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

I hate these kind of excuses. Simple solution 40-40 - The winner gets remaining 20. Stops the excuses.

This actually makes a lot of sense.

Here’s the thing and this is directed to Floyd haters.
There are three fights that didn’t happen when they should have happened
Cotto and Margarito in 2008 and then Pac-Man in 2010.

In the case of Crawford, he’s not in a fight against Spence’s team like Floyd was with Arum who was the promoter of Cotto, Margarito and Pac-Man so if this fight don’t happen, it’s Crawford’s fault. He is not a superstar like Floyd and his PPV numbers are not even 20% of what Floyd’s were.
More important, Crawford hasn’t had a fight that defines his career. Other than unifying 140, he’s done nothing at 147.

He’s just ducking Spence. Period.

his own promoter says he can't draw flies, yet Crawfish thinks he's A-side. He'll continue fighting no-hopers...

Apply pressure! Salute to Cassidy! LMAO! Bud can't have it both ways! You're promoter is saying that you don't sell! Spence has fought in AT&T Stadium with 47K in attendance! He's fighting Brook, Porter, and Garcia! You're fighting Khan, Kavaliauskas, and Brook! The scenario is not in your favor! Get the Manny fight, and bounce from TR! ASAP!

This just tells you Crawford, like most in modern boxing, is afraid of a real challenge. Like everyone else he knows well that him vs Spence is a 50/50 fight and both deserve an even split. To say otherwise just tells me you are avoiding him. Suuuuuure, he would say he's playing the negotiating game, but if you REALLY want to fight the best (for a change) you should just say 50/50, or at worst 60% to the winner, 40% to the lyuuuooooser.

Crawford wants to fight bums for millions forever. At least he admits it. The only choice for Arum is to get Crawford to drop back down in weight there is nothing at welter or super welter. Ramirez, Prograis and Taylor are all possibilities and maybe Lopez in the future.

He he would've replied with 50/50 then yeah but for HIM to ask for 60/40 his way considering what his own promoter is saying about him at this exact moment, it makes him sound absolutely INSANE!

I Like Bud by the way so this is no "HATE BUD" reply but COME ON!

[Boxing Goat]

How are you so convinced when Spence the one saying 60/40 I'd feel the same exact way as Crawford after everything

Do you not know how to read or what? I explained my position right there in my post. You disagree? Great.

[1Eriugenus]

Its a negotiating position. As the older, more established man Bud wants the edge. If Spence's team agreed 55/45 in Bud's favour I bet he'd bite their hand off.

This fight got to happen man

Crawford is a hall of famer..? I musta been asleep for that one

He's one of two lineal champions past ten years (Usyk other) and he's undefeated across 3 divisions without ever having a close fight.

Crawford is a HOF fighter already

[BirdSong]

if spence proves he's back it should be 50/50 i think
