PBC exec Tim Smith pours water on Spence-Crawford......

[Thuglife Nelo]

LDBC channels crying about Ryan Garcia as of late defending Pitbull Cruz. When Ryan and GBP call PBC’s bluff the Haymonites cry about Ryan’s relevance like “why we even talking about Ryan? I hate talking about it. Ryan ain’t serious.!”

yet these clowns still talk about Spence vs Crawford all day errday

What are you crying about now? Did you even listen to the interview? The moneys not in the fight and they aren’t going to lose money making it. You want the fight so bad then get Crawford to take less money.

The moneys not in the fight lol if this fight is not PPV worthy and people won't buy it then no fking fight should ever be on PPV. No garbage azz Tank Davis fight, No garbage heavyweight bum fights, No thurman vs bum azz 140 fighter none of them.

except it's just an excuse for them to not fight Crawford and you're ok with that cause your a fan of a promotional company over the sport itself. Lame sh**

[DaNeutral.]

It don't matter, Spence, his team and the PBC have NEVER wanted to make that fight. I can only assume they all know Crawford is all wrong for Spence and atleast 9 times out of 10 its a Crawford win.

Tim Smith pouring water over an already dead fire as far as I can see. But its the biggest fight in America, the most wanted fight in the sport and the PBC "side of the street" has continously made sure it isn't going to happen.

A certain couple of ppl on here call me a racist cuz I can't stand the PBC. It is things EXACTLY LIKE THIS that give me my beef with the PBC. The biggest fight in the sport and all they can do is make a thousand excuses as to not bother even trying to make it.

Don't forget, when Lou DiBella tried to set up the undisputed fight for Deontay Wilder Haymon had him sacked. When DAZN tried to offer Wilder 120 million Al Haynon whispered in to Wilder's ear "that's Floyd Mayweather training camp money".

I never said I was OK with it but I live in the real world. How many millions are they willing to lose in order to put this fight on? I’ll order the fight even though I can stream it because I support the fighters I like. Now if everyone was like me we wouldn’t be in this situation. The PBC guy was right the ones crying about the fight are the ones stealing the fight.

In that interview,Smith says that it's not going to happen because of the economics of it due to "the high purse" Crawford would demand but admits he doesn't know what # is because they haven't even reached out to Crawford!?!? Then proceeds to say all "us fans" wouldn't support the ppv and just "steal" it which is complete horse****!.

These are the exact type of fights most of us fans expect and WILL support on PPV,not these Arreola vs Ruiz's or Thurman vs Barrios **** shows. I'm confident that Spence vs Crawford can/would generate 500k-600k buys with a decent amount of promotional push,give that extra push and who knows what it can do. 500K buys with gate and the likes,seems more than enough to compensate both Spence and Bud.

In the past Crawford has balked at 50/50 and said he deserves a bigger split. So based on that then there’s no chance it happens until Crawford gets more realistic.
Like Arum said when he talked about losing money on Bud. He’s not a PPV draw but wants to be paid like one.

That may well and true but how about they actually reach out to Crawford first and see what it"ll take or see where he currently stands at minumum. Instead of outright saying they're not going to bother like Smith is stating I this interview. Crawford is no longer with Top Rank where he had a kush guarantee from Bob. No promotional company is going to guarantee him those purses any longer so its possible his demands have soften up,not likely I ageee but atleast lets find out right.

I really thought Arum was the main roadblock.

They find any excuse to make no attempt to make the fight and place the blame solely on Crawford. It's the PBC way.

The least they can do is attempt to make some sort of negotiation. If they make efforts and Crawford just sticks to huge demands and won't negotiate then its all guna look bad on Crawford.

But saying "Crawford once came across as greedy so we are not even going to attempt to make one of the sports biggest fights" is a joke. The PBC once again piss all over the sport of Boxing.

Cool then they should be ok with someone else putting the show on and letting Spence get his money.
