Topic: [Boxing] Crawford vs Spence - page 23. (Read 8566 times)

It's been some time and still no concluded decision about the possible upcoming fight, maybe if there's no contract signing that will happen

both fighters will continue to chase for another money fight, not sure who's between the two are not willing to take the challenge or what, really

the reason for why negotiation is still no rolling to how fans wanted it to proceed. Until now, everyone is looking for any news or even rumors

if the fight will take place or both fighters will proceed in facing different opponents.

Possibility to go into alternative if nothing officially happened in the negotiations on this match.

This plan started to be raised around June if I'm not mistaken but several months have passed, and still no official news has been provided.

Crawford is catching the age already. If Spence's fight is not possible, he will definitely push for alternatives to his plan.

As per speculation and might be close to happening, if Crawford vs Spence won't be materialized, the former will push on the next plan which is to move up and challenge Jermell Charlo. That's a good choice if clearing the Welterweight division is not possible because of unknown reasons.

But since no heavy rumors that this fight between Crawford vs Spence will not happen, let's expect that these boxers won't end up on their Plan B if they will failed to meet this year in the ring. We can expect that in the upcoming weeks, an official announcement will soon be released.

True, both of this fighters have clean up the 147 lbs division that they have all the belts, Spence 3 and Crawford 1. So it's just about time to see who is the best and cemented their legacy.

Although the options that I can see is that Spence moving up to 154 lbs and face Charlo. Or Crawford going to 140 lbs, maybe get Josh Taylor but not sure if that is marketable enough to make money. The best money fight for this two is for them to get on the same ring.

What alternative he is looking for? Crawford who is also a champion is challenging him, isn't it good to just accept the challenge and prove to the fans that he is the better fighter? Spence is not a definition of a warrior if he act like that, he should not choose a fight just to remain undefeated.

Something that both are trying to figure it out, rumors before that Spence is avoiding Crawford, not sure

if that still exists or if that affects the negotiation, the money side is a win-win for both of them PPV share and the profits from
advertisement and sponsorships are everywhere.

But future wise, both fighters are thinking about the possibilities personally. I see Crawford to be very keen to have a fight
this year, maybe if there's alternative options he will grab it.

They know they will make more money, what they are waiting is to ensure that they will maximize the possible income they can get here. We are only speculating, the money side is already a win-win for both, however, we know that whoever losses this fight, his future might be affected.

I believe both sides are still checking the pulse of the boxing community.
This can be their biggest paycheck for both boxers, so maybe, they are also careful on when and where this fight will happen.
And also, the arrangements on both camps. The purse split and all the other things attached to it.
This is no ordinary match for both of them. I believe a lot of boxing fans would be willing to pay for this fight.

Marketing is not a problem. Just announced officially that anticipated fight then brace for big sales and probably all tickets will be sold in just a day. This is a blockbuster fight that anyone waits for years. This will probably be the biggest fight this year of all the big fights that happened this year.

Before, it was just a dream and far from being happened. Now, it was close to happening and people's money is just waiting to watch this fight.

I always subscribe to PPV on our local cable channel for that type of event. I hope the price is not high though not expecting it to be cheap. Just between.

I think being "hungry" is not the appropriate term. It's just that Crawford is the one who clearly chases the legacy over anybody that's why he is aiming to defeat those other title holders. It's not being hungry but part of building a legacy and this fight against Spence will now seal who's the current best Welterweight. It's a must-win for both fighters before considering moving up to face challenges there.

On the other hand, it's not that Spence is not aiming for a win and that was insane to think. He is holding 3 titles just for nothing. He's also a real deal. If Crawford is doing his best on training as you mentioned, the same goes for Spence too.

Won't be an easy fight for both and I'm expecting an intense exchange of blows once they finally faced each other.

True, and with all the hype already, this is an anticipated match, everyone is talking about it in social media, Twitter, Youtube, IG etc. Just a matter of date as to when the official date will be.

Sell out crowd of about 20,000 people, which some VIP paying as much as 5 digits just to have a better seat for this fight. And so there is no need to market it, the boxers themselves are marketable already. Crawford has been doing some rounds and interviews already as if the fight is already made, but we will have to see and wait for the final words from their promoters or whoever goes to the public to make that big announcement.

I even think that there's no need for more effort to boost the marketing of this fight. I'm pretty sure that once the ticket sale for this fight is now up for purchase, expect a sold-out within just a few days. The same goes with PPV.

It's the fight that is hoped to happen for years that's why it will be an automatic response for people to hit that buy button to purchase a ticket here.

Marketing is not really a problem. That is something we can't consider a big priority. What we need to know is when will be the official announcement of this fight.

I think it's more of Crawford really wanted to show that he is the best among the best in this welterweight. And I think some of us will agree to that and thinking that Crawford could be the slight favorite in this fight.

So that is also a good form of motivation (and so with Spence). And as discussed, they fought the same fighter in Porter and Crawford win is the most impressive, causing Porter to retire for good in boxing.

There is already a big hype on this fight, I don't see why it will not be push through by promoters at this point. Even casual fans know both fighter are elite and undefeated, so why need to hype it more in the public? revenue for this match up is already guaranteed.

I'm seeing the tickets for the live gate will be a sell out, it's just the matter of PPV as what we have discussed that it's too expensive and because of piracy, the numbers might not be what it is expecting, but still a lot of money for both this fighter.

I think it's not just a big possibility but surely a rematch clause will be included even though they won't release that kind of detail publicly and because this is an undisputed fight and a mega-fight that both camps wouldn't want to miss especially the golden profits they could reap. Also, the rematch would be much different depending on who will have the most belt, so of course that holder will be at the A-side and it might be Spence or Crawford and the purse split will be different too. Either way, we will know soon as for now they haven't made a public announcement yet.

Well apart from those things, I think that this time Crawford is much more hungry for victory and this is something that when a boxer is clear about it he would do anything to achieve it, to see Crawford how everything has gone, in his training and everything could I clearly said that Crawford, even if his body fails him, will not give up, maybe Spence has a better level in every way right now, but sometimes the desire can overcome anything, and above all the perseverance that he has had Crawford, I'm sure he's not going to waste the opportunity around the world, plus Crawford is much more complete and wants to show what he's made of.


In this case I think that the profits for both boxers should be high, regardless of the results that are given, the fans need to see this fight and put the respective bets on the table, both Crawford and Spence would not mind some good money, many say that the favorite is Spence, however I think that Crawford will not let himself win so easily, Crawford's preparation must be very hard because the statistics and probabilities are favoring Spence and obviously Crawford wants to change that vision, he wants to recover all his level and not only beat Spence, but also wants to win every fight that comes his way from here on out, but this fight is very important.

Trash talking and other form of taunting especially on social media is I think enough for them to gather hype for this match, they are big star already and for sure many of their fans would provably watch this fight because for sure many are interested to see on which of them is the more dominant fighter. Provably there are still ongoing negotiation for this fight to happen and maybe there promoter just want more people to talk about this fight so that they can also get huge revenue for this match up.

Exerting more effort into the marketing will help them sell more, more PPV and gate entrance means more money, and probably more sponsorship as well. This is an anticipated fight and it could only happen once, so they have to take this opportunity to make more money.

It's important it's in the contract so no more negotiation of rematch after the fight. It would be more interesting if the first fight result is close like a split decision as that will create some hype since speculation will come out that judges are biased and fans would want to see the rematch.

Both are a title holders champ, so we can assume that both parties are going to seek for a rematch whoever losses

the fight, it might be included from the contract that they are negotiating now, we should talk about the trilogy after the rematch
as we can't assume what will be the outcome of this fight.

Moving forward, looking to see further updates in regard to the schedule if there's already a finalization of the fight.
