Bruh its pretty much already been established that Thurman/Pac is happening in July and Spence/Porter in August/September. Only waiting for the official announcement now.
How does Spence taking an L benefit anyone? Bruh what are you smoking?
The only thing that benefits everyone is for Spence to unify the pbc side and then fight Crawford just like he said was the plan.
There are two reasons why the Crawford vs Spence fight is not happening.
1) There are big inhouse fights/Unifications that still need to be made on the PBC side. Haymon won't throw Bob a bone until he has milked those unifcations (Porter/Spence/Pacman/Thurman).
2) The Crawford vs Spence fight is not big enough yet for a crossover event. Arum/ESPN won't let their golden goose fight on showtime/fox, and haymon/showtime/fox won't let Spence fight on ESPN.
Therefore the only way for the fight to happen is for the fight to be big enough (financially of course) that ESPN/Showtime are willing to share the spoils. That requires that Spence continue to build his brand by beating top class fighters and collecting the belts and for Crawford to keep playing the boogieman role and convincing the viewers that Spence is scared of him.
There was a time no one could mention Canelo without GGG's name being connected to him, and there was a time no one could mention Mayweather's name without Pacquiao popping up.
If Spence becomes more famous and popular by unifying belts and being in big fights, then Crawford is wise to keep calling him out and making Spence appear to be scared of him, in other words, connecting his name to that of Errol Spence.
Therefore the more Spence becomes popular and famous, the more Crawford becomes popular and famous.
That is the path to making this fight.
Bob knows it, Spence knows it, Crawford knows it, and Haymon knows it.
