    Tyson has always been a huge celeb. He transcended sport.
    Totally agreed. I don't think any of the current boxers can do it, including Floyd. YouTube money is different.

    This is a temporary feast. All that can do it should partake.

      It's not about the sport, it's about the stream of easy money available.

            There’s always been big money in boxing. It’s this social media era which is the catalyst. It’s all about profile over talent these days.

                Won't do much numbers in North America.

                Floyd was the last legit American boxing superstar.

                  Yeah a lot of us boxing fans are in complete DENIAL about this!

                  I personally don't think Spence Jr vs Crawford is as big as us boxing fans THINK it is. I don't know any casuals talking about or is excited about that fight the hype hasn't reached Mainstream or Casuals yet only among Hardcore Boxing Fans

                    For a time period. This is temporary.

                      I wouldn't pay for Spence-Crawford. It's a regular TV fight.
