[Bronx2245]

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?

I don't know how much they want, but probably more than they've ever made, and rightly so!

live gate tho.... his country travel.

They don't give much of a **** about live gate. Why do you think Arum was mentioning what they needed from US PPV to break even. Crawford vs Spence does just as well in US PPV and that's what matters most. It also does a huge gate in Vegas.

so like i said around $1-6 mil... why are they asking for more and why are you agreeing with them?

what is crawford's highest ppv fight? against khan? or no? and that fight sold what, 150k? spence against mikey did around 350k or so? so again, going by those numbers, why are they asking for more than what they deserve?

point is that fury had his whole country backing him, then like i posted a few pages back, once the americans knew about fury, they also hopped on the train.... like i said, i dont see much americans showing the same support for spence/crawford outside of the AA community, and even then, i dont even think the AA community is going to contribute much to it.

Crawford vs errol

This will be someday will be the best fight in all boxing history will the best fighter in the world

[megas30]

agreed!! marquez "i beat pacquiao twice" shirt at the press..... that's someone who really wanted the fight.

Exactly. Tarver heckling Roy Jones at every press conference. Or, Briggs heckling Klitschko. Mosley heckling Floyd. The list goes on with people who truly wants to fight somebody. He is one of my fav now, but he's a goofy m'fer for this shjt.

[TexasCowBoy]

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 was turned on to Boxing in the 80's as a young boy.....I know exactly what you mean.....once you have experienced Quality, you can spot mediocrity at all levels.......The All Time Greats... like Hearns, Leonard, Duran, Barkley, and My Fav Hagler ...(you had to hide the women and the children when these dudes fought)......you notice that these men were recognized by just one name.......sort of like Elvis.....why???? Because They Were Bad MoFos

This is a business. That's correct.

But it is the business of extracting money from the public for event tickets and for PPVs.

If we, the public, aren't getting the fights we want then maybe we need to stop supporting the other fights. The ones we don't really want.

What do you think happens to your business then, Crawford?

I appreciate the honesty of Bud. I strongly believe that anyone that signs up for the sport of boxing isn’t afraid of anyone. It’s an inherent risk and danger they all take choosing this specific career. I also believe Haymon & Arum can work together and want this fight to build a little more.

But I said it before on this forum a few times, wins by Bud over the likes of Danny Garcia or Thurman or Porter or a combination of (2) wins in there would definitely help a Spence vs Bud fight financially. OR maybe Spence fighting either Garcia or Thurman or Manny. Both should try to collectively clear out the division except for a remaining fight between themselves for all the marbles.

Remember when Sugar Ray Leonard fought Tommy Hearns. That fight was huge because Leonard had already fought and beat Benitez, then had a grueling loss to Duran, and a rematch win to avenge that loss. Tommy beat Cuevas and grabbed the WBA belt and was undefeated, 32-0, 29 TKO/KO’s. So Sugar Ray and Tommy Hearns were the 2 left standing in the Welterweight division. Spence has already beat Porter. I think it would be great if Spence OR Crawford fights Garcia, Thurman, Manny and they both have a combination of wins against those fighters to be left standing. HUGE PPV!!!

[santz92]

doubt the fight will happen anytime soon, because of the accident Spence was in, but the stock for these to fighters grow everyday. Boxing to fight for the passion or Boxing to fight for the money....they will win both ways.
