Comments Thread For: Crawford on Spence Fight: If It Ain't 60/40 In My Favor Fight Won't Happen

[Combat Talk Radio]

In a month's time all the news on here is going to be about 'over-marinated' - I'm no fan of Danny Garcia at welterweight but I have him over Spence in an upset.

...yeah, this didn't age too well.

They are both making the same demands. The way to resolve this is 40/40 split, winner gets the other 20%.

In all your years of watching boxing, has a big fight EVER been negotiated this way? Why would a fighter ever put in as much work as they do, just to give away their negotiating power this way? There's a reason this has never been done.

Why didn't Bud and Top Rank think this was a good idea when it came to guys like Porter, Garcia, and Thurman? When Terence is the clear B-side, this is a good idea.

It's never been done but it should be. Enough of these clowns jockeying back and forth for the extra 10%. If it's not going to be a 50/50 fight then find another way.

i don't know what is this bum thinking of himself when he said that.. he was a bum but asking for a 60% cut? that would be the joke of the year..

The other way, should be Terence accepting the 60/40 offer, which is more than fair. Again, in every big fight in boxing that has been made, there's an A-side and a B-side. One guy walks out first, the other gets to walk out second.

Whenever it's time for this guy to fight somebody where he won't be a 10-1 favorite, magically they're overpricing themselves.

Errol Spence sells more tickets,, and has done more ppv buys in one of his,, than Terence has done in both of his combined, and if he beats Ugas, will be bringing 3 belts to the table, to Terence's 1. But let's tell Errol, never mind your hard work, give this guy half, or even the bigger split.

Terence needs to get off his high horse, and make the fight. Fans need to hold him accountable, and quit making up nonsense to give the man a way out. We all know there won't be no damn 40-40 +20.

Just make the damn fight already, these are the types of fights, fight fans want to watch

[DaNeutral.]

I'd just forget about this fight. It's Top RANKS top dog v PBC top dog. That fight just isn't going to happen. American Boxing is just pathetic like that. American Boxing is imploding due to diva fighters, sleazy Promoters and moronic American so called fans.

You're a biased Spence fan. Each of them has earned about the same amount of money thus far in their careers. They need to stop dancing around one another and put that "0" on the line.

I agree that both just need to stop and agree to a 50/50 fight and see who's the man of the division
