    When Crawford talks about having accomplished more with his career, he’s obviously referring to winning world titles in three divisions.

    That’s certainly a respectable achievement, which Spence hasn’t matched. But when you look at who Crawford beat to pick up those victories, that’s where the problem starts.

    although I think spence deserved a 60/40 , 55/45 type split they should just concede and make it at 50/50 . This fight needs to happen iam sick of hearing about splits from both sides.

      If the $$$$ is close, WGAF ?

      Being an A Side isn't what it used to be.

      May took all the life out of it when he retired.

          Would Arum concede to doing 50/50 if his fighter was so clearly in the driver's seat in terms of belts held and PPVs sold?

          No.

          So I don't see why Spence should concede now that the shoe is on the other foot.

            Neither guy is the a side here. Every fight doesn’t have one.

              Spence has more belts. Spence's PPVs have sold decently.

              Crawford's PPV with Amir Khan flopped.

              There is a clear A-side here.

                Spence barely beat Porter. Crawford beat nobody.

                It should be 50 -50, nobody is A side here.

                  No there isn’t. They are at the same level.

                    No they're not.

                    One has more belts and a significantly better PPV track record.
