Comments Thread For: Terence Crawford Manager/Trainer: Spence Trying To Find A Way Out With Crawford

[peplz]

Again, you're ignoring that Spence & Crawford come from the same country. Texas & Nebraska aren't even that far away from each other.

Wilder & Joshua do not.

It's ridiculous for a guy from a country of 60 million to try to lowball another champion from a country of 330 million, where the most money is to be made.

I’ve never heard of home country size being used as a leverage point, but okay. I guess...

We never used to hear about any of this **** anyway.

Lennox Lewis was talking about A-Side was he? Exactly.

Doesn't change the reason why champions from all over the planet come to America to make their money. There is more to be made in America. It's not just a bigger population, it's consumerism.

American spending on consumer products: 16,902,980

UK: 1,835,014

1% of America is equal to about 6% UK spending.

Beating the likes of Indongo at 140 to unify hasn't impressed enough to get people to buy Crawford's PPVs.

At the end of the day you come to the table with your numbers when you negotiate a purse split. That's the way it has always been, I don't get why some of you guys want the rules to change just for Crawford now.

He puts up numbers when he headlines on ESPN.

Again, I haven't seen any definitive proof that Spence is any more popular than Crawford, he just fights more popular guys like the 2 Garcias & Shawn Porter and has the PBC machine behind him.

You act like Spence is Canelo or Pacquiao or something. He's not any more popular than Crawford.

How come you haven't.

When we talk about Canelo's Mexican fanbase, what do you think that's based on? Or Mexican fighters in general?

127 million Mexicans and like 30 million Mexican Americans.

It's why they're usually more popular than Puerto Rican fighters, even when they're equally talented.

It's also why they're trying to find a good Chinaman to do something in boxing because China's fxcking huge

Okay so basically its a completely bogus argument that makes zero sense.

ESPN is free tv.

When it comes to paid attendance and PPV sales its no contest. Spence is the clear A-side when you compare those figures.

Funny you should mention Pacquiao. BoMac thinks Crawford deserves 50/50 against him too. That's how delusional they are.

Smh espn is NOT free T.V. it's cable tv. You pay for cable.

[DaNeutral.]

13 pages of this? It's really quite simples, Spence and the PBC don't want the Crawford fight. We can all argue over the reasons why they don't but they just don't.

Personally I think they feel Crawford beats Spence and they have just built him in to a PPV player and a loss, especially the loss of his belt damages that.

its business who cares what country

[HewJohnson]

Bud beats Spence and it’s clear Spence is ducking.

Spence knows if he loses to Terrence, there goes all his stock.

And he fears he will.
