Spence: Crawford needs to accept 70/30 or whtevr we give.Canelo a possibility for me.

[DaNeutral.]

So what if he is dismissive? It’s not errol’s job to hype the fight and make Crawford seem like a threat.

You want Errol to act like Crawford is his equal at WW. That he doesn’t in no way suggests he doesn’t want the fight.

Errol is the recognized best ww in the world. Everyone at ww wants to fight him or the biggest money fight, Manny.

It’s almost as if you think Errol is challenging Crawford for the wbo title and he needs to beg Crawford for a fight.

Don’t get it twisted Son. Crawford is challenging Errol for the top spot at ww.

You’re out of you’re f-cking mind if you think that is how a champion of errols stature is supposed to show he wants a fight.

You expect him to show up at Crawford’s fights? Not until the fight gets signed.

I just want Errol to WANT the fight. I am a Boxing fan and those two are clearly the stand out guys in the division and in the sport as a whole.

Its funny how PBC fans keep going on about how much it meant at Heavyweight when number 1 and number 2 fought yet at 147 number 1 and number 2 are Bud and Errol and one of them, as you have just acknowledged keeps distancing themselves from the fight.

Like I keep saying, errol has acted noticeabley dismissive of Crawford ever since he turned up at 147, the PBC leave Crawford out even when they do list of 147 champions. It's fkking embarrassing.

Bottom line Spence doesn’t want the fight, period. This is what’s killing boxing, not Tyson or Floyd fighting YouTubers.

I like both men but Crawford has to understand that Spence has the better resume. What’s the fkn big deal taking a 40/60? Their BOTH rich as fk. So suck it up Crawford. If your as good as u think. You will win anyways. Then U can control the money.
I don’t think some of these boxers believe in themselves enough. Few are real men. Look what Spence did. He went to England and fought. How many champions do that in their prime? Answer- VERY VERY FEW.

Normally, I would agree with you but the fact is Arum is telling the truth. He has lost a lot of money on Bud Crawford fights.

Terence is a non charismatic fighter with no hustle, angle, schtick or loyal following or fanbase; To the point where it has become very difficult for casual fans to even notice him.

A joint promotion between ESPN and Fox would be catastrophic for both platforms because Crawford doesn't bring any new boxing fans with him to the sport. Both Haymon and Arum would lose money on a joint promotion.

This is an under rated post.

You know who used to be in the exact same position as Crawford? Yup, Pretty Boy Floyd Mayweather.

Being a great fighter is only half the equation. If you don’t have charisma and don’t draw fans you’re not going to always get big fights.

Other posters are talking about Canelo. Canelo would welcome a Spence fight because of the money it could make and because it’s not a high risk given the size difference.

My suggestion to Crawford- become Terrance Cash Crawford. Keep in mind ODH didn’t fight Pretty Boy Floyd, he fought Money Mayweather.

If ever there was a fight purse that could be split 50/50, this is it.
Possibly 55/45 for Spence.

As far as talking smack goes, I'd rather hear a fighter say, "I'll fight that rat bastard for FREE, just get him in the ring with me!". The diva stuff is sometimes disgusting.

Skill-wise I'd agree it should be 50/50.

Revenue-wise Errol should get the bigger piece of the pie. This is a asses in seats money & PPV buys business. Errol is better at that than Bud is.

I mean c'mon Bud's fooking promoter is saying he's losing money on him ffs. That's not a guy who's in any position for a 50/50 big money fight.

[501_Boy]

Crawford walked straight to Spences face and told him the deal, Spence had been intimidated since then. He knows there is no punk in Crawford and he doesn’t seem to want any part of it.

[DaNeutral.]

The PBC fans would be more than happy to see that fight but just not on ESPN's, Top Rank's and Crawford's terms. If that fight happens it's going to have to be on Fox Sports PBC because Spence and Haymon hold all the bargaining chips, cards and the upper hand at the moment.

They don't need Crawford but Crawford needs them. So if Crawford is truly serious about fighting Spence he knows what he has to do. He can start by following the Manny Pacquiao blueprint in signing with Haymon as a free agent for a one fight deal and possibly an option for a second fight.

He doesn't need to go and sign with anybody, the PBC can make an offer to Bud. It doesn't have to be cross promotion. Where has this ****** thing come from about needing to cross a street and sign with PBC?

Hey it don't matter, Spence dont want to fight Bud, what ever, best fight in the division, one of the biggest in the sport and a unification fight too. Forget it. If Spence is scared Spence is scared and he really is, I know a duck when I see one.

Errol hasn’t shown that he doesn’t want the fight. What he hasn’t done is act subservient and like he is the challenger chasing the champion. What you want is Errol to act as if he is the lesser fighter because he is with pbc. Sorry but that will not happen nor should it.

Posters Calling you out for your biased opinion and false narratives isn’t distancing themselves from the fight. You’re just full of sh-t and biased.

Like I said, if he is dismissive so what? When you’re on top you ignore a lot of stuff.

You don’t see the Chiefs or Alabama calling other teams out do you? Of course not.

Now you’re stuck in the past. PBC did that over a year ago and all of us called them out for it.

At the last fight they put Crawford and his title on screen and then showed him in the crowd and talked about him.

What they didn’t do is give him a platform to speak. They also hyped their fighters ahead of him.

Its obvious you wanted pbc to use airtime to hype Crawford rather than the other 147lb fighters on their roster. You would never ask another promoter or network to do that nor would you do that for Errol if you worked at a competing company.

Why do want pbc and their fighters to make up for the deficiencies other companies have in marketing their fighters?

Yeah you're right I know Spence sells more. I said to give him the edge, for the exact reasons you stated.

[MDPopescu]

huh? he can still pursue a pac fight or a thurman fight....at 147 lol

i dont care what your opinion of thurman or pac is...those are both feasible and good fights....spence is not out of options at 147 yet...not at all...

... good luck with these two "feasible" fights...
