Comments Thread For: Crawford To Spence: Take Your Panties Off And Sign The Contract!

[TJ highway]

Brilliant minds think alike.

[landotter]

And Top Rank/ESPN mention no PBC fighters on their broadcasts, spread your hate equally, thank you

Why so serious??

Back off the defensiveness. No hate here. PBC has done a fantastic job getting fighters in the ring lately, and inactivity has been.my only criticism of them. But facts are facts, and twice on that telecast of Spence/Porter they showed a 147 champion list, and Crawford was left out. And actually, ESPN has absolutely acknowledged the other alphabet champs on First Take, the Boxing Beat, and their telecasts.

Now, they certainly are not dwelling on them and they are pumping up Crawford, but they do 100% recognize other champs.

nope. It's spence who will go down as a coward if he dosen't fight crawford.

I doubt it. Spence has several top 147 fighters to tussle with. So long as he cleans out the PBC stable, he will be remembered as a very good champ. Crawford has to hope one of those guys agrees to fight him.

Sure will be sad if Spence/Crawford does not happen though.

1: There is no way this fight should happen. We need to protect the PBC and Al Haymon at all costs.


2: This fight needs to happen to save Arum and ESPN from that evil Al Haymon and PBC.


3: This fight is the most attractive fight in boxing right now and it should happen for the betterment of the sport.


It is funny that around here, most fools seem to pick #1 or #2 instead of 3. LOL

Bud’s trying to stay relevant since he know uncle bob is protecting him. So he feel free to call out Spence kno the fight won’t happen

i think you are missing the point totally on #1.... if you cant see it then you are probably devoid of logic.....if arum had the pbc roster+crawford and minus spence hed be doing the exact same thing to spence....pbc has good fights inhouse they can make and potentially could get spence another ppv and another unification fight...

no one is trying to "protect" the pbc....its just makes sense for them this way.....they have the potential to increase the exposure/popularity of one of their top guys while potentially stagnating a one of a rivals top assets.....and they can still fight in 2021......no one is protecting the pbc.....simply stating common sense business practices applied by all promoters

I'm sorry. Who's the unified 147 with two belts again?

Because that person doesn't call out the B-side. The B-side calls out the A-side. BUT...they have a boss. Their boss is not going to generate a contract giving up terms to the A-side.

Do you understand what that means, bro?

It means that, as long as the B-side's boss is in the way, there won't be a contract. Especially when the B-side still has to get past the B-level that's been lined up for him AND that B-side has proven a failure on a PPV stage - which PPV would be required to fund such a fight.

That means you need both guys to be PPV, quality fighters who have both beat top guys IN THEIR CURRENT DIVISION.

One of these two guys qualifies. The other does not.

Yes dats the business man!

[Letmaku]

Why not if the price is right Al. Crawford should take less pay 35/65 versus Spence or Pacman in order to make the fight Floyd/Pac!

[Bronx2245]

Errol "Skippy" Spence... It's a family name so I don't hold it against him.

"Egregious" Kavaliauskas! Get used to it!

I'm talking actual Top Rank promoted fight cards, they mention Zero PBC fighters and no commentator will even question Crawford about it in the ring, not on air anyway!
