[Boxing] Crawford vs Spence

[Russlenat]

But to get the date of when they will fight - the purse split matters to their respective promoters.
In some cases, the boxers themselves want to fight as soon as possible.
But the delays originate from their promoters, who are not in agreement with their split.
And yes, Crawford vs Spence Jr, this will definitely happen, only the date is yet to be determined.
They will rake huge money, but getting the 4 world titles would be the best to get from this event.

Not in rush as I think whether it's not organized yet or not, the possible date will still be in October or November.

The purse split is really an important matter to discuss but I think they are close on the deal. Maybe there are other issues that need to be addressed and not just the purse split like location, venue, and any others.

But one thing is for sure, we can expect this fight this year. I don't see any reason why it should not happen.

As much as they want to fight each other the soonest time, they really have to negotiate first specially the magnitude of this fight. And then we have the ego of this two in equation, but maybe Crawford will give in to the 60/40 split just to make this fight happen. I think the location can be settled in as usually the venue have been reserved by major promoters and networks, it's who is going to fight on that said date.

This fight is going to happen this year no doubt about it. We will just have to wait for the announcement and then press conference will kick off and we can see the trash talking start.

I think they are already past in their negotiations of purse cuts because Spence already openly said in the public that he should have the bigger slice and that means no lower than 60% purse cut while Crawford will really take the remaining 40% cut of the purse because he's been calling this fight for long and this is the closest thing he's been into against Spence and he surely knows that he can't afford to get this undisputed match for long because he will be a year inactive soon.

If they want to settle the fight in October then they should announce it no later than mid of July because they still have to prepare for that fight.

A lot of rumors spreading in the boxing world that these two will fight this October. Hopefully it is true.

Well since the rumored fight date is Oct, 29th 2022 let's wait till Floyd Mayweather gives a date other than this one. \

What does Mayweather have to do with this fight? Sorry, I don't follow, is he one of the promoters of this fight?

I also believe that Crawford will win this fight, there's no way the fight will end on the judges' scorecards, one should be KO here or TKO.

I tried to search for some related news involving Floyd Mayweather Jr. and his connection to the anticipated fight between Terence Crawford and Spence Jr.

What I found is here: Mayweather: When Spence-Crawford is Done You Will Hear It From Me! Established June 14, 2022

There's no mention of anything about the involvement of Mayweather Jr. rather than he just wants to promote the fight. I don't know what does Mayweather have to do with the fight and it looks like he has an intel tracking the negotiation behind the scene.

If they want to settle the fight in October then they should announce it no later than mid of July because they still have to prepare for that fight.

They should announce it for better preparation and for the fans to get engaged with the possible upcoming fight,

Unless they are planning for another alternative to promote the fight, access like social media and more hypes while still in
the process, and this kind of writeups and temporary delayed of the final announcement can also be used to engage people's
interest, but I agree that July might be the best time to announce the realization of this possible upcoming fight to announce.

Thanks for the article, I read it and it seemed like Crawford might sign with Mayweather's promotion.

This is from the article you shared.

Mayweather has made it known in the past that he would like to promote Crawford who is a promotional free agent.  Those prior comments combined with Mayweather's comments led to the next question being if a promotional deal with the three-division champion is imminent.

He was very confident like he know some important information about the fight, so we can assume that he could be part of the promotion.

Crawford needs little to no time to train, he has a good turn around time.  Unsure of spences short announced fights but Crawford doesn't get fazed by them.  Honestly the 2 of them are probably training right now is if they are going to fight so I think am anniuncent would just be an admin note more than theor starting line.

Well, that's the best case scenario because I really don't think he would brag such thing that we will know if the negotiations is finish if he is not well connected to Crawford to promote the said fight. So, I guess Eddie Hearn of DAZN didn't got the chance to promote this fight because Mayweather is already on the scene with Crawford.

Still, they should finalize some things sooner too so that the fans will know that these two are really going to share a ring somewhere in October. And about Crawford, he will get inactive for a year sooner in I think October or November so he needs that time to train and not just because he's up to that challenge, he surely knows that Spence is not an easier opponent and this match they are talking is about being an undisputed boxer and not just an ordinary show.

This kind of high athletes are very active though even if they are not fighting. And by the looks of it, Crawford has the discipline that's why he reach this level of greatness. And so with Spence, when he fought Porter he was out for a long time, and then Ugas. But it didn't show any ring rust. So I don't think it will have a big effect if this two are not going to be active for at least a year like Crawford.

[Kemarit]

A lot of rumors spreading in the boxing world that these two will fight this October. Hopefully it is true. Crawford should not tolerate Spence avoiding and prolonging this fight because he is already 35. His age is actually ripe and ready to be taken out anytime. Only casuals in boxing won't see how Spence team is trying to play the waiting game ever since. Crawford in October is like inactive for nearly a year and that's another disadvantage. Maybe he should threaten PBC that if the fight with Spence still won't happen this year then he signs with DAZN and activate his option as WBO mandatory on undisputed champion Jermell Charlo. That will force a possible purse bid that is so winnable by the richer DAZN.

And Canelo just said that Bud is the better fighter. But time is really not on Bud's side. Time flies so fast, Crawford is now joining these old but great fighters Usyk, Beterbiev and GGG.

I hope Spence really does have some plans on fighting against Crawford this year because he can't just give us a ride for nothing and Crawford should have another option to force Spence because he's really seems having Crawford in a waiting game to give himself more advantage, he surely knows to himself that Crawford is really a threat to his record.

Personally, I think this fight is going to happen as speculate, in October this year. There is so much as stake in this fight, a unification, both undefeated and pound for pound worthy. Again, maybe some thing are just being cleared in the contract before anyone sign it specially Crawford. Both are a threat to each other and there is just one man that could be the top of the welterweight division and this fight is going to decide it.

[LUCKMCFLY]

So this is going to be his biggest pay, if my theory is right. So probably guarantee of upward to $8 million, and Spence around $10 million.

Agree with you. Since there is no doubt, that this will be Terence Crawford's biggest fight in his career, expect that this is also the biggest paycheck he might receive regardless of the result. Errol Spence Jr. is considered as the King of PPV and will surely grab more audiences making the purse big.

If I remember it right, back then, when Crawford was offered to fight Pacquiao, a guaranteed $10 million is being offered to him, win or loss. It stated that amount will be the highest paycheck that Crawford will receive in his entire boxing career. Just correct me if I'm wrong here.

Here against Spence, he might earn more than that even the purse split will be 60/40 in favor of Spence Jr.

That's what I call a big haul, for Crawford it's the opportunity to show a lot in this fight, it's clear that Spence has a huge advantage against him, it's understandable, the numbers give a lot of information, and given that the statistics in boxing they are a great tool for bettors, it is something that is not in doubt, however it would be interesting to see if Crawford makes history here, for Spence I see this fight as an incentive with an air of pressure, he knows that he should not lose, here Both boxers will play it all, this fight for me will be the best of the year, against all odds I admire these boxers a lot, they have a very exquisite technique and apart from that both are very intelligent in the fight.

The way I see it, I don't see Spence having a huge advantage over Crawford. Both are on their prime years, they are undefeated and champions, maybe Spence has more belts but in terms of advantage, I think they are just even.

Yes, the physical trainings are intact even they are not fighting. Drills and exhibitions are always active for this

kind of title holder champ, they can't afford to relax and just do the preparation when the schedule is available, more on
their attitude and how they are doing extra activities to make sure that they are fit once the fight already has an exact date.
Champ always takes pride in defending their title.

Agree with that, both have the same capabilities. Once an open opportunity come up during the fight, we can't conclude

since they are still in the process of talk regarding to this possible upcoming fight, though from all those replays that are available

we can compare if who's fighter might have that advantage. Fans are waiting. They are all excited to see if who's going to win

or also, there're possibilities that it can end up with a draw. We never know, right?

It seems like they're preparing a lot for this match. I'm sure that we could see a promising fight. Honestly, it's hard to conclude whether who is stronger or who will win because both of them are strong fighters. Win or lose will be another milestone for them to prove themselves in the ring. This is just another exciting match.

[yazher]

I hope Spence really does have some plans on fighting against Crawford this year because he can't just give us a ride for nothing and Crawford should have another option to force Spence because he's really seems having Crawford in a waiting game to give himself more advantage, he surely knows to himself that Crawford is really a threat to his record.

They really need to fight and show against each other who is the best of all time because these guys are in the same era and there's no doubt that they are eager to fight each other and to prove to the whole world who is the current best fighter. They don't need to delay this fight until one of them gets old since these two are not avoiding each other. The only problem here is the money and the promoters, if only they can completely agree on one term, we will gonna see one of the fights of the century in boxing history.

This will be the best fight ever, and they are both great boxers with great speed and great defense.
and neither of them are showing any signs of stopping, although Crawford has been tested before and we haven't seen how Spence performs when he's injured, but
both seem to have the same mentality.
I like both fighters, but I lean more towards Bud Crawford.

About that, I will lean a bit for Crawford even if he's much older than Spence but both of them are still on their prime and experience will say it all as that will be the boxer's advantage to have an advanced IQ in the ring. That said, Spence can still be dangerous as ever and Crawford knows that but I will still settle for Crawford on this match. I really hope this fight will happen, I feel that these boxers are just taking us a for a ride.

[Russlenat]

I think they are already past in their negotiations of purse cuts because Spence already openly said in the public that he should have the bigger slice and that means no lower than 60% purse cut while Crawford will really take the remaining 40% cut of the purse because he's been calling this fight for long and this is the closest thing he's been into against Spence and he surely knows that he can't afford to get this undisputed match for long because he will be a year inactive soon.

If they want to settle the fight in October then they should announce it no later than mid of July because they still have to prepare for that fight.

interest, but I agree that July might be the best time to announce the realization of this possible upcoming fight to announce.

I couldn't agree more! Even if Crawford and Spence are sure that the fight will happen in October (expected month) and they might already preparing for the fight. They should tell and announce it to the fans and the whole boxing industry that they will indeed having a fight in October so that the fans won't just expect for nothing. Having it announced much early will also be a help to promote and sell the fight, so I hope that they will really announce it this mid of July or earlier than that if possible.

And now we are demanding that they need to announce it right away? That's not how it works guys. Even if they have to announce it a month before the fight, it's on them. Promoting the fight is not even a problem. Promoters are handling a fight for a long and they know what to do in that business compared to us.

Does anyone really think they will hold a fight with a lack of time to promote it? Just relax and no need to demand an official announcement right away.

If the fans expect the fight in October, who else is to blame for that where in fact there is no official announcement yet? Why that expectation by the fans should be granted by the promoters of this fight if, in the first place, it might not be the date of the fight?

[harizen]

To prevent expectations, don't believe for now that it would happen in October so you won't get disappointed if that's not what happened. We just have to wait patiently for the official announcement as that will erase all the speculations. Adjust your expectations to a minimum of October until the 1st quarter of 2023. What matter here is, that this fight is not like any anticipated match that has several obstacles. We didn't see yet and major problems why this fight should not happen this year.

For let's say the fight will be in October, announcing it this July or August shouldn't be a problem. There's also no problem with promoting the fight as I'm sure, right away after the official announcement, expect sold-out tickets within a week including PPV globally. Spence is the King of PPV regardless of his opponent. What's more against the top boxer too, Terence Crawford.
