How are some of you slow ass nikkas still not understanding PBC is trying to have Spence have 3 belts, and thus a bigger profile, to tilt the negotiations in his favor when it comes time to make the Crawford fight for undisputed. Do y'all need them to put out a press release for some of y'all to get it? If Arum had all the WWs and all Haymon had was Spence the same shyt would be playing out on the other side. Arum wouldn't even say Haymon's name if the shoe was on the other foot.

I know I said I wasn't going to order this fight, but I ended breaking down to get it.

What haymon really meant was "you ain't ready for crawford" yet. Haymon wants to let Spence get some more experience under his belt first. I'm shocked to see Spence is only getting 2 mil for this fight. That shyt is ridiculous. Crawford made 5.5 million minimum for the khan fight. For a fight of this magnitude, spence should be getting no less than 5 mil guaranteed. Seems like all the PBC guys max out around 2 mil


Yea $2 million seem low as shyt for a PPV. Especially since you'd assume Spence is the clear A side here.
Recently Spence said that Top Rank offered him a bigger bag than PBC (or whoever his official promoter is) but Al Haymon talked him out of it with the argument it's about the long term and Haymon would set him up for retirement
Have no idea why he couldn't just do both, sign to Top Rank for more money AND have Haymon set him up for retirement. Sounds dumb to me. We saw how Al talked Broner out of that $40 million rocnation bag and that turned into a L ultimately
keep telling ppl to be patient on this Haymon stuff, it takes years to figure out if someone is ripping ppl off or not. It's cool he got the Stevensons of the world $1 million bouts for fighting bums but how much is he making on the backend when he keeps getting money from investors and networks off these dudes work

Pretty much all the major players in PBC have not so discreetly told us that the reported purse figures are bs but y'all still believe those reported figures anyway...

I ordered the fight gonna be watching on my phone at work though so I aint gone be able to post. I'm riding with Spence(KO) and Benavidez(Decision) in the main events.

Not gonna lie y'all know I'm a Spence fan, but he said explicitly this time he gonna knock Porter out. So if he don't stop Porter I'm gonna be disappointed; as a man you can't be promising shyt you can't deliver. I believe he will though because everytime Spence done needed to step up so far he has so we'll see.
