Comments Thread For: Thurman: I Want Spence Late 2020, He Needs To Get More Popular

[Kirk087]

I wouldn't think past Pacquiao if I were Thurman.
The road to glory that he seems to have planned out might come to a quick halt with Pacquiao.

Thurman is not a mainstream super star.

He does not do national commercials, he has never headlined a PPV before now, and does not appear to have a serious fanbase, he is not even popular in Florida, his fight there did horrible numbers.

Spence is a much bigger star than Thurman is at the moment, the only reason Keith is getting the Manny fight is because team Pac thinks he is shot, and ripe for the taking.

neither one of these are mainstream superstars! Not even close! I know Thurman has never headlined a ppv but he's about to partner up with Manny to do his first just as Spence partnered up with Mikey! Yes Manny is the main guy but who's to say Mikey wasn't the main guy? Spence/Porter will not be on ppv while Mikey/Danny will be televised on ppv! What that should tell you is Spence is not the attraction his fans believe and Mikey was the main reason for the 300,000 buys!

And you act like Terrence Crawford is some mainstream superstar with 50k and 150k ppv buys. lol.

Man he doesn't want to fight Spence period end of story. Keith ain't even ashamed of it either. I hope Pac ends him.

Spence won't even be at WW by the end of 2020 lol

Thurman pissing me off. What happened to that "Don't duck me son" Thurman smh. Spence needs to get more popular now lol. First off Spence is more popular than Thurman at this point without a doubt but Thurman ain't as big as he thinks he is either. I don't think fighters are scared of each other but in this sense I think Keith as some fear cuz all these excuses not working. Saying that Pacquiao might just beat him, like I said before Thurman not all the way back n Manny angles n skill set might just **** Thurman up mentally.

Thurman is right, he needs to step up and face Crawford first.

The winner can fight Thurman if he beats Pacquiao.

He should not be telling a fighter who has been pursuing him for 3 years to chase another Champion. He initially said let him get a belt which he did , now he is saying he is not popular enough. Smh.

There should be a rule in boxing that if you are not prepared to face someone you should be slapped in the face if you advice another fighter to face a fighter your not prepared to face

Hhmmm


Almost the same thing that malignaggi told him

Thurman has just comeback from a career threatening industry after beating the two top guys in the division before hand in Garcia and Porter.

Spence needs to stop fighting lightweights and take on Crawford.

Thurman has said he will fight Spence in late 2020.

Spence says he will take the easy route and not fight Crawford.

He told Crawford get a belt and he will fight him. Crawford got a belt and now he is saying he wants to take the easy route.

[champion4ever]

I am sorry fellas but my man is copping out. He doesn't want that work ever from Spence. He keeps moving the goal post. At first he said he wouldn't be ready to fight Spence until 2019 back in 2017. Now it's 2019 and he's saying he won't be ready to fight Spence until late 2020.
