Comments Thread For: Crawford on Spence's Purse Demands: Maybe That Wreck Knocked a Couple Screws Loose

[peplz]

I'm starting to think that neither guy really wants it.

If you really wanted to see the fight you would reject the notion that Errol SuSpnece is some how a superstar who has a huge amount of leverage against Terence Crawford. You know its not true. Its just an excuse to avoid a fight that he would most likely lose. Trying to make it into an equal blame scenario is just the same as Errol Spence’s excuses and delusional proclamations of being a PPV star.

Well top rank says they are losing money on Bud. So he is running out of options lol..

Meanwhile, Spence is hosting succesfull PPVs.

Spence is gonna get the Pacquiao fight and all there is going to be left for Crawford is to go fk himself haha.

If Spence team wanted to make the fight, it would happen.

Example being what they are doing with Fury vs Joshua,
50-50 for first fight,
60-40 for winner of the second fight.

Easy.

Nope.

Crawford has absolutely no numbers in his favor to justify 50/50.

Yes he does. Terence Crawford has more twitter followers than Errol Spence. And Errol Spence the only has a few more IG followers than Crawford. Crawford is also a multiple division champion. 3 divisions to Spence’s 1. What numbers does Spence have that make him such a huge draw that he thinks he can tell a 3 division champion who is considered the top pound for pound fighter and has the same amount of social media followers as him that he’s going to have to accept “whatever we offer him”?Thats just an open bold statement that says he does not want to fight Terence Crawford. Its so honest and open that some of y’all don’t want to believe it.

crawford doesnt realise how badly spence hit his head in that crash

when they are arguing about who gets the biggest purse this is what spence is seeing

Would you rather see him go f himself or in the ring with Errol Spence? Would you rather see Spence explore all of his supposed many options before facing Crawford? I personally don’t care about either one of their options cause I want to see them fight each other. Bob Arum’s unprofessional behavior just proves that the numbers on Crawford’s fights don’t tell the full story and that his promoter is actively working against him. Crawford having a bad relationship with his senile promoter doesn’t make Errol Spence and Danny Garcia’s mediocre PPV numbers look any better than what they are.

This is man who clearly doesn’t understand the business and the numbers. The fight is to prove who’s the best. Take the B side and fight. You’ll make more money in that fight as b side than you will a side vs pretty much anyone else. And if you win you can set up a rematch as the a side and guarantee big fights the rest of your career. Short sightedness

You can say the same thing about Spence. Take the b side and be the a side in the rematch and beyond.

thats idealistic boxing fan talk...it dont happen in real life

spence isnt some big a-side over bud...but hes def got an advantage...another fight or two and he could have himself a decent sized advantage

This is one of the big problems with boxing. LeBron didn't negotiate in every playoff series based on star power, and say or I won't play in the Finals.

Fighters who aren't Mayweather or Canelo need to be more reasonable. Spence will make less money against a lesser guy instead of fighting the best fighter in his weight class.

dont try to compare boxing to league sports..or even ufc which is basically a league sport...everything is different...its not even comparible....and i could easily tell you why but you should be smart enough to know...their models and approach are much different....its not even apples to oranges thats how much boxing differs from the nba, nfl and even ufc...

again...we can be idealists....guys arent simply going to say "well im worth 60 percent...but ill take 50 so maybe if theres a rematch i can take 60-65"...what if there is no rematch? guys arent going to act and take deals like that.......the sport of boxing is much tougher to navigate than being a star basketball players or football player
