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

Pac is biggest draw still but Spence has drawing power. Can't say same for Crawford and that's why it's smart for both to try to fight Pac next. Correct?

Nah. Spence and Crawford should fight each other and then the winner can fight PAC.

If the winner beats PAC, you now have a bonafied superstar. If he doesn’t beat PAC, then at least he got two solid paychecks.

Neither Bud or Spence are stars nor have drawing power.
Crawford’s lack of drawing power is mostly due to his choice of competition.

I beg to differ. Pac needs a cash out payday also so he should fight Spence. Spence does 250k to 350k PPV which is only second to Canelo I believe. Spence vs Crawford won't be as big until Spence beats Pac to get worldwide acclaim. Bud won't be fighting anyone from PBC until he's out of his deal.

As an unbiased observer that doesn't have a particular favorite, I'm beginning to see that Spence doesn't want any part of Crawford. That's usually the case when one guy is asking for an unfair purse division. Like when Joshua was ducking Wilder.

Not enough $$ in a Spence vs Crawford right now for both PBC and top stank to make. PBC will sign Crawford after oct 2021 and then fight will be made. Wilder vs Fury was worth the cross promotion.

60-40 is a very fair purse division in this case, though.

Gentleman, listen to this man right here speak. You might learn something, especially the half a$$ casuals that think they know everything, but DKSAB.
Well said BX as always

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!

Haymon & Arum should make the same two fight deal they made for Fury and Wilder.

50-50 for the first fight, and the rematch will be 60-40 in favor of the winner.

HAYMON would be smart to wait to sign Crawford to control all $$ and give fighters better purses. Don't look for this fight until late 2021 or 2022. It make's no sense right now.

This fight will NOT even get discussed until after next October when Crawford leaves top stank. Look for Spence vs Pac 2021 and then winner fights Crawford early 2022. If Spence wins both then he chases Canelo at 160. Book it!!

Canelo Spence is not gonna happen at 160 - and especially not in 2022 when Canelo will be a fixture at 168 and unable to make 160.

There's fighters on PBC who he can see at 154 - Jermell can be a big promotion if both keep winning

No point in both of them saying the same thing. It’s not like they are both going to offer each other a fight. What they both need to do is shut tha phuck up. Ring their managers and get them to sit at the table and open their PPV books, see who sells what and then work out a split, that’s where you would see the real numbers. For this reason alone I don’t think this fight would ever even make it to the negotiating table, as the books would reveal a lot of fabricated numbers.

That doesn’t guarantee the fight happening, Spence and Thurman were on the same side of the streets, Leo and Gary Russell were on the same side of the streets..... And those fights DID not happen.
