Crawford is trying to cash out and I don't blame him. Canelo beats Crawford to death. He struggled with the power of Madrimov, what the fukk is he going to do with Canelo 2 weight classes higher than that???? On top of that, he doesn't have the power to get Canelo's respect. If he really wants this check, I say give it to him and let him get his ass beat for it.

I saw Errol posted on is story 154-160.

He needs to skip 154 and gun for Adames and Lara at 160. Thats 2 PBC fights + isn't Jannibek rumored to be on a PBC card soon?
Spence at this point in his career can't beat Zhanibek or Adames. They stop him easier than Crawford did. We just saw Danny Garcia, a guy that had never been seriously hurt or dropped, get dropped and quit by an OLD Lara who is well past his prime and never known as a puncher. I'm hoping these fights happen and Spence is the favorite. I'm gonna make a lot betting against him.

Spence beat Dannys ass though. And everyone close to the Spence Camp said dude had altitude sickness + a bad weight cut which you could say is the icing on the cake to the life style choices he made before. The concern now is with his inactivity we have know way of knowing if the Bud fight was a bad style match up plus off night or if the nikka is done. Dude was literally terminator before Bud and JAnnibek and Adamas are much "simpler" styles.

Love what His Excellency has done for boxing so far. But anyone foolish enough to think this would last and spread was, well, foolish. Boxing only makes money in certain markets. Saudi ain't it for various reasons (distance, climate and lack of natural beaches/strict religious practices). Casino's and places with beaches/bytches make the money.

Remember how the UFC got them to back a lot of their fights during covid (and fighters flying first-class)?

The money will only stretch if they can make some sort of money back; the bilions become millions at that burn rate

correction, he was a terminator before the accident. Bud was the icing on the cake. When I saw him get hurt badly by Ugas(another guy not known as a puncher), I was amazed at his fanbase thinking he would walk through Crawford. If his fight with Crawford would have happened 4 or 5 years primor, I had Spence winning, after the accident and years of letting Crawford grow into the division, I picked Crawford(I was on youtube boxing panels saying this). Just like trinidad. He got Reid and Vargas YOUNG. They were only 3 and 4 years into their career and they gave him all he could handle dropping and hurting him badly. Had he fought Vargas around 2003(obviously not fighting Hopkins as well), I say Vargas beats him. Tito beat Vargas' career out of him that night because the next fight, he was dropped by Rivera. The point is, Spence bullshytted and years of bad weight cuts, drinking, with an accident just set himself up for failure.

His Excellency still has three cards with quality headlining matches coming up this year. That's more than the other promoters are independently offering....combined.
One of those headliners will be free and another one discounted PPV price.

If it fails long term it fails, I'm just enjoying it while it lasts. Pretty much PBC, Dazn, and TR on ESPN have all essentially failed based on what they promised initially so would just continue the trend I guess. But hoping it fails is wild, the way the budgets looking out here and the networks/platforms investing less and less into boxing shyt might get dark in the sport if Turk suddenly falls back
