Spence's doctor said that it will be critical for him if he pursues the fight because it will lead him to blindness as he can't really avoid getting punched in his eye.
They think it's a bluff although I don't see any reason why to think of that. People have just to move on that issue as it is now settled. Either way, if Pacquiao's fight against Spence pushes through, Pacman might suffer a much more painful defeat as he is not fully focused on his boxing. Ugas turned Pacquiao into a punching bag wherein Spence did the same against Ugas after the replacement.
Going back to the topic, Spence is not that coward but just playing business over legacy.
If in fact we can tell if Crawford starts attacking Spence in his eye, if so then that's his weakest point and I think Crawford will take advantage of that weakness, maybe that's why he wants to fight this fight as much as possible. fast, although it seems to me that it is a weakness that he should take advantage of, I would not do it in Crawford's position, I prefer to win properly, that is, with my own effort and not because of imminent weakness, I also know that there is a lot of money at stake, but I think a person's integrity comes first, and that's something Spence should keep in mind, I don't think he wants to risk going blind just from that fight.
There is no question that Crawford would accept the lesser of the split. And he is fine with it so I guess that argument has been settled already. But there is the promotion and then the network that might be the stumbling block in this negotiations. But hopefully they can settle their difference just like any major fight that has happen in the past like Floyd vs Manny. They have to do it for the fans because there is a demand and the money that they are going to made is huge as well.
It's either that Spence really doesn't want the fight or his team, or they are trying to bluff Crawford with much higher split in the fight. But 60-40 in favor of Errol is already a good split and if Crawford is going to accept it then good.
But so far all we heard is that they agreed verbally? That is still very far from making this fight. They did to do it asap, everyone is waiting for it. After GGG vs Canelo, there will be no super fight in the calendar.
Until now Crawford has not made a statement regarding that 60:40 split, if he will announce that he is okay with that split, then we can conclude that it was only Spence who is trying to avoid him because he maybe believes that he cannot beat Crawford.
I think Crawford will still grab the split offer regardless of its amount just to prove that he really wants to face Spence. If Spence still wouldn't agree on facing him, it would really prove that it's him who is avoiding this match. The decision on this split will only prove things clearly so we'll wait and see if Crawford would grab it.
No doubt he will accept it, both for Crawford and for Spence they need this fight, I don't know but seeing that they can do many things for this fight, many believe that Crawford is not interested, the truth is I don't know why they say, until now if he fights against Spence It is because he wants to have a greater reputation, some say that Spence will not give him a chance to breathe, I still cannot draw a conclusion about it, for me they are both good, and I think they are both at an adequate level, taking Canelo's , the fight is taking a turn very much in favor of Canelo, I see a much more mature Canelo and I see GGG very badly, he is very slow, this fight is undoubtedly being won by Canelo.
