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

Glad I'm not a fan of either clown.
I just hope to see them punish each other when they fight.

Similar to the Gatti/Ward trilogy or Morales/Barrera types
where I didn't have to root for anyone.

i dont disagree with what youre saying there.....but that has little to do with spence/bud rn...

Spence and Bud can take 50/50 and the winner will become a superstar, or they can make less money in fights that people won't care about.

TC has a fan base but for as good as he is, he’s a relative nobody. Spence does bigger numbers and has more fame.

The public don’t care about his previous accomplishments because no one knows who he is.

As of right now, Spence has more belts, more recent credible wins, and more PPV buys.

I get you gotta have a big ego as a boxer but there’s no way any reasonable boxing fan can say Bud deserves 60/40 over Spence.

i don't think errol looks at the crawford fight as a cash out fight...if thurman gets a win, spence vs thurman does similar numbers to spence vs bud...spence has manny/canelo/guys at 154...one fight won't make or break his career earnings...if bud goes to PBC next year his options will increase as well...i don't think spence vs crawford will ever be big enough for top rank and pbc to get together and think they'll do some massive numbers, only way that really could happen is if one of the guys get manny first

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

No you really can’t. Spence has had no issue getting big fights with PBC and could be in the mix for Canelo and other big fights at higher classes. He also hasn’t had his promoter say he loses money on his fights like Arum has said about Crawford.

Spence hasn't stopped guys like Mikey or Porter, which means he doesn't have enough power to get Canelo's respect. Spence will get stopped by Canelo and end up like post-GGG version of Brook.

Porter would get stopped. How many title shots they giving Porter any way. Crawford needs to fight either Spence, Pacquiao or Thurman thats it

I totally understand the point you are making, but I’d argue that at this point, I’d prefer to see porter against Bud, rather than Thurman.

I think Keith is done at the elite level. He’s too inactive, Atleast Shawn stays busy. I also Think the result would be similar to Spence W over Garcia.

I mean you’re not wrong about Canelo not respecting his power but that’s not what we’re talking about here. Crawford needs Spence, Spence doesn’t need Crawford.

Bud will knock Spencer out and the kid knows it. He can say what he wants, but Bud is the undefeated 3 division champ, not him. Bud just won by KO, not him.

[just the facts]

Bud will knock Spencer out and the kid knows it. He can say what he wants, but Bud is the undefeated 3 division champ, not him. Bud just won by KO, not him.

So Bud stops damaged goods Brook and Spence gets a lopsided win over the iron chinned, never been wobbled D Garcia and that leads you to believe Bud KOs Spence? GTFOH!

3 division champ that hasn't fought quality opposition in a while.
