    Haymon doesn’t want the fight and Spence has to do as he is told

    No one is crying ***** just stating facts. Wilder has done some big big numbers in his time Crawford who I respect as a fighter has not. You are entitled to your own opinions not alternative facts and lies.

    Big big numbers with Tyson Fury! Anyways...just fight! Lomachenko, Golovkin, Prograis....those guys don't sell PPVs. Who cares? They can still beat the dog crap out of just about every princess crying about A side, B side.

    Ok. If you are Crawford would you have taken the Spence offer from PBC?

    They will with the right opponents which is why he needs to fight Spence instead of David Avenesyan. When you say just fight you clearly don’t understand professional boxing. As Larry Holmes said “I can do it but I can’t do it for free”.

    Yes I would as it would have netted upwards of $15 Million -$20 Million for him.. Spence would have earned even more but at the end of the both would be rich mother****ers.

    and the fact that it was such a disappointment showed that it was years too late.

    I am not sure I agree with you. I hope the fight happens but Crawford was getting shafted massively. Zero guarantee, no line of sight of how the financials are calculated. The split was a non issue, he doesn’t deserve parity.

    That is not true because both side had full audit rights. Crawford was looking for a way out because he did not want the fight.

    You are right. Fight should have happened right after Pac beat Cotto.

    I just don't get it. Like what's your reasoning for referencing the amount of likes someone has?

    It just screams of teenage girl vibes obsessed with social media.

    Says someone who has more likes than posts which suggests you only post things you know will be liked and don't share your real opinions or you are some alt and your main account is the source of most of your likes. I suspect the latter considering your post average is less than one post a day.
