[Curt Henning]

This fight is never happening.

lol...we always hear this from people who dont understand the sport and the game...if both guys stay uneaten its DEFINITLEY going to happen....just a matter of how soon....you should pay more attention to the sport though....theres too much money for them not to if they keep winning......you hear a couple of guys going against each other in the media and think "this is hopeless"...lol...you must be new

Pacquiao is never going to agree to 50 - 50 split he is main drawing power a Superstar You can ask 50 - 50 with Spence but the best you will get with Pacman is 60-40 if you are lucky.

[ShoulderRoll]

Crawford doesn't think he can win the fight. If he did he would take the 60-40 split for the chance to stamp his greatness.

Floyd took less against both Arturo Gatti and Oscar De La Hoya. He didn't cry about it, he just went out there and won the fights and catapulted himself into the stratosphere.

Now, tell me how asking 50/50 firm is not ducking.

Trying to use the media to negotiate for a bigger percentage is ducking. Always has been always will be.

[peplz]

I hate to call it ducking because I like Crawford as a fighter. However 50-50 isn’t realistic and if BoMac gonna speak like Crawford is in the driver seat of any negotiation with Spence or Pac-Man, then the fights won’t get made.

Y’all are delusional. Spence Garcia did mediocre numbers. He is not a big draw. Its so weird that y’all all of sudden consider 300k to be big numbers. Thats very thin. Every single person who knows who Errol Spence is knows who Terence Crawford is. Crawford has achieved way more in the sport than Spence has and they are about as equally well known. Arguing for Spence’s desire to make more money is code for saying you know that Spence would lose. It’s becoming painfully obvious.

Mediocre numbers? During a pandemic?

Remind us how Crawford vs Khan did. In more normal times.

[PRchamp]

Why can’t these guys just fight already. Crawford should take whatever percentage he gets and just beat Spence and that will make him more $$$. Spence needs to pump the breaks on the Canelo fight that fight is straight trash.

Spence vs Crawford...winner is undisputed and if the fight is good, have a rematch. If not the winner can drop all the belts and move up to 154 so they can start making noise there.

Bud wants to be great, fight Spence and beat him and move up to 154 and fight little Charlo that would be great.

Spence wants to be great, fight Crawford and beat him and move up to 154 win a belt there before even mentioning Canelo

I'd watch Spence vs Canelo. I'd watch Spence vs Crawford. I just wanna watch good fights. It seems kinda hypocritical though to frequently hear things like "Crawford has to get a belt. Who's Crawford fought, hasn't fought anybody in the division. Crawford don't deserve this fight..." only to turn around and say he wants a Canelo fight, in a division he has no belt in, hasn't fought anyone in and likely other parallels between his arguments in the Spence vs Crawford situation can be made

We need more fans like you around.

They basically both need each other to get any major fights. Their PPV Numbers are like 250k apart, probably not more than 100k apart, and I bet if they dare sit down to negotiate or open their books, the real numbers would be shocking.
