Terence Crawford refuses to be B side vs Errol Spence

[F l i c k e r]

He'll have no choice.

He's fighting nobodies, not even making himself a big draw.

Spence is capturing the belts and fighting the top 5 in the Welterweight division.

When they come to meet. Crawford will have 1 belt, with a bunch of unknown cans on his resume at 147. While Spence will have 3 belts, having fought Porter, Brook, Garcia D, Garcia M, and Pacquiao.

People say a lot about Spence but reality is, he's lining up the Crawford fight to be the A-side in that fight. Like it or not. He's unifying the division, fighting all the best boxers in the division. Before fighting Crawford. Spence has stated it twice, that I know for sure of. Yet people are still blind, deaf, and dumb to it.

Crawford will have no choice but to take B-side for his bulls.hittery in the 147 division, waiting and hoping for the Spence fight to happen sooner than later.

THAT'S when we will see how "badly" Crawford actually wants to fight Spence. He's talking all this stuff right now but when they line up to fight and all Crawford has is tomato cans as argument for equal or more money. He won't want to fight anymore. Watch.

Most people agree they are equivalents though. You can keep on citing draws and ppv, but neither guy is this big star you want one of them to be.

Spence is a bigger name than crawford, that is undeniable. He does higher gates and has done two PPV's that have sold substantially more than Crawford's.

They are not equivalents. You're just denying the truth by saying so

Being the A-side has NOTHING to do with your spot on the p4p list, how many belts you have, or your career accomplishments. Being the A-side is about who the fans, casual or not, will pay to see. You can be the worst fighter in the world, if you have a fan base that wants to see you over the next guy, you're the A-side.

If Floyd Mayweather came out of retirement and challenged either Crawford or Spence, he would be the A-side because he's bringing the money in. Has nothing to do with who people believe would win the fight. If Pacquiao decided to fight one of the two, he's the A-side for the same reason.

Errol Spence is the A-side because his numbers dictate he his. His PPVs were much more successful than Crawford's. Crawford is trying to argue his case with accomplishments, because he knows he can't argue it with numbers.

Crawford is relatively unknown and he can’t sell a fight.

[ShoulderRoll]

You are trying to justify one being a star when they both have less than three ppv, combined. Might as well say Antonio Margarito is a bigger star than both.

The purse has to be split based on proven drawing ability.

Spence has that over Crawford. Without question.

The purse has to be split based on proven drawing ability.

Spence has that over Crawford. Without question.

And neither have proven anything at this point with 3 ppvs combined.

Whether you think Bud deserves the A Side , It doesn’t matter Crawford is the B-Side

His PPvs do Misely / Mayorga 2 #s / Bud also has less straps and has fought inferior opponents at WW

[soul_survivor]

Nope. Check their tv ratings and PPV sales.

One is the clear B-side to the other.

so one is B and the other is B-? Let's be honest, both guys are time wasters, closer to 30 than 25 and have wasted their peaks by not fighting the biggest names and becoming stars. By their ages Pac, May, Cotto, Mosley, Oscar had all become top boxing stars and fought other top names.

These guys are a waste of time. They should fight in a car park for a $100.

No one is claiming that Errol Spence has reached Floyd or Pacquiao levels.

But between him and Crawford he is the clear A-side.

Crawford sounds spoiled saying this. He's used to the easy paydays.
