Comments Thread For: Spence Released From Hospital, Charged With DWI

[Feint First]

Is Spence paying your bills or something dude because you're sounding like a real h0m0 right now going on and on about some ppv numbers..Tell me, exactly how does Spence's PPV buys benefit you? Get Errol jock out your mouth clown. You care more about this A side B side BS than Crawford does... an the only thing I want to see is the best fight the best.

I spit numbers and facts and you come back at me with sexual innuendo??? Real mature. Forgive me for thinking you were intelligent enough to engage in a constructive debate.

Have a good cry when your hero Crawfish is stuck forever fighting cabdrivers on espn+ for the peanuts dementia Bob pays.

Yeah cuz everybody knows only a phag fanboy worries about what a boxer is making on PPV over seeing the best fight the best. Says a lot about the type of man you are. Pathetic.

You don’t know how long after his drinking that they did the the test. He could have sobered up a bit in that time.

Spence walks around at 180 so don’t say he’s way lighter lol.

Two weeks out from fighting at 147lbs (haven't seen fight night weights, but I doubt he was over 160lbs on the night of the fight), I doubt he was anywhere near 180lbs.

But yeah, we don't know when the test was taken, but I'm also pretty sure that they didn't just give him a breathylizer either.

The moment they got to him, and got him to the hospital, you know someone got right on a blood sample from Spence.

nah the insurance tried to kick u out as fast as they can

Spence has likely been a $1m+ fighter since the Algieri fight in 2016, on really good money since at least 2015, and I've yet to hear of a Haymon Sports insurance plan, so he's likely on a private plan.

Beyond that, as a top level pro boxer, I'm pretty certain it's really good private insurance too

Did he buy that Ferrari?

they got the blood a few hours after he stopped drinking.

I’m sure Spence was close to 170 or more for mikey. That’s why he refused to step on the scale for a fight night weigh

Has nothing to do with his purses or insurance plan. Insurance companies want to do as little as possible.

23lbs, in basically 24 hours, of fluids being put back into the system, leaves you a dead fighter in the ring.

Largely on anecdote, but the heuristic seems to be a fighter can add back a stone/~15lbs of water weight following a weigh-in, and still be able to fight a hard 12 round fight.

Anymore than that (usually indicative of a bad camp/late cut) and you tend to see more stamina issues over the back half of the fight than what you would've seen had it been a good camp/good cut.

A top boxer, on top money, is going to get the best insurance money can buy. The most Cadillac of Cadillac plans, lol.

Yeah agree, I would guess Spence and Porter were 160 or just above based upon so many big welterweights in the last 10-15 years having that kind of fight night weight, Spence would look beyond ill at weigh ins and struggle for stamina if draining from 170
