Stfu! Have you seen the crowds for Spence? Or even tank? They get plenty of support but no one is going to buy that trash.
I am a Crawford fan and did not buy the event. Why? Because it was not a PPV worthy fight. Fans need to do this more often. Speak with our pocket books, by not buying weak events. If fighters know that PPV is off the table, along with the big payday for fighting weak opponents, better quality fights will happen. Boxing fans have awaken and the sport of boxing will be better for it.
The media barely covers boxing anymore and American boxers barely get endorsements. It hurts thier marketability. You can't become a star like that
What did they expect? They didn't even promote the f*cking this properly. You can literally make documentary quality videos on an iPhone 12 Pro Max these days with some decent equipment and a MacBook Pro with the correct software. Get an out-of-work film maker and come up with a decent sequence and upload it to Youtube. Full production for less than a few grand. Then just keep plugging it on social media and on forums. How hard is that? How utterly moronic do you have to be to not get that right at least? Crawford is now firmly the B-side against Spence and will have to take the short money. It reminds me of Dragon's Den - great product but utterly useless marketing and grandiose sense of self worth and entitlement. This is Crawford all over. He will have to beat Spence and beat him again in a rematch if he wants to make any decent money.
The stream never broke because no one watched it. You could have watched it on 8K and it would have still streamed beautifully
Haymon makes more money by making the fight happen than not making it happen and if paying Crawford a little more than he's worth makes Haymon money than thats business.
This is why it makes me laugh when people say Spence is ducking Crawford. The reason why that fight will never happen is because Crawford has an over-inflated view of his (lack of) drawing power: he’s a fighter that only hardcores have heard of. Casuals simply don’t know / don’t care about Crawford. But he’s too arrogant and/or too delusional to take a smaller split against Spence.
Spence and Crawford both priced themselves out a long time ago. They think they are this eras Pacquiao vs Mayweather and I’m sorry it was never there to begin with.
