    But between him and Crawford he is the clear A-side.
    Clear? Define and explain why?

    And my point is, A side to what? Who cares, both these gangster wanabes need to get in the ring or stfu.

      I've already explained it. Spence gets superior numbers on tv ratings and on PPVs.

      A-side to what? A-side in relation to Terence Crawford in a fight between the two of them.

        Is he suppose to be a submissive little b#tch like a lot of guys on this forum to worship other Men and hold them up as unbeatable Boxing Gods or somethings? NO! He is speaking from a Boxers Prospecting not some Internet Fan! He shouldn't bow down to Spence Jr and just accept B Side especially with him being more ACCOMPLISHED than Spence Jr as far as unifying at 140 (regardless of the competition) as well as being considered Top 3 P4P

        I'm a long time fan of both and I don't see fear from either side of each other. I do think they have a ton of respect for each other as fighters and I'm sure they have had private conversations discussing the fight and discussing the politics behind it. The fight will happen eventually!

        Right Now I don't think any Big Fights will be made for awhile after this Pandemic because the money in it will be so uncertain as Arum is already talking about fighters having to take Less

            I dont think there is A side, they both pretty much about the same, these guys have not established dominance in the market place, in the big picture this fight would be their breakout into the big time.

            Make it either 50/50 across the board , or 60/ 40 Winner loser.

            As soon as one wants more than the other going into a big fight the BS starts, you want more you must win to get more, if you lose you get the lower rate, this would cut all the crying out about A-B side.

              Everybody needs to read your post and look at the numbers.

              They say it all.

                  Wow. 4 ppvs for two guys in their 30s says exactly what I said. They are not a side fighters.

                    But who cares? Neither guy is a star. Money, PPV percentages etc etc shouldnt even be part of the negotiations. Both these fools should fight or shut up. Thats my take on it. You dont have to agree.

                      If the numbers were reversed and in favor of Bob Arum's fighter do you think he would give the other guy a 50/50 split?

                      Of course not.

                      That's why this matters.
