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

[SchoolTheseCats]

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

Crawford did not draw more or make more than Spence in his last fight... his guarantee was more but his ppv sells and ticket sells was way less and Spence pocketed 60% of ppv/revenue sells from event with Garcia

They both pssys , equally scared to fight each other . Fight already stop with the diva bs and make it about who’s the baddest mfker besides canelo.

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

The funny thing is that Spence would probably be a tough fight for Canelo. I know it may sound crazy but look at who Canelo has struggled against vs who he’s looked good against.

People look at the size difference and assume it’s a mismatch but honestly it’s the smaller guys who have troubled Canelo most because the big guys don’t have the coordination. Alvarez slips and counters easily against big targets but he loses some of those advantages if Spence carries his current attributes to 160

I give Spence the draw points, but that's just promotion. Will he draw less if he doesn't get paid more? Don't all fighters want a bigger fan base than the other guy? Sometimes the audience is complimented for appearences.

Did he say anything wrong; Erroll Spence did? The bottom line is outside of Nebraska Terence Bud Crawford can't draw flies to shit.

The Truth speaking the Truth.

Saying that Spence is ducking Crawford is ridiculous. Crawford hasn't done zhit to earn the A-side. All he has is ESPN saying he's p4p and we all know how meaning less that is when Loma got his a55 whooped by Lopez.

What will happen is, Spence will get the Pacquiao fight and eventually move up while Crawford will duck Porter or anyone meaningful to fight more cans. It's the sad truth for Crawford.

Both of these guys are a joke now, they don't want the fight at all

That said Spence has far more options to exercise than Bud, who's in limbo and fighting corpses like Brook

Hate this diva stuff about A side, B sides etc in boxing

Amen. I think this is the mainstream fight fan's thinking right now. It's clear that these two guys do NOT want to fight each other. Instead of being Team Bud or Team Spence, I wish that hardcore fans would start aligning themselves with Team Ennis or Team Ortiz Jr. Let's all move on and look to the future of the WW division, not the prima dona present.

Canelo absolutely devastates Spence. Errol leaves that ring with not a single false tooth left in his mouth.

At 160? given the weight struggles that Canelo himself has admitted to?

What makes you think Canelo absolutely devastates Spence besides the size difference? I'm not agreeing or disagreeing, I'm just curious to know why you think that when comparing their skillsets.

Not sure why you even bother answering that kid but yep, you nailed it
