Originally posted by CLUE View PostNo he won't, that has been being said since he turned pro. Guess what? Still at 147. Still on weight weeks before a fight, and just came in at 156 on fight night. He will continue making weight as long as he wants to.

Did you see Spence tonight? All the talent in the world, but little personality. Same for Bud. They're not PPV guys and never will be.
Spence-Crawford for all the titles, undisputed, would sell 300-400k tops.

This fight isn’t going to build itself. Right now with Spence fighting nobodies in forgettable matches and Crawford destined to do the same , even worse, on ESPN+, this fight won’t happen while these guys are even near prime. Fk off Bob!

The issue is not their personality its lack of promotional push, if ufc promoter Dana White had crawford and spence they would be stars right now. Old boxing promoters like arum and haymon dont know how to market on the internet, that is dana whites speciality, look at his youtube ufc channel its massive, dana white uses social media to make conor and ronda big

Originally posted by paulf View PostYou're right, I am. I just looked it up and Ward Kovalev sold 130k in the rematch. I don't think it does that poorly, but 200k is probably the ceiling.
If you look at Miguel Cotto, a true star in the sport, his PPV with Martinez only did 350k.
500k for Spence and Crawford? Not happening. Mayweather and Pacquiao were superstars, Spence and Crawford are just boxers.Last edited by _original_; 06-17-2018, 12:23 PM.

Roy Jones fought his last fight on UFC fightpass and it attracted the same amount of interest as it would have if it was on cable: virtually none.
