I think the main concern relies on the purse split why Spence seems to avoid Crawford. A 50-50 split is not making sense for Spence.
The reason? Between him and Crawford, the former seems the one that will make the possible fight profitable. He is a much-considered King of PPV compared to Crawford and that was proven already.
Maybe a 60-40 should be fine but I don't know if Crawford will like that idea.
Also another concern is the pot might not be very big enough for Spencer to accept Terence Crawford's challenge. As I mentioned before, Errol Spence Jr. is using a similar tactic as Floyd Mayweather where he will so no until the money is right for him to say yes. My only hope is they will not be old before they say yes similar to Amir Khan versus Kell Brook hehe.
I don't think there will be no money in this fight, there will be enough for both, biggest paycheck ever for anyone of them. The hype is still there specially if Spence bet Ugas in his fight. Crawford has been calling him for quite sometime now, it's up to Spence to response back to make this fight happen. We don't want to see him on the downturn of their career before facing each other. It should be in their primes, in the next 2 years.
I never told everyone that there will be no money for Spence versus Crawford, however, it would be very wrong to assume that there will be enough money on offer for 1 of the fighters. I am implying Errol Spence might want more than how much is on offer for him to fight the other king of the welterweight division. This is happening very much similar to Mayweather vs. Pacquiao. There were offers proposed for Mayweather, however, he rejected them because he was very certain the next offer would be bigger. He waited until he thought it was the biggest offer possible from the promoters. I reckon Spence is also waiting for the biggest offer that he speculates would be the biggest possible from the promoters.
So you saying that it will be waiting game moving forward? If that will be the reasoning that maybe there will be no hype if they decided to fight in the next couple of years or when Spence is satisfied with the offer. And who knows, maybe along the way there could be some that might come up and this fight might not going to happen until it was too late.
And it seems that Crawford will have to sit because of this one:
