    What do Crawford's PPV numbers against Khan have to do with them fighting? Its obvious Crawford - Spence is a massive fight that will do good numbers. As Spence said, he wants none of Terrence Bud Crawford right now.

    Indeed. He comes up with a new excuse every other week. One of the most shameless ducks of recent years.

    Spence only wants to fight littler guys. You all should know that by now.
    He wants Littler Pacman next, Not that he can win against the 8 Division Champ :campeon::campeon::campeon::campeon::campeon::campeon::campeon::campeon:

    Ideally, it should be Crawford who fight Pacquiao next.

    The winner of this fight will hold WBA-WBO title and will face Spence in equal manner.

    It’s not a duck when arum uses the same exact excuse to duck fighters completely for years and Crawford and company think the split should be 50/50 which it shouldn’t should be 65/35 due to belts and PPV sales. But that if you’re being logical. Let’s be honest CRAWFORD has no one too fight he needs Errol more than Errol needs him. Danny isn’t gonna fight Crawford, Porter and Thurman are at the end of the careers let’s be honest Thurman will realistically fight 2-3 times maybe 4. Same for Porter they both got the gig announcing at fights. Crawford is an idiot is was plain as day Arum has no WW. He should have done fight by fight basis if he wanted too be loyal. Now he’s going to get to follow down the road of Pac-Man and Tim Bradley we missed good Bradley fights and Pac-Man because Arum wont deal with PBC. Unless he gets to control the event or the money is astronomical or it’s a nobody fighter. Crawford is a Decent money maker for Arum he’s not gonna be on the chopping block for PBC fighters till atleast 2021

    Both of these guys need one another. Two undefeated WW's in their primes both with titles... How the f*ck is this not a priority. How anyone is taking sides in this when it's clear as f*ckin day both are to blame, is mind boggling. The ONLY thing that will allow TC v ESjr to NOT happen next is if Pac is in there with one of them.

    But regards to this tweet, ESjr needs to cut that crap. Just be a f*ckin fighter FFS...

    What an embarrassing statement since neither guys are PPV tackle as the PPV thing died off with Floyd imo.
    He's reeling off the same excuses that Thurman did 're Spence.Those two need each other as the division does.

    65/35 cause he has one more belt, which he just won?

    Crawford is P4P #1, three division champion and undisputed at 140.

    Spence ain't ducking no Crawford. Spence is making a power move by collecting WBC and now trying to get that WBA off of Pac. Having the IBF, WBC and the WBA will give him negotiation advantage. Beside, Crawford has a fight in December, which makes it impossible to fight Crawford because he returning in early January and late February. So that fight will be even Pac, Garcia or rematch with Porter. He's already said before him and Crawford fight most likely will be late 2020.

    This is true. That's why Spence is after Pac's belt. It was the WBA belt that Spence is actually after, not the veteran holder. Having three belts will give him real edge in negotiating with Crawford.

    However, it also increases the possibility that the fight between both of them might not happen. If Haymon can play hard-to-get, so does Arum.

    Undisputed means jack **** if your competition sucks. Seriously who the **** cares, "oh my god I made history being undisputed", wasn't Zab Judah an undispusted champ ffs. You make history by beating the best. Same reason I'm baffled by Loma trying to make history by becoming undisputed at 135 a dog **** division. If you want to be known as an ATG opposition always trumps ****ing trinkets.

    Canelo's resume absolutely shits on Crawford and Loma's subpar resume combined, I could care less if Canelo ever became undisputed.

    This is 147 not 140

    They are fighting for 147 pound belts not 140
