Comments Thread For: Spence: Crawford Fight Will Happen When Arum, Haymon Make Sure Money's Right

[archiemoore1]

Letting fights marinate too long isn't cool. A boxer has only so many good years.

Too bad Crawford is not facing Manny, because if he did, it would end up like Pac/Bradley 3 - and everyone would be upset that Crawford took an L against an old senator before realizing his "greatness".

Well, Manny is going to fight Brandon Rios or some guy coming off a loss.
That’s his style. Fighting guys coming off losses (Clottey, Broner, Mosley, Rios, Margarito, Cotto, Oscar etc)

It’s his style to “greatness”

Yes, sure Errol.
When pigs fly, or Terence is in a wheelchair.

One of the two.

You already missed the big money. There will not be pay days on the old level for long after Spence is retired. That’s why you don’t let the fight marinate.

Pac doesn't decide to fight Crawford. Crawford decides who he will (and won't) fight.

Crawford not three weeks ago said he didn't want to fight Manny because he's old and he didn't want excuses.

Bob Arum is feeding you guys BS and you're buying into the BS.

Thurman only happened because it was Haymon. Broner only happened because it was Haymon.

Are you sure about that ?, No Excuse's ?, thought he said that about Errol ?

Delusional. The problem here is that Spence and Crawford is not even a big mainstream fight. It is a great fight among we hardcore boxing fans, that's about it. Both has zero personality to sell a fight and neither is marketable. Wilder/Fury with all their personalities, promotions, exposure from the first fight and two networks only did 800K. I ll be surprised if these two do 500K combined. Just do the fight already and allow yourself the opportunity to make more money in a rematch or maybe even a trilogy.
