Comments Thread For: Terence Crawford: Errol Spence Fight Is All About The Money

This guy is an absolute clown I've never known a fighter get so many excuses made for him and why he's fought bum after bum after bum despite being in one of the deepest divisions in boxing. This guy will go his whole career without fighting a single elite fighter, but p4p doe!!!

Crawford you made a bad decision going with Top tank.
Top rank usually offers more up front money however in the long run you would make way more money with Pbc.
Crawford would be Ppv fighter just Like Spence if he signed with PBC.

I'm a TC fan, but sometimes Bud really makes it sound like he's okay with letting his career go down the tubes. It's not his style, bu at 32 yrs old, he should be out every day calling out the elite fighters anywhere near his weight. I believe that he's a generational talent, but it seems like he may never actually prove it in the ring.

Not to harp on again about the golden era, but remember the times when the best fought the best without worrying about an extra million dollars or not. Guys like Leonard and Hearns beat Spence and Crawford comfortably. My point is these fighters are not that great and are likely overestimating their market value.

I don’t think you need big cash for Co-promotion unless the fighter’s are asking for more than they can pull. The issue is obviously not the money here, Crawford is a risk, and Haymon already doesn’t like to risk his fighters, let alone his potential cash-cow. With ESPN and PBC it will boost the sales like it did with Fury vs Wilder and I think this fight can do as much or more to be honest.

I doubt Crawford / Spence does better PPV numbers than Fury / Wilder 2 or even the first fight.
Aside from hardcore boxing fans I don't think there's enough casuals interested in this fight to make it financially successful.

I do find it strange that Crawford's talking about money now.
IMO Arum has Brook in line next. Then the winner or Ramirez / Taylor.

“Sometimes there isn’t enough money to break down for everybody. It takes a lot of money to put on a show. There’s a lot of money that goes into making fights, and a lot of people don’t understand that. It’s not about two people saying ‘we want to fight.’” - Terence Crawford

Seems like Bud is finally getting it!

Crawford is saying the opposite

“If it makes sense, then a fight can get made. There are no hurdles. It’s all about money at the end of the day. If there is enough money on the table, then a fight is going to get made. If there are two promotional companies coming together, we all gotta eat,” said Crawford. “Sometimes there isn’t enough money to break down for everybody. It takes a lot of money to put on a show. There’s a lot of money that goes into making fights, and a lot of people don’t understand that. It’s not about two people saying ‘we want to fight.’”

He knows how much money it takes to make the fight and he's saying the money isn't there yet.
