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

[FLY TY]

Joshua Ruiz? Lol that old chest nut. Who is a unified champion right now and who is the biggest joke in the sport right after the 600 excuses and twerking. Joshua won his rematch, Wilder got demolished in his by a feather fist. Not out boxed, demolished. No wonder he never wanted any smoke with Joshua.

Deflection at it's finest. Ruiz was still a cherry-pick gone wrong for the big Brit robot.

Spence fought Danny Swift because Manny ran after a lightweight and got stripped.

floyd ducked margarito and even went on retirement

Wilder Turner him down so he went for Big Baby Miller, Miller popped dirty so he offered Luis Ortiz a career high offer, team Ortiz turned it down and they grabbed Ruiz on short notice. Hardly a cherry pick. I'm sure Ruiz will be deemed a very viable option should Wilder make a fight with him.

Wilder took on Fury coming off major drug drink and food addiction whilst being clinically depressed. Then took the rematch based on Fury being a feather fist who couldn't hurt a fly which would provide 12 full rounds for Wilder to be perfect for 2 seconds and win by KO (Wilders own words).

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

This is moronic. Would you work more and be worth more than someone else at your job but expect a lazy worthless guy to be paid the same? Hell no you wouldn't. Crawford draws less, has less belts, his belt is considered by most to be the least prestigious major belt, his welterweight resume is trash and worse than Spence's, and he is less known overall. Spence would be rtarded to give that narcissistic cherry picking hype job equal or more pay. And it's rtarded that people suggest this sheeit. Crawford should take what he gets offered or ask for a fair split. 40% is more than fair. 50/50 or 60/40 his way is delusional and asinine. Crawford needs Spence more than Spence needs Crawford also.

No it doesn't, because then come fight night you'll end up with a controversial draw.

In that case they could split the remaining 20% as well. Seems like a reasonable solution to me.

Can't have it both ways.

That's why 40/40 has never been done and never will be.

Why is it fair for a unified champion with wins over FOUR Top 5 opponents, to make the same as a guy with one belt and NO notable wins at the weight class?

You're rewarding bum chasers at that point.

I was just responding to the question about 40-40 and 20 to the winner. I think Crawford should take less if necessary to get Spence in the ring because a win makes him the A-side for the foreseeable future, however he seems to be content with how his career is going so I guess we won’t see the fight. That’s unfortunate, but then again it’s his prerogative and maybe he just has different priorities.

Exactly my point. Spence won't fight anyone outside of PBC.
Manny became unavailable. Terence is available with a belt.
Errol Truth fought Danny Swift. There you go.
Don't know why you guys are not honoring what he wants.

[hugh grant]

Crawford getting on my nerves. You not fought anyone yet, so you need to give some indicator you want a big fight. Need to compromise champ.
40-40 and winner gets extra 20%, you need to earn that extra 20 %

Crawford is not "available" as long as he's demanding 60% undeservedly. That's called pricing yourself out.

Why is this not getting across?
