    Nothing really. I'd be more than okay if it never happened.

      If neither were Americans then the fight would have happened, if none of the boxers were affiliated with PBC then the fight would probably had happened, if Arum wasn’t involved then this fight would probably have been easily made. If if if....

          Or when it's worth $100 million?
          Who TF do these people think they are? Pac and May?

          Which current fighters are comparable to these clowns?

          It's marinated more than long enough.

          A real mega fight (like Floyd-Pac) would benefit from marination, but a fight like Spence vs. Bud not happening soon will just have people lose interest. Spence is a bigger draw but neither guy is even close to being a superstar.

          If it doesn't happen this year, then I'm just not gonna really care anymore. I'll just hope they both lose so we can finally get a top dog at 147.

          These guys are not Floyd-Pac. These guys aren't even Canelo-GGG.

            Simple - Spence is the biggest superstar in boxing, he's the best welterweight in the world, and one of the most feared boxers in the world. Terrence Crawford is the undisputed pound for pound king of boxing, he is a 3 weight division champ, and was the undisputed champion of 140 pounds. Fights like this are rare in boxing and we should all want it to happen. The winner is boxings king.

                I hate the notion that May/Pac was marinated for it to do big PPV numbers, it wasn't, both camps truly didn't like each other, the fight was always going to do big numbers and whose to say when they both were doing over a million buys a fight in their primes without Manny getting ktfo that it wasn't going to be a record breaking PPV fight. The marinating bs is a myth

                  The fight probably isn’t going to happen due to Spence can barely make weight. Well, that’s probably the plan. He’s really a 154 fighter.
                  Better be made like in the next 4 months or he will move on as he should.

It is a special fight because Crawford and Spence are special champions and two of the best welterweights fighting today. If you don't think they are special fighters then the fight is not special to you. It is a fight I want to see very much.
                    They really aren’t special though. They are just hyped to be.

                      It doesn't have to be marinated. Crawford has to realize he's pricing himself out of the fight. If he wants a legacy fight, instead of a cash out, he'll be more reasonable with his demands. If not then Spence will continue to run up PPV & gate numbers to the point where asking for 70/30 will be a price out
