While Crawford v Spence is gaining little traction Youtubers are flying high in the sport

Spence vs Crawford would gain traction if people actually believed it might happen.

YouTube fights are a completely different audience. They shouldn't even be mentioned as a measuring stick of whats capable.

 

In my opinion Spence vs Crawford has cooked so long the soup has mostly evaporated. I personally have more interest in seeing both fight Ennis instead of each other. Fight the young Lion.

Set up a Welter WBSS or something. Spence, Crawford, Ugas,Thurman, Ennis, Ortiz, Butaev, Stanionis.

Crawford vs Butaev
Ugas vs Ortiz
Ennis vs Thurman

 

I remember years ago a lot of younger newbie fans wanted boxing to be more like WWE. They got their wish.

 

Money.

 

It's all to do with promoters and networks

 

Spence may leave soon if he unifies. The young guns should have it to usher in a new WW era. Thurman will be picky about who he fights.

 

I'm legitimately more interested in the next Paul fight more than Charlo, Spence, you name it.

These are all 10-1 fights, they are won and lost before they are ever fought. Who gives a **** ?

Spence isn't fighting Crawford and Jermall will fight another absolute no-hoper.

 

The problem with Spence vs Crawford is that the fight always has been worth more competitively than it is financially. And the gap between those realities is too wide to bridge.

The fight won’t happen unless the parties lower their financial demands. Which will happen eventually, but by then it will be a Brook vs Kahn situation.

It’s very difficult to make a big fight between two black American fighters. The interest just isn’t there unless one of them has a huge built in following like Mayweather. But neither Spence nor Crawford is very charismatic.

Andre Ward had the same problem. And his fight against Chad Dawson had no buzz. But he did a lot better against Kov because the fight had a different hook.
