Bob Arum negotiating Crawford-Spence

[FinitoxDinamita]

45-45 and 10% goes to the winner. Bob talking things out with Haymon for a fight next year.

This is the only matchup that is close to PPV worthy at 147!

[Mister Wolf]

We will see if Spence gets humbled by the low PPV for the Porter fight. People want in both ways. With the Garcia PPV they want to credit Spence for the sales(bull****) but when this next PPV does bad "awww it Porter's fault."

[HanzGruber]

That 10% to the winner crap will never work especially for big fights. Leaves too much incentive for someone to want a robbery. Spence is gonna get a bigger split it Crawford will enjoy fighting bums on espn

Glad they are negotiating but I don't see how this would work given Spence has a much higher PPV sales rate. The sales from Spence/Porter will tell us how big Spence is right now.

To be fair with Spence, his fight with Garcia fared better in numbers compared to Crawford-Benavidez.

Crawford is just not that PPV material.

[KTFOKING]

LOL at the 45/45 split with 10% to the winner. Please tell me the last fight that had that type of split.

Spence just has to do better than 150k buys here to show he is the clear A-side over Crawford. A lot of pressure!!!!

Doubt it happens; Haymon has too many options for Spence in-house, while Bob is desperate for opponents for Crawford.

That percentage-to-the-winner bull**** is a fantasy, no way it gets done without 60-40 in Spence's favor or better.

*Crawford vs Khan

Arum has officially smartened up and decided that Crawford will no longer be fighting on PPV against anyone but Spence. Enough is enough.

Unless you are doing at least 250k buys, it is not worth putting your fighter on PPV....Unless their guarantees are fairly low.

[Jim Tom]

It's a good fight for boxing fans but it won't be a big hit at the box office. These guys are not cross over stars yet. They need to get involved in stuff that will make them noticeable like dancing with the stars or love island or some sh.itty thing like that.
