Comments Thread For: Spence-Crawford is Tough To Make, But Needed For Boxing in 2021

[Eff Pandas]

Errol needs to beat Danny before he's even thinking about fighting Bud. Who knows if Errol is still the same Errol. Bud is clearly doing his thing, but if Errol ain't the same guy post-crash there are gonna be other fights folks wanna see. Bud vs Danny might be the fight.

[sicko]

HATE that this fight took this turn...

New pod! @ErrolSpenceJr says he wants @terencecrawford, and is down to have Al Haymon talk with Top Rank, but doesn’t want Crawford’s trainer/manager BoMac involved in the negotiations

Fighters need to agree to keep all negotiations PRIVATE! Discuss this sh^t behind the scenes. Fans and Media RUIN fights negotiations with their Fanboy BS, Instigating and accusing everybody of Ducking

Errol is calling for 60/40, I think this fight should be 50/50 on the money, neither of these guys are established PPV stars they both about the same.

You can't give one sound reason why someone who bombed in their only PPV, and has their own Promoter saying they are losing money his last 3 fights, deserves 50/50 with a guy that has 2 PPV fights at 350K, and has no problem bringing in large crowds to arenas.

It's a 50/50 fight in the ring, it's not 50/50 on their proven earning value.

Arum is Sabotaging Bud Negotiations On Purpose IMO because he knows he won't be apart of it, this is Pathetic!

My sound reason is I want the fight to happen lol.

Seriously I think they need each other, that its the matchup that will bring the numbers, they will make more together than they will with somebody else, so in that I say 50/50 is fair to both guys.

Just wait until the numbers for the Garcia fight come in. Then we will see what percentage split will be mentioned

Either way, Crawford should just ditch Top Rank and get the fight on his own. It shouldn't take much for him to buy out his contract

Let Spence get through Garcia first. Spence deserves huge credit for not fighting Josesito Lopez. I still have some weird feeling that the fight is going to be delayed.

We don't know if it's 50/50 in the ring. That's the problem.

We THINK it is. I'd rather KNOW that it is.

Which requires Crawford fight Keef, Porter or Ugas so we can test him.

Otherwise it'll be MayPac all over again.

What did Arum say that was wrong?

Arum is old school. Used to never be a problem outing fighters that got a big head. This modern boxing era is too damn sawft.

Crawford chose to re-sign. Crawford chose to listen to Uncle Tom Bradley. He full knows what Floyd went through yet ignored the truth. He's got nobody to blame but himself.
