The way PBC is treating Crawford, I don't they will be able to sign him if he beats Spence except for a 1 or 2 fights deal that would guarantee a title shot against undisputed super middleweight champion Jermell Charlo. After that, I think he is headed to DAZN.
As a knowledgeable in boxing, do you think that regardless of who will win on this match between Spence and Crawford, they will face Jermell Charlo next at the super middleweight?
Or a rematch is bound to happen first?
I really like that this fight between Spence and Crawford should happen now to now end the issues of who's the best in the Welterweight and finally will move on to their next plan.
There is a high chance that a rematch is bound to happen first regardless of the result, I don't think that Spence or Crawford will just move-on without having a second bout to try and settle their scores. Also, a rematch clause was stated and that's expected as this is an undisputed fight and a measurement on who's really the best boxer in the welterweight division.
An immediate rematch clause regardless of the result? What if Crawford knocks out Spence in round 1 or if Spence knocks out Crawford also in round 1? Does this not make the rematch not very marketable for the promoters and also not very tempting to watch for the fans? I reckon there must be a clause within the rematch clause hehe.
Also, Bob Arum said that Crawford will beat Spence. But how can we trust Arum when he was hurt by Crawford when he left Top Rank for free agency.
“I really believe Terence is the better fighter and will beat Spence when they fight, although I expect it’ll be a tremendous fight. That remains to be seen,” said Arum when asked if Spence – Crawford will be on the level of the 1980s fight between Sugar Ray Leonard and Tommy Hearns.Source https://www.boxingnews24.com/2022/09/bob-arum-picks-terence-crawford-to-defeats-errol-spence-jr/Yes, you're right. I won't be marketable for the organizers and promoters if Spence or Crawford will get knocked out especially in the 1st round of the fight, anyway, they haven't released some details regarding that clause within the rematch clause. What we know is that the defeated boxer could chose to activate that clause or not, and we know it won't be activated if that defeated boxer was lost dominantly by a way of KO/TKO. I bet the promoter won't let the boxer do that because it's already nonsense.
I also believe that Bud Crawford have the higher hand in this fight, the man is fearless and could break mountains if he has to. While Spence here is clearly trying to drag the schedule because he knows that Crawford won't be the same as time goes by.
In that you are absolutely right, I think that what Crawford defends him the most is the zero fear of fighting with Spence, I do not know if Spence wants to delay the fight, but I do not think it will affect Crawford for me the result will be the same, what I think that at any moment the result can be the same, for me there is no difference, if Spence does not prepare as he is, I think he would be the one who would lose the most, Crawford has many advantages, I think he has a lot of solidity in his strategies If in a fight things got out of control I think the boxer has learned to mature what he has already learned, for me it is a golden opportunity that cannot be wasted.
As I was browsing, I found this.
World champions Errol Spence Jr. and Terence Crawford are no closer to signing on the dotted line for a massive Pay Per View.
Despite months of back-and-forth discussions, Spence and Crawford will have to consider alternative opponents shortly.
Jaron Ennis is the next in line to challenge Spence Jr. if an undisputed welterweight title fight with Crawford fails to materialize.

https://www.worldboxingnews.net/2022/10/02/errol-spence-jr-terence-crawford-contract-mess/This is bad news, though it's also speculation it's not good to see this kind of news that will only disappoint the fans who keep hyping this fight. I don't know why they are still hesitant to make it happen, it's a big PPV fight, both will certainly make huge money.
Indeed but unfortunately, we cannot do anything about it because that same dispute whether if it's big or small, that will likely be the reason why this fight will not materialize. It might be a speculation for now but anywhere I looked into, things are not getting good and that speculation is the nearest possible scenario because if not, then there's no reason to delay the fight any longer.
Well, we are in the world of boxing and we always put our points of view, we share great news and possible speculations of what may happen, however, I believe that this fight will happen, in fact what is most handled here is the broad business model that is generated with these fights, we can see that through Spence and Crawford it is being taken with greater concern, some of the fans just want to see this fight to place their bets, and they want to know what the boxers think , be above their sponsors, I think deep down they both want to fight, if we put aside all business and money, these two should fight and I know they want to fight.
This is a bad news for now to the boxing fans because as a fan of boxing I can not deny that I am very sad to hear this because we all know how interesting this fight is, and both fighters has a skill and good strategy in terms of boxing and they are both undefeated champions.. but what we want to see is in our imagination only because this fight will not be gonna happen for now maybe in next year's this fight will happen .
It may be that these things are happening, but in part, I believe that a fight as good as this should happen, in fact I think it will happen, for me these things have a lot to do with the part of the rivalry between the two, I think that these boxers have a lot of dislike for each other and this pleases the fans, although as I said before, I know that the World Cup in Qatar is approaching and attention at the world level will be focused in that direction, I think that boxing fans want action, but good action, from which they can make an unforgettable fight, I think that if it is this year or the other, it should happen, now what I can think is that maybe they got some kind of statistics and they don't see it as viable for now .
Here I have some information that was produced, it is very interesting:
Errol Spence on Terence Crawford fight: “S**t is happening next, all you need to know!”The Spence vs. Crawford fight was tentatively talked about taking place on November 19th, but with Terence reportedly wanting visibility, don’t the expenses for the bout; it could delay the match from happening?
The good news is Spence is confirming the fight with Crawford is happening, so that’s one positive thing. With Crawford getting older, fans can’t afford to wait too much longer for the fight to happen.
