Do you see the Spence vs Crawford rematch happening?

[LG Motel 22]

Spence fight won't happen, taken too much out of him, and who's going to pay for it ? No demand. I think the Boots fight could happen if Boots actually gets off his arse and actually gets a couple of great wins next year, Tszyu fight as well, stadium fight in Australia where Crawfish can make $10 million plus or in Vegas if Tszyu keeps knocking over contenders in US. Charlo is done. Just hope Crawford actually fights early to mid next year.

Would anybody other than Crawford’s trainer have predicted that the fight would be so one-sided that nobody would want to rematch? Yet here we are.

Point is it won't be seen as big as the first fight. The motivation for promoters and broadcasters is cut in half or less.

There's been many fights where loser of first wins the rematch. AJ-Ruiz Jr.. Lewis-Rahman.. Eubank-Smith.. I think broadcasters are still interested but how much they're willing to pay is the problem. Probably the money is much lower than the first fight. Reports said they made around $20 million each, but the value of the rematch is more like $4m for Bud and $1m for Spence. So the issue is whether they're willing to fight each other for a much lower purse. Unless they can get Saudi to pay more.

Totally up to them Crawford and Spence whether they'll accept it's not as big as the first fight, thus should take whatever is offered on the table.

Supposedly the weight has already been agreed upon according to the latest interview with Derrick James so I'm guessing it's going to be at 154.

But with Showtime now out of the picture, the fight is up in the air until another network or platform picks it up.

They should do a bidding participated in by DAZN, ESPN, BLK, etc. The highest bidder takes the fight.

If Mayweather - Pacquiao could be made without a rematch clause, any fight can be.

That was then, this is now. Nowadays, everyone drops in a rematch clause. Besides, there may have been a rematch in the contract if Pacquiao won. I'm not sure, but that is another factor. Sometimes, only 1 guy gets honored the rematch if he loses. That's some BS.

I still don't see this rematch happening. People involved should be making an official announcement, so the sport can move on with other things.

According to one idiot in this forum the fight should happen this year. Even got mad as hell with my previous post.

Guess his contract that states the rematch must taken place in 2023 means nothing??? You don't even have a clue do you? So why you here? Making up stories that suit your whims. Go back to sleep there enough BS in forum already with out your lame option. You really believed he can set a date that suits him (chuckle)

Any news about the status of this rematch? Sick of seeing articles about the Crawford/Canelo obsession, yet nothing about the rematch.

Especially when Crawford and Spence are into one fight per year status, therefore sense of urgency is not even there for these two. Can these media people at least tone down the Canelo/Crawford obsession until the rematch is done? Not to mention Crawford if he wins will have to take another long vacation after the rematch.
