    Tank and Garcia were 2 fighters undefeated, in their prime and very popular too. Spence is damaged goods after being rag dolled in car crashes, and grandpa Bud turns 36 this year and is relatively unknown to casuals.

    Ryan Garcia was not perfect either. He went through a range of mental health issues that contributed to his absence from the sport.

    Imagine how much better this site would be, with registration screening.

    You are right. The PPV buys will dwarf the amount Spence Crawford does. Casuals don't care about Spence Crawford.

    Wow I thought OP would be making reasonable point about hype. But to argue it is actually a bigger fight is a bit of a stretch.

    Obviously. 'Race fights' are boxing's biggest draw. Always have been, always will be

    I don’t think that’s why this fight was popular.

    What effects have you seen Spence suffer from the car accident? How is he different after the wreck compared to prior? Give examples.

    Tank v Garcia was bigger than this. I know a lot of people that were interested and talking about that fight. Those same people have no idea this fight is happening and most only know who Crawford is, I'm guessing because of ESPN.

    Nah....it was not bigger than Spence vs Crawford. Garcia was not even the world champion when he fought Tank. Spence vs Crawford is the Unified Welterweight World Champion bout.
