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

[Jack Rivers]

A couple? The man is totally ******ed now. If not then he's just being a scared puss to avoid the fight. Such a cuck move like a little child.. If you don't like how i play then we won't play at all lol. Dude is giving up some real dough like wilder did with aj by being a ******... But we all know who was ducking who and we all know who is ducking who now with 70/30 demands.

Mayweather didn't do dumb sh1t like this.

He took less money than Arturo Gatti and Oscar de la Hoya to get those fights made. You didn't see him missing out on those opportunities.

That was Floyd when je Was barley known outside of boxing he had to take less because those guys were bigger stars.

I said it was the guys trying to be like Floyd. When they made Floyd, they broke the mold.

People quick to say how it works but the fights not getting made so change how it works. What doesn't work is fighters ducking other fighters. What doesnt work is all tye belts and sanctioning bodies and weightclasses. What doesnt work is all these janky promoters protecting fighters and not giving the fans the best fights. And when did it become ok to pay 70 dollars to watch Canelo beat up on a hopeless Brit. Fans gotta stop being complacent and settling for whatever making excuses for these fighters. Do you want to see the fight or not?

"At The End Of The Day", in the BUSINESS of boxing, the A-Side calls the shots.

That person is the one with more belts in the division, draws more money, and/or has beaten top opponents. In the CURRENT weight class.

This is not a hard formula. It's up to the B-Side fighters to get in line and humbly ask for fights, while accepting whatever terms.

If Tyson Fury could do it for Wilder, Crawford should for Spence.

Problem is, as long as BoMac is in the mix, you won't see this fight. Mark my words.

I can see Buds point. Canelo isn't going to skip one taco to fight Spence at 160. Can anybody tell me why he would? Canelo can get paid just as good where he's at and he said he plans to stay there. Spence is fabricating stumbling blocks.

Best believe this fight will happen before October 202 bob isn’t ****** enough to let bud walk without cashing in on that fight... now this is my take on it, if bud, for some reason does not fight Errol before his contract is over and re signs with top rank, that’s a straight DUCK!

Spence has sold 900k PPV’s in total. Crawford has sold maybe 250k total. Spence is the A-side. Not 70/30 though. I would say 60-40.

Crawford is barely known outside of boxing. 50k vs Postol, 150k vs Khan. Spence has 900k total. Crawford needs to take less. But it sounds like he is content with the opponents he is fighting right now.

Lomg as we not defending this bs im good. All this trying to explain the "business of boxing" I dont need it. I understand it very well. Im just calling out the bs saying whats what. And last I checked making the most money to risk your life is what you should be after right? So if this is the biggest fight money wise for both (besides a Pac fight) then if it makes dollars it makes sense. As boxing fans we dont need to settle for mediocrity. The sport dying as is and supporting the bs is helping kill it. Boxing needs an overhaul in the worst way

[Jack_sh*t]

Bud should offer Spence a 70/30 split in favour of the winner. Spence won't take that though because he knows Terence smokes him.
