turns him down, he will accuse spence of ducking crawfish.

At one time crawfish was more popular than spence, but now crawfish is losing popularity (by fighting bums) while spence is becoming the face of boxing. A fight with manny would be huge.

Jerry Jones would host it at cowboy stadium. Showcase some popular mexican fighters on the undercard and it would be epic.

Yeah p4p #1 or 2 on virtually everyone's list, making millions, undefeated, Bud's really suffering.
Crawford is losing popularity? You're delusional. Maybe with yourself but not with the general boxing population.
