    According to the PBC they won`t make the fight between Bud and Spence because Bud is not a PPV star, is that just an excuse?

    Champside and Blue Blood Sports TV will now try to desperately spin this and bang on about A-sides and negotiations.

    Spence is ducking, we've known it for like a year now. PBC pretty much confirmed it.

    If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, its probably Spence.

    Who cares? There have been lots of very talented fighters who weren't PPV stars, like Andre Ward.

    Cardi B is a star as well, but I'd pay to see her box maybe Nikki Minaj or Taylor Swift.

    Spence-Crawford wouldn't reach Canelo PPV numbers but who does? They'd all make money on this match, stop the BS and make the fight.

    Ridiculous!

    Crawford vs Spence is the fight to be made at 147 and has been for a number of years :facepalm:

    If Spence won't fight the the other top dog in the division simply because its not a megafight then its a blatant duck. There's really no way around it.

    American fighters are the biggest divas in boxing. It makes it hard to root for most of these guys. Kovalev didn't even get a guaranteed purse when he fought Ward and he had plenty of fanbase.

    Only because Bob Arum has had him in a cage for the last 5+ years

    Spence & Crawford should have got handed over to Pacquiao/Mayweather before they ran...but they just ran off leaving them to fend for themselves. Floyd fighting a stiff like Berto.

    Pacquiao almost gave Spence the key but his eye blew up.

    Funny thing is both Crawford & spence will retire soon! & WW will be wide open.

    Crawford's had multiple PPVs.

    I believe the Crawford-Postol PPV sold 50,000. Crawford-Khan was less than 150,000. Crawford-Porter was 135,000. Take all those combined and Spence-Mikey Garcia alone sold more than that (360,000).

    Top Rank said Crawford wasn't a PPV star. Bob Arum said that for years. Now PBC is saying it. They're the ones staging PPVs.

    (DAZN doesn't have PPVs at the moment.)

    People either buy them or they don't. Are you buying Bud Crawford PPVs? It's weird when fans complain that Crawford doesn't get respect as a PPV star and then when he fights on PPV the same fans steal a stream to watch it because they don't want to buy it either.

    Maybe Crawford should fight on the undercard of a Rap Battle on Triller?

    If ESjr fights guys who are on the level of TC in terms of exposure, then it's an obvious duck. ESjr has to be a freakin idiot for that type of statement to be made. Hey kettle...you're black!

    Spence has always said he'd like to clean out the division. What are you complaining about? If he beats Ugas, then he has the chance to secure that dream against Crawford.
