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

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

Yep, agreed, kid looks like he will fill out and rise quickly. Pure natural athlete he is and he hits like a middleweight or more....and in effective combinations

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!!

The second Spence said 70-30, that should already tell you he wants no parts of the fight with Crawford. It’s the oldest trick in the book. Say you’re willing to fight someone but put forward ridiculous financial demands.

[NachoMan]

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.

Canelo is levels above Spence in boxing ability. He is better offensively and defensively. He has faster hands, heavier hands, better footwork, a granite chin and a far higher ring IQ. Errol Spence has nothing on Canelo.

Crawfish don't want the smoke, if he did he wouldn't price himself out.

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!

2015?

You mean right around when Keef stopped knocking people out? That Keef?

You basically wanted 'eye test' Spence to go up against vulnerable Keef.

Ok

70-30 is a bit much.

But 60-40 is right on. Like Spence said, they can sit down and compare the numbers. Crawford is going to come up way short based on his ticket sales and PPVs sold.

That's just business.

No it should be 50/50 as both are champions and it’s undisputed.
Joshua vs fury is 50/50 even though Joshua is the bigger draw by far ....in terms of PPV and ticket sales but Joshua has said fury will not take the fight otherwise so Joshua has agreed to it.
If spence is stonewalling it’s because he don’t want the fight and 70-30 is an obvious I don’t want the heat.....he should agree to meet Crawford 50/50 and make a great fight for all the gold.

[RHETOЯIC]

If I was Crawford, I would say "fuck you, nigga!!" to him... and then watch how quickly he is willing to renegotiate after he loses to a lesser.

Spence reminds me of forest gump.....not the sharpest chisel in the toolbox

Wrong. You can't be emotional about this, Crawford brings nothing to the table in terms of the numbers to merit 50/50.

Spence has more belts and has generated more money via tickets/PPV.

Tyson Fury on the other hand is recognized as the real heavyweight champion. And his last PPV against Wilder was more successful in the US market than anything Joshua has been able to do so far.
