Spence: Crawford needs to accept 70/30 or whtevr we give.Canelo a possibility for me.

These are the words of a man who wants to avoid an opponent.

[DaNeutral.]

Errol you may as well just come out and say you don't want to fight Crawford cuz it is plainly obvious.

And while we are at it nobody believes you want to or will fight Canelo either. Typical PBC clout chasing and nothing more. It's all part of the marketing strategy over the at the cult of Haymon.

[Outwest Exp 355]

I don’t see anything wrong with what he said. 60/40 70/30 is just flexing. He has Al Haymon so what ever deal he gets we can all assume it’s going to be a fair deal, if not great. And you can say the same thing about Crawford and Arum. Hell a month ago Crawford said in an interview he wants 60.

If it walks like a duck, talks like a duck, smells like a duck....then it's a DUCK!!!

I keep telling people these "top guys" don't want to fight Bud & they're making it known to the world.

[Curt Henning]

those who are on side bud will say this means hes ducking...i get it..we get it...we know the drill....those on team spence will say differently....

i side with spence here....but its just common sense and logic when you break it down...spence could pursue fights with thurman or pac right now and thats more than fine....hes says canelo too..i dunno how real or true that is but i guess he could be doing that also

reality is spence has a couple of straps and several good ppvs under his belt...if spence were to do another ppv that did alright or he were to add pacs belt to his collection? i mean....at that point...yeah...bud would have to accept b-side status

bud is the one struggling for opponents...bud is the one whos own promoter is talking down about him and about losing money and how he doesnt sell...none of that is coming from the spence side......

spence has other options! bud doesnt! thats just reality....this is what people do...you see weakness on the other side? then you hit them...."oh you want to fight? ok better be ready to take 40 percent".....bud has put himself in this position.....he thought he was in a power spot...and a couple of years ago yeah maybe he was....but his own promoter has been out there talking sheet on him and he doesnt have many other options for a big fight....

60/40 seems fine for me, Crawford is not a draw and his string of last opponents were not PPV material. He has to put it up and get the smaller share but if he wins in the rematch he should be the A side. It's all about taking risks if he thinks he can beat Spence he should take it.

[CauliflowerEars]

If ever there was a fight purse that could be split 50/50, this is it.
Possibly 55/45 for Spence.

As far as talking smack goes, I'd rather hear a fighter say, "I'll fight that rat bastard for FREE, just get him in the ring with me!". The diva stuff is sometimes disgusting.

[champion4ever]

If Crawford isn't willing to accept 70/30 then who the fuck needs him? Bud is an idiot. He got himself boxed in a long term exclusive promotional/network contract with both ESPN and Top Rank

Where as, Canelo is a promotional free agent; Who is free to fight any opponent on any platform he so ever chooses. That's the advantage and the upper hand that Canelo has on Crawford.

He is willing to cross to street to fight on the PBC but Terence can't do that because he's owned by Top Rank. He's Bob's property.

Besides, outside of boxing fans who would buy pay per views and tickets to see and purchase a Crawford/Spence fight?

[Robbie Barrett]

C'mon now 70/30 is ridiculous. Spence acting like he's as big a draw as Canelo.
