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

If Garcia and Vargas just got almost $10,000,000 for an AP how the hell can't Crawford/Spence not get 10-14 million from ESPN or Showtime?

Split it up 60/40 winner Or even 55/45. Heck go to a purse bid,

ESPN or Showtime has the more $$$$ they win.

That's the truth. Somebody is steering them wrong if they do actually think they are the new May-Pac draw.

I actually feel like Andre Berto is still more famous than Spence and Crawford lol.

Fury/Wilder just made what like more than $25 million a piece? And did like 600-900K buys.

You can't tell me 20 million for Spence/Crawford wouldn't make money?? That's at least 300K buys IMO

The constant onslaught of excuses from Spence are never ending.

Spence biggest payday was Garcia, he made 3 million + 5 million PPV split....8 million front and back-end combined

Wilder - Fury 2 was bigger fight that will Spence - Crawford ever be.

Outside USA, only boxing hardcores know these 2.

Typical Arum move - trying to low ball Spence into some crappy joint event knowing that Spence will not accept. Crawford should have just signed with Haymon when he had the chance. Crawford has one of the weakest resumes in boxing.

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

Hell, yes, they will. Stop watching CNN and MSNBC, you Mangina. Have you been a store lately? Everything is flying off the shelf. People are dying to spend some bread.

The fans actually waited and waited for a Pacquiao and Mayweather showdown, and that fight turned out to be horrible. They both made a great amount of money but I honestly think the fight went passed it's shelf life. We all know Spence and Crawford are not going to make no where near what Mayweather has in this sport. Why not give the fans the best of them, while their both still in there primes. I honestly think Bud want this fight more than Spence. I honestly think Spence knows Crawford will make this a dog fight in his favor.

The fight will only take longer now to happen with COVID-19 and all the recovery measures to get the sport back to normal, especially with live gates. I just think both Bud & Spence need to beat a few other fighters in the division so their fight is as big as possible. Of course there is no guarantee either will win all of those fights but would set the stage for possibly one of the biggest fights in boxing history. I think Bud should fight Porter and/or Danny and/or Manny and/or Thurman and Spence should fight Garcia and/or Manny and/or Thurman to leave 2 men left standing in the division for a fight as big or bigger than Leonard/Hearns in this era.
