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

[adeathnote]

I totally get why an undefeated, 3 division champ and current 147 belt holder would want to accept a lower percentage than Danny Garcia. If you honestly think Spence wants to make this fight you need to get your head checked. The Spence vs Danny fight only did like 250k buys, this guy acts like he’s doing a million.

Why do you want that 'eye test' in there? A guy that just failed to get the job done against Spence's leftovers?

What is it with you people wanting UNTESTED guys to get the top guy?

No. Ennis can fight Formella. That's a good test at his level.

Crawford can fight Porter, Keef, Ugas or even Gary Russell Jr., or even Mikey. I don't care at this point if he will keep refusing to accept B-Side status.

Callum Smith was the TRUE #1 guy and he happily accepted B-Side against Canelo.

Wasn't long ago, I was one of those people wanting Spence to fight Keith Thurman! That was back in 2015! I wasn't crazy then, and i'm not crazy now! Boots is ready for Spence! Vergil is ready for Crawford! MAN UP!

Including back end Errol made 3.5 million Crawford made 4 million fighting Brook.

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.

a) Canelo @ 160 is a better fight!

Canelo would never take that fight.

First off Canelo is fighting at 168, not 160, and said last night he wants to unify SMW.

Destroying Spence at 160 would earn Canelo zero props the same way Spence destroying Mikey Garcia earned him zero props.

Spence continues to fight at 147 - avoiding Crawford there - has never fought at 154 or 160 but fans are supposed to get excited for Spence calling Canelo out??

Spence is using the oldest trick in the book. He's using Canelo's name to big himself up

Jaron Ennis will take it follow him on social media he will have no problems with 70/30

The thing is that Crawford hasn't proven he can even beat someone like Porter or Garcia yet,he could've gained a ton of leverage(& respect) over Spence if hed have faced Porter instead of a washed up drained Brook & beaten him better than Spence (its ironic that Bud fans were saying Brook was drained when Spence broke his face,yet now the much older,more drained & washed up brook is Crawfords best ww win. And vs Bud he made Bud look bad til he quit to get paid. Vs Spence he came to win unlike vs Bud where he had no intention of competing, just get paid,so he quit

And Spence is the one who came back from long layoff & broken teeth surgery,but hes the one who faced a better opponent than anyone on buds resume in DSG)

Spence is in the position Canelo was in pre ggg,he has tons of options & everyone wants to fight him,yet Crawford like ggg hasn't been doing anything to remotely call shots but he thinks hes the A side & can dictate without any leverage or resume,all he has is that bs WBO he hasn't been mandated to defend against Porter as he should be,but soon enough hes going to have to fight Porter & he might lose imo.

Crawford can fight a live dog, and make big money, probably 70-30 split: Terence Crawford vs. Vergil Ortiz Jr.! MAN UP!

Spence dont want to fight Crawford and its not complicated. Spence has made it clear and Crawford still looks like a D O G in the ring.

I said Spence was ducking Crawford years ago and the only thing changed is more people realizing it

[Bronx2245]

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

You heard wrong! He was lighting that azz up! That head butt saved Van Heerden from a KO loss! That fight was NOT going past 5!

Keep in mind...Crawford drew more and made more than Spence in their last fight and Spence still wants 60/40.

If Spence wants 60/40 for Crawford, He will want 99 /2% for Boots.


No chance, Spence will move up

[Bronx2245]

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

I say 2 years tops! He'll be a MW in his prime!
