PBC is making good use of the ppv market that was abandoned by top rank and golden boy, while also giving great fights on free TV. Hail Al Haymon #TABLESturn.

My new stance is Crawford doesn’t want the Spence fight. No callout, the Rogan interview, his unwillingness to go to Fox for the fight. Not even showing up to Spence fight. He’s cool fighting bums and making good money on ESPN until his contract is over.

Yes Action speaks louder than words.
Nothing in his actions says he wants to fight the high quality welterweights that pbc could provide.
I guess being called the best is just as good as actually being it,to him

Spence literally said on his post fight presser that he is not worried about Crawford now talking about PPV numbers and shyt like a promoter while he knows damn well that's the fight the fans want and you find Crawford with this? Why wouldn't he want Spence just off of his more vulnerable showing yet? He called him out multiple times before but he doesn't want him now? Neither one of them wants to appear in a B side role a fighter who always namedrops and desperately chases a fight with a bigger name, both of these dudes think about themselves as the man of the hour. That might be problematic but eventually they gonna fight if they don't lose first as it usually happens in boxing. PBC and ESPN about to work together for Fury vs Wilder 2, I don't see no reason why a co PPV can't happen between them in late 2020 or 2021.
You don't have to be a particularly good judge of character to see both of these guys are dogs and would fight anyone. They might talk unnecessary shyt first which is annoying but it's been like this for a while.

I think these pbc fights are harder then ever to predict in this era. These guys are so inactive, that damn near any fight is a toss up.

It's great that pbc allows these guys to properly heal, yet remain household names, get nice purses and great business tips from Al himself. Which results in great lifestyles for these young brothers of varying races and ethnic backgrounds. This guy Al is doing the lord's work, isn't he?

I agree, but I think they can squeeze another fight in their yearly schedule and heal properly.

"like a promoter"?
Are you trying to insinuate that MAN DOWN PROMOTIONS isn't in full effect?
Anyway, i feel Spence and Al's frustration with Crawford. All that bark while hiding being Arum whom has been nothing but trouble for Al, from day 1.
From trying to prevent Mayweather Pacquiao to throwing a monkey wrench in Wilder FURY II. These guys play too many games.

Of course he would fight him, but he doesn’t want the fight enough right now. If he did he would be okay with doing a Fox PPV

 

[Bigblackted4]

In all honesty there’s nothing he can do at this point. He would of had to sign with PBC.

Im willing to bet after Spence/Garcia, PBC will be looking to make Spence/Thurman, depending on Keith’s health of course.

As far as Manny, he has various options at PBC, which is why he went there in the first place.

These guys are just trying to put fights together that can be on PPV. It would be great if another unification happens, but that really isn’t their priority.

I think he should just tell Arum he wants the fight no matter what. Why waste your career with meaningless fights, if he wanted it that bad he should say I’ll fight on Fox and if I win rematch on ESPN

I agree but I think neither one wants it "enough" or "urgent enough" not just Bud. Spence has better options I see that but he, Bud, Arum, Haymon, everyone who knows shyt about boxing knows what is the most wanted fight at 147. Both sides can bs about it all they want. And it ain't Spence vs Pac (although I'd be curious of that too).

I'm guessing they will try to build this up as a final showdown at 147. Spence (hopefully) is just 2-3 fight away from that now and if he fights in January next we could get Spence vs Crawford by early 2021 or so. Also depending on whether they can make the Pac fight or not. I can see Pac's team being a little more open about a Spence fight after Spence vs Porter though.

Crawford/EJ Fight isn’t happening until/unless Spence gets the WBA Belt

 

[malbaker86]

Yeah

I believe this is a 60/40 fight favoring Spence. I just think Danny is a tier below Spence/Thurman/Porter, but he can prove me wrong here. It’s not like a win is far fetched, shyt its a PBC fight.

Despite Crawford’s lackluster ass resume, I completely get why people believe he’s the best at WW. His style against the likes of Horn, Benavidez, and Khan is more conducive to creating clear/dominant wins against other top tier fighters.

If I’m Crawford though, I go to TR and demand a PBC WW. None of his fights get this type of attention.

fixed it for ya

 

[malbaker86]

Crawford/EJ Fight isn’t happening until/unless Spence gets the WBA Belt

and by then he'll probably move up to 154.

 

[LauderdaleBoss]

We just seen a FOTY between Spence n Porter and nikkas is talking about Crawford like he ain't just plug up his controller for career mode again.

That nikka getting the bag and P4P billing for minimum work. He not worried about Spence, Swift, Thurman none of them nikkas. Retire undefeated and nikkas will say he a HOF n ATG talent anyway, even though his resume is average as fukk.
