Why was is it easier to make Fury vs Wilder than it is to make Spence vs Crawford?

    Explain????? When it comes to popularity, it seems as though both Spence and Crawford are much more known with better resumes than both.

    Tyson Fury is a born and bred fighting man and a smart business man.

    Crawford has been Arums lap dog for years & Spence has been crashing Lamborghini's. Crawford was always going to wait this bout out as it favours him the longer he waits. I'm surprised spence can still make 147, could be hit and miss though making weight is still a blackart when you're that close to the edge and need to perform to the highest level the next day.

    The moment Wilder took the Fury bait they were legally married for 3 bouts.

    There was great anticipation surrounding Wilder vs Fury II thanks to the first fight.

    The return on investment was sure. As a reminder, the fight made 1.2 million PPV which is huge for a 2020 PPV. It's probably the equivalent of at least 2 million in 2010.

    I'd consider myself a boxing fan and I don't care if they ever fight, there gets a point where it's been dragged out too long.

    You can compare with all post MayPac PPVs. 1.2 million in recent years is huge. I believe that if we exclude the Canelo vs Golovkin (other highly anticipated fights) none did as well. PS: I consider MayMac as a show and not a boxing match.
