    Crawford is not a PPV star, and Thurman is demanding $10 million. Logically, he should deserve more in a fight with Spence, who is touted by his fans as now a PPV sensation.

      At this point, deserves have little to do with it. Thurman is a better than most option.

        Definetly not 60/40, because if he gets paid that or more then Spence would officially be ducking Bud.

          He can't keep fighting in-house rematches fans are not interested in seeing.
          Bear in mind he wants no part of Crawford doe.
          Crawford.

          Spence has always stated his plan: Collect all the belts, then unify with Crawford.

          It's the people that forget about this though. Spence hasn't deviated from that objective yet. So I will hold him to it until he proves otherwise.

          If he proves otherwise, he takes a credibility hit for me. That's why, for me, Thurman is a waste of time.

            We dont know that look at his recent history 2 yrs out, multiple surgery nearly beat by a B grader then a loss to Manny then more surgery and another year out .

            Wake up and smell reality Keith is a shell of his former self and needs to prove himself worthy of a title fight, why is he so long taking another fight maybe another B grade warm up is very risky so hold out and try and talk his way into a big fight, not for me others deserve a title shot way ahead of the current Thurman.

                  His plan which he repeatedly said in countless press cons is to exhaust all available fights for him at PBC.
                  He named names like Garcia, Thurman, Pacquiao, Ugas. Crawford is his last resort which will take years.
                  It doesn't have anything to do with titles. Danny Swift Garcia didn't have a title doe.

                    Mandatory fight.

                    He told Crawford to his face, what he was going to do, on video.

                    He has yet to deviate from "taking the easier belts first".

                    I get it. You just don't like Spence. I can see that any further conversation with you will be fruitless at this point.

                      Anyone that Packy can beat these days is worth s**t, Thurman really did blow his career by losing there. It just takes a while for some fans to catch up with what's real today.
