Comments Thread For: Spence Says Crawford Needs To Take Lower Purse Split: "I'm The Big Dog At 147"

[Bronx2245]

Childish attacks deleted.

You're making my point.

Thurman was already declining by the time Spence was on the rise.

Fighting him in 2015 would have made no sense.

Keith Thurman was 27 years old in 2015! He had just become the full WBA Welterweight Champion!

Errol Spence is 30! He has not stopped Mikey, Porter, nor DSG! If Boots fights him now, are you going to say Boots fought Errol Spence Jr. in his "decline?" C'mon now, please stop!

[Bronx2245]

When Spence called out Thurman in 2015, neither of them were world champions.

Currently, Spence is a unfied champion and Virgil and Boots haven't even faced a top ten fighter.

There is absolutely no comparison to the Spence/Thurman situation of 2015 and the Virgil/Boots situation with Spence.

Before you claim Thurman was world champion like so many others have here, he wasn't.

Floyd Mayweather was the WBA and WBC champion, Pacquiao the WBO, and Brook the IBF.

Thurman had the regular WBA belt, which is nothing but a mandatory position with a belt just so that the WBA can collect sanctioning fees.

Floyd was the WBA champ.

Spence called out Thurman many times before he broke Brook and took his IBF title! Spence is still pissed by how Thurman dissed him! Now Spence can "do onto others..." If he doesn't want to fight Crawford, and he can't get Pacquiao or Canelo, Boots Ennis is ready and willing, and Spence can have his 70% too!

Same goes for Crawford, in fact even more so! If Spence don't want that work, and neither does Pacquiao, then Vergil Ortiz is ready and willing, and Crawford can have his 60% too! Ortiz will bring more fans than Crawford will! Trust!

yeah spence is the only guy in history to use anothers guys name ...lol

Of course not but Spence literally just whined and complained that Crawford is using his name...and here is Spence doing the EXACT same thing...

like when bud shot down a porter fight on camera saying "thats not on my radar"...even though shawn would be his best win/scalp and instead fought a faded kell brook that spence beat up...nah dont fight the guy that pushed spence in a FOTY candidate...fight the guy spence beat years ago lol

I mean Crawford and Porter are apparently real close in real life. If Crawford is trying to work around that I get it. Crawford been begging Pacman, Thurman, Danny, and Errol for a fight and they're all stonewalling him.

Crawford has dominated 3 divisions, not 1 like Errol, Keith, and Shawn, so Crawford's record is better than any individual win.

And Crawford DOMINATED the guy that took Errol 11 rounds and it was 4-4 through 8 of those rounds (before Kell Brook gassed from going up/down 2 weight classes against Borat).

all this after bob arum was saying "were eyeing a shawn porter fight" for some time leading up to the mean machine fight

And? It didn't happen. Brook was a good fight. Could've been better (Keith Thurman, for example) but it didn't happen.

In case you didn't notice - and I'm sure you didn't because youre slow - Porter LOST every important fight in his career. So Porter is still a GOOD OPPONENT he's far from the desired opponent. Thurman, Spencer, and Pacman are the Top 3 wishlist with Paman and Spencer being #1 and #2.

yeah its spence using others names to big up himself...like when timmy bradley is on espn saying the pbc guys are ducking

Ummm...yeah? The PBC guys are ducking. That's what this is about.

but kenny porter says "call us we can make that fight"...and you say "nah not on my radar" on camera when asked about porter...lol

Eh Porter is Crawford's mandatory so let's see what happens.

You're real focused on one recent example without acknowledging DOZENS of examples.

Wilder (PBC) got KTFO and has been crying about metal eggs and his trainer doping him...LMFAO

Gervonta (PBC) wants NOTHING to do with Lopez, Garcia, Loma, or Haney which is why he moved DOWN to 130 and he doesn't want those guns either...Shakur/Berchelt/etc.

Thurman and Danny hide behind promotional banners and say Crawford is "across the street" yet Haymon is a MANAGER and NOT a PROMOTER meaning there are NO CONTRACTS binding PBC fighters from fighting ANYONE. PBC fighters are CHOOSING to NOT fight Crawford. Period.

Spencer (PBC) refuses to fight Crawford and is instead begging to drag Canelo down to 160...despite never fighting at 160 or even 154...LMFAO

All the while #1 PFP Crawford is asking for the fight and Spencer keeps saying "60/40"...he agreed?..."I meant 70/30"...LMFAO

Spence doesn't want the Crawford fight. Ever. He will lose. And he might even get STOPPED. You will be on suicide watch.

[#1PaperChamp]

If Bud doesn't accept 60/40, he is ducking.

Rumor is Bud accepted 60/40 which is why Spence is now saying 70/30...because Spencer is DUCKING.

Spence is BITCH MADE...BOY

Last I heard, Bud said 50/50 or no fight.

Last I heard, Bud said 50/50 or no fight.

Yeah that's why the post said "RUMORS". It was on YT from a Podcast that apparently TR/Bud were pursuing the Spencer fight and now, in public interviews, Spencer is moving the goal posts...60/40 moar like 70/30...

Spencer doesn't want to fight Crawford. It is a DUCK. Spencer wants Pacquiao or will go to 154

[whollisboxing]

Canelo would hurt Spence. Spence has a very tight jab and he likes to walk his opponents down - that won't work. At all. Versus Canelo.

Canelo has had Golovkin walk him down 24 rounds as well as countless other HOF fighters.

It's easy for Spence to walk someone down when he is taller, longer, and heavier but Canelo always fights under those conditions.

Spence has a great jab but Canelo hurts Errol en route to a decision win. Spence has too much heart to get stopped.

It's just conjecture by Spence though...Spence accused Crawford of using his name to gain publicity...Spence is doing the exact same thing with Canelo lol

I get what you're saying and honestly I'm tired of Spence and Crawford either downplaying each other.

As for Spence vs Canelo, he does like to walk down fighters but I'm curious to see if he would be able to jab effectively in the center of the ring. Spence is actually taller and longer than Canelo but not heavier obviously and Canelo himself is proof that size alone doesn't win fights.

Lmao. Old PAC is still the big dog at 147, that’s why both of them are hollering for fights against him and PAC has the best 147 win in the current division, against Thurman.

Neither Spence nor Crawford are draws or stars. Gtfoh.

Bud has no better option than that Spence 60 /40 offer. Who Bud gonna fight instead.

[Noelanthony]

Seems like Spence is being a lil unreasonable with his 70-30 claim.
It should be a true prize fight......
40-40 and winner gets the 20 percent

No way.! Spence has been campaigning at 147 a lot longer than Crawford he has also acquired 2 belts compared to Crawford’s one belt. 60/40 in Spence’s favour is more realistic if Spence is really serious about unifying
