We have seen the updates already, although not official, but it is a reliable and good source as where the negotiations is heading. It not Terrence Crawford that is trying to 'hard to get', in my opinion it is Spence, because he has 3 belts and he believed he is the A-side, between the two. And all have been speculating that the money split is 60-40 in favor of Spence, and Crawford is ok with that 40. But then again, we might never know that real split until the fight is made, and the numbers goes public.
As far as the previous article I posted here, it was stated that the public will not know the exact details of the split.
I don't know why or any reason why they won't disclose it to the public but regardless, then so be it.
What matter is that we will now see Spence and Crawford facing each other in the ring officially and not just in papers.
Yes, numbers are not usually released in public unless some insider released the number itself. They are not releasing it for confidentially for this fighter.
So we could speculate as what will be the split, maybe it could be in favor of Spence. But I agree that this fight should be made, although there are new updates, we as boxing fans are waiting for the official release.

It's because we have the "Muhammad Ali" act, promoters are then required to send all data to athletic commissions. So everyone see the details, boxing promoters, the boxers themselves, their managers and the commission. So somewhere along the way, either of those entities can leaked the numbers to the public or to those boxing journalist as they are very close to all people concern. It may or may not accurate, but we can get a good estimates.
