This is how you guarantee the Bud v. Spence fight.

I don't know if you're trolling or if you're just lonely and want someone to talk to but I'm done with the conversation because everybody else in the thread understands what I'm saying except you.

I understand what you're saying, I'm just pointing out that it would never happen the way you're suggesting it. Crawford would have to fight a WBC champ.

Why would Crawford have to fight a WBC champ?

If you go the mandatory route you get the mandatory split, why would that not happen or why would Bud want that?

Sulaiman: Spence-Porter Winner Will Have Pending Mandatories

This could be Bud if Arum is serious

That's not for Bud. That's for the IBF mandatory challenger whose name I can't spell. The guy's been waiting for his shot for several months already. If the IBF would follow their rules, that man would be the first in line for a shot and not put him into sidelines like what they did to Ugas before.

There's more upside in fighting Kavasjifsf$gk?

He at least owns the rights to that dude.

He at least owns the rights to that dude.

So it's a business move.

A lot of Bud's business moves are being excused while Spence business moves are being criticized. Even though Spence business moves are leading to tougher fights.

Arum petitions the WBC to make Crawford vs. Ugas the eliminator and chance to become mandatory for the winner of Spence vs. Porter. The WBC has shown their willingness to have champs of other sanctioning orgs fight in their eliminators & for vacant belts. Kovalev vs. Pascal. Lomachenko vs. Campbell. And GGG vs. Rubio are 3 recent examples.

Fighting an eliminator gives a solid timeline for the fight. As long as he fights the eliminator he doesn't have to wait around 600 days. And as long as he doesn't take step aside money (GGG & Eldier Alvarez) That's how you guarantee the fight happens.

Dumb post. Haymon doesn’t want to make Spence vs Crawford now and maybe never.

Wbc can order Crawford Vs ugas then Haymon has Ugas withdraw from that fight and have Ugas take the IBF route and leave Crawford empty handed.

If Haymon wants to make Spence vs Crawford he doesn’t need to sacrifice Ugas. Makes zero sense.

What's the WBC mandatory split?

What's the WBC mandatory split?

70/30 Champ / Challenger

Why would Crawford have to fight a WBC champ?

In every example you listed, the champion of the other organization beat the WBC interim or diamond champion before being allowed to fight for the full WBC world title. They didn't just fight a contender to become a traditional mandatory with a 70/30 split. They went after a guy already holding a WBC interim or diamond title to try to force a unification.
