Comments Thread For: Crawford: I Truly Feel When I Fight Spence, I'm Gonna F--k Him Up!

[EDDIE SPERM]

Absolutely false...when Bud was moving up to WW, he wanted Keith Thurman. When he was asked about Spence, his response was "it's the ones you think are the toughest fights, that aren't."

That's documented. As far as Crawford calling him out, he didn't even start doing that to recently.

I also find it funny how casual boxing fans accuse Errol of ducking Crawford, and then Crawford himself turns around and says he's not ducking, and the money has to be right for everybody.

after Errol's car wreck smh dude is cringe motherfcker

[factsarenice]

man this **** feels like a diet version of pac vs floyd

both sides vehemently claiming they are not ducking and the other side is. both fanbases swearing that its not their guy holding things up. then whatt he **** is stopping this fight then? instead of bantering back and forth lets try to pinpoint the real roadblocks

"Other side of the street, who has he fought, he doesn't have a belt, the fight needs to make sense, too light in the ass, I fought Chris Algieri, I want Garcia, I only want Manny" Crawford never said anything like that...

With the exception of Shaun Porter, the entire PBC are one lame excuse after another.

Lmao why mention The Fighting Collegian & not Kell Brook, Lamont Peterson, Mikey Garcia, ShowTime Shawn?

DUD'S resume is a joke

Odd...Nov 18, 2018 TERENCE CRAWFORD CONFRONTS ERROL SPENCE!!! CALLS HIM OUT FACE TO FACE. Everyone else saw it, you should too. Errol said he wants the easy route. Go watch it and then come back and edit your post before you lose whatever credibility you may have had.

You must have missed it

Sure Spence wants everyone but Terrance Crawford, how convenient. Funny because Crawford is the one guy Errol actually practices and prepares reasons for not fighting. That's right, Errol knows it and so do most of the guys at the PBC, it's common knowledge. Errol literally sits down and practices answers for avoiding Terrance Crawford.

Lmao why no mention of Kell Brook, Lamont Peterson, Mikey Garcia, ShowTime Shawn? DUD'S resume is a joke

Crawford stepped into Robert Garcia to tell him to his face that he'll knock out his brother Mikey Garcia, Fight Hype November 20, 2018. Robert Garcia never mentioned Crawford's name again. Shawn Porter arguably beat Spence in a close fight that many thought Shawn won, Peterson won't fight Crawford and Terrance offered Kell another beating and Kell is still thinking about it......NEXT!

I truly feel this fight might never happen.

Just look at the facts

They can build this fight all they want but at the end of the day I see a boring decision win by either guy. Both fighters are in their 30’s and they’re making comments like “when it feels right, we make the fight” they can’t milk this like Pacquiao-Mayweather.

Spence-Crawford at best sells 600k both guys are boring and they can’t promote like Wilder and Fury just did.

Make the fight and let’s keep the sport moving **** the drama stuff man. They need to fight or get off the spotlight

I truly feel this fight might never happen.

The PBC can't afford to risk Spence getting beat, it's really that simple. Thurman got beat up by Manny and his heart hasn't been in it for years. Manny thought he would get a rematch with Floyd and when that didn't happen he left the PBC.

Haymon has a contract with the networks and he is running out of fighters that can draw. At 147 neither Danny or Shaun (on their own) can draw enough to justify the numbers.

In the end, if Spence gets beat the PBC is in deep trouble. Keep in Mind, Al Haymon never cultivated a fighter, he has no farm team. All of the fighters at the PBC were actually made and elevated by other promoters. Al simply stole them after they became known with the promise of more money and the ability to keep the promoter fees. In essence they are all self promoted and that's the flaw. By in large, none of the PBC fighters make offers because they don't have the cash or the know how. Frankly, Mikey Garcia, Floyd and Manny were the only guys that could do both and all are no longer fighting on PBC cards. Al Haymon simply can't deliver the product to the networks or the money if he keeps losing his biggest pre-made personalities.
Making matters worse, Al can't move the few prospects he has fast enough because he's not a promoter, he's a manager, a manager that has burned a lot of promoters.

The business model is flawed, it only works if Haymon can maintain his near complete control of the market but the market has changed. Counting on PPV's in an age of steaming was the first mistake. Counting on his biggest Heavyweight to KO some out of shape name was mistake #2. Spence's car accident was 3rd strike and in my opinion the start of the PBC's unraveling.

When did Crawford realize that ALL of the top WWs were with PBC? Was that before or after he signed an extension? Why would Crawford sign an extension with Bob Arum after Oscar left, Floyd left, Cotto left, and Mikey left (and eventually Pacquiao too)? Does he know something they don't? They are all way more successful than he is! I like Bud, but he's definitely not the sharpest knife in the drawer!

Top Rank #1, true fighters fight here...PBC= "Protected-Boys-Club" time to wake up and smell the roses!
