Comments Thread For: Spence's Trainer: The Money For The Crawford Fight Is Not There Yet

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Derrick James envisions Errol Spence Jr. eventually fighting Terence Crawford. Spence's trainer realizes that is the welterweight championship match most boxing fans want to see above all others. James just doesn't think that a Spence-Crawford fight is big enough yet to satisfy what both of the undefeated champions should earn from it.

The only way that fight gets bigger is if Spence beats Pacquiao before hand, becoming a star. Other than that, that matchup is as big as a fight between those two as it's going to get. What exactly should they earn for it? They'll earn what people are willing to pay.

They want to build it. That’s understandable. I prefer that excuse..

Spence vs. Crawford and Loma vs. Lopez, can not take place without fans in the audience!

No no no, this is NSB. One or other of these guys has to be ducking the other! This can't just be something straightforward like em both wanting to get paid as much as possible for what should be a bona fide superfight.

Only thing is if they both genuinely do want 8 figures we may be waiting a while.

If they both wanna fight each other, they can sort it out very easily....


Somehow it seems more easier to say ones gunna beat the other while doing nothing about it and taking less paid fights.....

So it looks like we are getting a manny pacquiao vs floyd mayweather 2 after all! Too little too late...... zzzZZzzZZZzzZZZz.

Greedy SOB. There’s a pandemic and they think ppl really going to spend $60+ on PPV.

[James Hunt]

Translation: Bud's not old enough YET.
If money's not there today, it will never be. We're going into recession and he knows that.

Can see this playing out like a poor man's Mayweather/Pacquiao.

Both sides are saying all the wrong things. And just like Mayweather waited Pacquiao out it won't be long until Spence is dead at the weight and Crawford's team know this.

Given the wait, their ages, struggles with weight, car crash and constant bickering; I can see it being another let-down for the fans in every sense. What a turn off.
