Eddie Hearn: Crawford's Ego Is Causing The Spence Fight Not To Happen

[Combat Talk Radio]

“With Terence, even on your show, he said, ‘Even at 50-50, I wouldn’t take it,'” Hearn said about Crawford, saying a 50-50 split wouldn’t work for Spence fight.

“I’m like, ‘What?’ It goes back to, it’s all ego, isn’t it? Let me give you a situation.

“I would say, how much money is in that fight? I don’t know. Call it $30 million for that fight. So Terence isn’t happy with 15 [million] each.

“So it gets to the point where once you’re getting what you’re happy with and you think you’re going to win, and this is the fight that’s going to turn you into a superstar, this is going to turn you into a Hall of Famer, do you really care if the guy is getting a couple of million more than you?

...

“And the first question, not ‘Oh my God, oh my lord, thank you so much.’

It's ‘What’s he getting?’

You know, right? That’s the first question, and by the way, if he’s getting 110, the fights off.

“That’s what we’re talking about here, and that’s when you need a good arm around you, a good voice in your ear, a voice of reason, a voice of sense.

Crawford is no draw and has the worst major belt. But the clown thinks he deserved 50/50 then 60/40 his way for a Spence fight. He beat nobody worth a damn too. He said Virgil Ortiz needs to earn a shot at him but won't fight a top 5 welterweight and earn a shot at the top welterweight. Even Floyd took short $ against De La Hoya and didn't price himself out. Crawford is a delusional diva clown with a huge ego. He needs a reality check. The guy makes his own promoter lose $ and doesn't help himself by promoting himself doing shows and interviews. He refuses to do interviews with anyone that doesn't kiss his ass and overrate him.

Terence is a complete disgrace for boxing

You know you're doing something wrong, when Eddie Hearn comes out and speaks truth. Did hell just freeze over?

Eddie Hearn out here promoting this fight better than top rank and PBC.

I love how Hearn is slowly becoming the best promoter.

He's the best right now hands down

I'm trying to work this ego thing out, it seems more sensible to me that Spence is doing a Packy by pricing himself out of fights which scare him. That is what rules boxing today, boxers who won't take on the top fights that fans want because the risk/reward is not good enough for them. If more explanation is needed just look at the boxers who will fight Crawford, for them they have a chance to climb up the rankings and so increase their value, the risk/reward for them is good.

Spence was open to giving Crawford 40%. He holds two belts. How is that pricing out?

Floyd gave Manny 25%.

You heard from Crawford himself live at a fight when interviewed last week shameful ducking Spence saying that he wasn't interested in the fight.

Maybe Orlando Salido will come out of retirement and that way he can have another career featherweight on his resume.
