Just... Never change, NSB.
Wilder refuses $50mil, NSB mad. Crawford refuses 40%, NSB smiles. Legit

I wonder if that 40% was worth $50m would he take it though? If it’s for legacy, that’s well paid enough to fight for it. If it’s for the money, that’ll set you and you family up for generations. -

Forget Crawford, Spence should go after Pacquiao. If not then Thurman or Porter 2.
Crawford doesn’t have a lot of options. 147-154 has about 16 total PBC fighters from The Ring’s top 10 of 147-154. But he has said he’s happy with his career and isn’t worried about fighting Spence. So Spence should do the same.
Go after Pacquiao and Thurman then move up if he wins, fight lower tier 154 fighters like Lubin, Texeira to get feet wet, then aim for Charlo.
Spence has lots of options. Crawford has slim pickings. He will have to wait til after October 2021 to sign with PBC if he wants. I doubt he would though, because that means he will have to step up in competition and he probably won’t want to do that at age 34. Fights vs Spence, Porter, Thurman, and even Pacquiao at age 43, would be much better opponents than he has ever faced in his career.Comment

I'll bet money Spence will never fight Charlo. Either Charlo. They're too friendly.Forget Crawford, Spence should go after Pacquiao. If not then Thurman or Porter 2.

It doesn't matter. The point is, it would be more money in a single fight than Crawford had ever made, and it's a fair offer. Floyd has explained how B-Side pay is commonly calculated.

Real fans recognize when a fighter is ducking by asking for more money than they can generate because their resume at the weight class is garbage.
I want a fighter to SHOW me he deserves the payday.
Keef has shown.
Porter has shown.
Swift has shown.
Ugas has shown.
Crawford has not.
Ok, so I want any of the guys I listed to PROVE this 'eye test' against a threat, not the ghost of a good fighter.
You are going by 'eye test' and saying Crawford is great.
I go by resume and say he hasn't shown me anything that convinces me he beats any of those.
So why should I believe he beats Spence if he can't beat any of the guys Spence beat PRIME versions of?
You say, "he can beat them!!" Based on what?
'eye test'.
Doesn't work for me.
Crawford has to PROVE HIMSELF against one of the guys I listed before I support a top fight for him
.
PROVE to me that you can knock out Shawn Porter.
PROVE to me that you can drop Danny Swift.
PROVE that you can make Keef quit or stop him (and not a BS stoppage like Horn or Khan).
He says he can do all that, so do it. With any ONE of those.Comment
