Crawford vs Errol Spence is NOT a super mega fight

Yeah, this is like a lesser version of Ward/Kovalev, which was at least two guys with big reputations among casual boxing fans. Crawford and Spence are nobodies. It's a hardcore fan's dream, but wouldn't sell anything like a mega fight.

Even GGG v Canelo is still more of a fans fight than casuals really. It had a bit of crossover but not much. Neither are notable figures in worldwide popular culture like Floyd or McGregor or people like that. Canelo might be among Mexicans, but that's it.
It's very hard to get to that level where your involved in super fights that attract the average man on the street. It takes a lot of ingredients to make that happen, so it very very rarely does.

No, just no. I hate to say it, but Crawford is better than the older flat-footed ward. And I think Kovalev has a much better jab than Spence and better combos than Spence

Originally posted by uppercut510 View Postwho needs to promote themselves? this is a sport, entertainment is good but its good to also see fighters who just simply want to fight and take their craft serious, ggg does nothing to promote himself, neither does canelo or pac man and everyone loves them not sure why it must be different for these fighters.
Andre Ward did boxing commentary on HBO and Fox Sports, had the Jordan brand promo going, was seen at Warriors games, etc.
