Derrick James is Terrified of Bud Crawford.

The noise out of Spence camp aren't great. They don't want it as much as Crawford, imo

Just looking at the videos and all they interact with each other you can tell they're not cut from the same cloth.

Spence kind of reminds me of the jock star type while Crawford the don't *** with OG

With Crawford refusing to fight the best available opponents, Haymon and Arum barely cooperating

and Manny refusing to be a stepping stone for avg. Pay. This fight will never be as big as they want it to be.

Greedy, ducking cowards.

I hate that these Crawford and Spences team is going about this the same way that Pac and Floyd did.

Pac and Floyd marinating was annoying but still understandable. Both fighters were making over 20 mil fighting anyone that was recognizable.

These two are not yet at the level because they never went through the names that both Floyd and Pac did before doing this BS.

Both fighters can at least fight recognizable names if they want that big showdown.

PAC at this time is in the same position as Oscar was. He has the name and still looks good enough to propel either Spence or Crawford. They will need to overpay just the same way how Floyd and Manny did at the time they wanted to reach that crazy money levels.

Facts...... But Top Rank already refused to pay him so that leaves
Al "Dollar Bill" Haymon to pay the legend

Who has Crawford fought?.... a bunch of no bodies and has beens . Now that he’s 32 and fading fast he’s calling out a guy coming off a car crash and more and more it’s starting to sound like a cash out fight....he had an opportunity to sign with someone else or do his own thing and he would’ve got the fights if he wanted them but he ran back to scumbag bob to fight more nobodies and has beens. You want to blame somebody blame yourself and your promoter.

That really shows the lack of confidence both promoters have in Crawford and Spence. I think both will beat PAC but they might not be as confident that either will go on a long run after they beat PAC.

Both PAC and Floyd took full advantage of big paydays after beating Oscar. Plus both went thru wars to get the Oscar fight.

How do you build the biggest fight in the division that doesn't involve Manny? As a matter of fact only TWO fights in the division would be bigger Manny/Spence or Manny/Crawford. Spence's accident almost meant the fight would NEVER happen.

Lastly when has "marinating" a fight beyond the fighter prime has worked? Floyd/Pacman was the exception not the rule and should not be looked at as the business model.

Am not agreeing with it. Just that I prefer this excuse. Nothing you or I say would change what they would do.
