    1) The first fight was such a wipeout without even a glimmer of Spence offering any resistance it's hard to imagine many paying another $90. Crawford probably has higher paying options. A rematch would do maybe what...just under half of the first fight?

    2) Spence getting waxed in the first fight has hurt his legacy. If he goes up to 154 and loses again (high probability) his legacy and marketability take massive hits. Obviously he will be more competitive, but how much? Crawford gains nothing from a win here. People will still blame the car accident.

    It's probably best Crawford demands the fight is at 147, effectively ending negotiations and then Crawford can fight either Charlo or Canelo and Spence can fight Keith at 154 next year. If they do rematch I won't be watching it live. I'd be ok knowing the result before watching that one.

    No unless Spence wins which appears to be very unlikely.

    Neither but Spence may have a better chance at 154.

    It benefits their bank balances, that’s about it. Spence will obviously want to redeem himself and restore his pride but he’s likely to take another beating unfortunately, Crawford is levels above him.

    I don’t think the fight is necessary. There are better fights to be made at this point.

    Easy money for Crawford, he can shut some people’s mouths about the weight drained excuse(obviously trolls will troll) and would be an easy tune-up for him there before fighting for a 154lbs title.

    So I guess it sort of benefits Crawford.

    No it's a complete waste of everyone's time and of Spences health and wellbeing.

    One of the most pointless rematches of all time if it happens, which I have a hard time believing it will happen.

    Not an immediate rematch, no it doesn't.

    If they both go up to say JMW, manage to not lose and grab some belts then rematch, that would be huge
