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

Usually the A-side makes the most money. In this case you have 2 "A-sides" who would have to each take less money, to make it happen. Plus if 2 platforms are involved (FOX & ESPN) then that's even more complicated because there's more hands in the cookie jar! I don't think Wilder vs. Fury II did anything to help the situation!

smh!! how much are they getting now? anywhere from $1-6mil right? TC's highest purse before fighting khan was around $3mil.. it was rumor that he got around $5mil for the khan fight. spence got around $3mil for mikey, which is what TC got before he fought khan. so why are they asking for billions to make the fight? lol. just take $4-5 mil each and sign the damm contract! you're telling me PBC/TR wont be able to pay spence/TC, $4-5mil each?

Crawford vs Spence would do just as well as Wilder vs Fury 2. They promised both Wilder and Fury 25 million guaranteed. but somehow they cant guarantee Crawford and Spence 10 - 20 million? I don't believe that.

spence and TC will not do as much as wilder/fury 2... outside of the boxing forums and the hood, aint nobody really know bout the 2.. fury got a whole country backing him. that's where the numbers came from.

Neither of these clowns are box office draws, neither of them have ever amassed more than 400K PPV buys.

And both of them ducking each other while calling out a 41 year old Pacquiao, lmao.
Prime Pacquiao KO’s both these frauds. Current PAC can still muster a nice UD or SD against each.

Let these clowns fight each other already. They won’t sell more than 500K ppv buys.

No one cared for Fury or knew Wilder until they got that insane promotional push leading into the rematch. Spence has been black jesus for the african americans long before Wilder, and he hasn't even got that ESPN/PBC push yet.

Why is Crawford talking like a promoter? I don't like this passiveness one bit. A fighter's job is put pressure on the other team if he truly wants the fight. Go to the press, shout it out from the hilltop and tell any and everyone who will listen, that such and such person is avoiding you, not freaking making excuses for them.

Fury's country backing him had no bearing on US PPV.

not really... spence has a better backing than crawford tho.. but both of them are not really well known to the public.. and their not really likable for the unknown to make them buy the fight.

like i said, fury had his country backing him, then when more americans found out about fury, the americans started backing fury too..

i dont see the americans backing spence/TC outside of the african american community and even so, i dont think much is going to pay and contribute to it.

live gate tho.... his country travel.
