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

[Ca$ual Fan]

a) Canelo @ 160 is a better fight!

b) 70-30 for Crawford is ridiculous!

c) Boots will take 70-30 ASAP!

MAN UP!

Boots needs to finish the food in his plate. I heard the Van Heerden fight didn’t go very well

I hate to see fights stalled because of this but we arnt living in the Don King era anymore and fighters (especially who are their own promoters) have much more power than they used to. All that being said, Errol is right.....he has the much stronger resume at welterweight and has consistently done the higher PPV numbers and gate.

Just like Thurman, Spence went from "don't duck me son" to "I can't fight him because ____" BS.

These guys are being good businessmen I guess...but since I dont get the money, I dont care. Spence with this BS, Crawford wanting Pacquaio first...Im tired of these guys not fighting or even ACTING like they wanna fight the best, Im gonna spend my PPV dollars in a different division.

Spence got Thurman, Pac and after Pac, he and Canelo can make a massive fight in Texas. Bud better take that 60/40 because he is irrelevant to Spence's future big fights.

Best response. Exactly. Spence isn’t staying at welterweight much longer anyway. I’m guessing he will be much stronger and finish more at higher ko rates. Crawford has come up from lightweight. lol his future paths lead to the pbc welterweights. He’s only harming himself and his career. 60-40 it is

This is a re-run of Thurman avoiding the one guy that presents a stylistic nightmare.

It's not that complicated, Spence simply ducked Crawford.

Barring a Donald Curry-Loyd Honeyghan moment, boots looks like the future of the division at least for now. Hes a big welterweight and I don’t see him staying at welterweight long either

If they are both serious, which I don’t believe either is right now, it would have to be 50-50. But unlike other stone cold idiots, I don’t believe either fighter is “afraid” to fight the other. It’s really about ego and who is the A side and commands more of the money. I know Spence isn’t afraid of Bud if he wants to fight Canelo. When I say afraid, I mean with respect to physical harm or being knocked out. And if people are saying Spence or Bud are afraid to fight each other “stylistically” because a loss would alter their careers, I would buy that. But I also believe both are so damn confident in their own ability and skill, that they aren’t afraid for that reason either. 50-50 gets it done.

I get the impression these two are afraid of each other ....this is bollocks
