If the boxing body ordered but then the fighters didn't follow, he will be either stripped of the belt or have to pay them huge some of money, which I don't think Spence is willing to do. And as we have argued, they are in the same stable mate, so this fight is easy to be made. Just goes down on the money, but for sure Spence is going to be the A-side here, maybe 60-40 or 60-35, nevertheless it's all in house money.
Yes, I agree. Spence won't do something stupid and cancel the fight because of his own reason. In fact, he should be able to handle Keith Thurman.
About the purse split, it makes sense to think that Spence will surely have the biggest slice of the pie for obvious reasons.
Spence won't be called a "
PPV King" for nothing that's why my guess will be, 60-35 in favor of Spence.
Yes, Spence will get the biggest part of the purse here, he is the champion the most active, and one of the biggest attraction in boxing and in this weight class. Thurman will have to play his part to accept the lesser money. But still a win win situation for him if he beat Spence and maybe him and Crawford can fight next.
Was just watching the Pacquiao vs Thurman fight and the hype behind it.
Lol, Thurman really bring the best out of Manny Pacquiao with all his trash talking and when he was knock down, that sums up what the fight will end up when you trash talk one of the biggest punchers. Anyhow, let's see how they will going to promote it, for sure there will be a lot of trash talking as well.
I'm waiting for him to bring something to hype the media and bring intensity and that kind of inspration for Spence when they are both inside the ring, I don't think Thurman will missed this kind of exposure, knowing that he really wanted to challenge the defending champion, if he manage to upset Spence here, he will gain a huge hype to his career and for sure more money fight to expect.
We don't know if what will be the outcome the conclusion will be dictated after the fight.
I'm seeing Spence claiming that he is still the king of welterweight and the recent set of fighters are just wannabes, including Spence and Crawford to some extend. He can claim that he is still the best although he has lost to Manny Pacquiao years ago.
And I think fans are going to watch this fight, could be one of the most anticipated fight in welterweight as Thurman is also a very loud trash talker and we can see some disrespect brewing in this fight.
Well Thurman is a pretty strong, very powerful boxer, but the bad thing is when they talk a lot, because they don't concentrate very well and they say things that aren't, of course I think they do that on purpose to get attention, without a doubt Spence is one of The best, for me Crawford, for me he has plenty of opportunity to do something well, if Crwafor manages to win his match, if Spence loses it, I think that this is the ideal opportunity to take advantage of it to challenge him, and if he does not accept it, I think Crawford has a lot to be able to annoy him, of course Thurman can go off on a lot saying things, but I think he can also be part of the show.
Well, now here's one more curiosity about Errol Spence:
WORRY ‘F***ed him up’ – Errol Spence does not want to fight 44-year-old Manny Pacquiao, despite recent call-out, because of ‘stigma’ Larry Holmes faced after battering Muhammad Ali
However, Spence was forced to withdraw due to an eye injury and Pacquiao was well beaten by replacement opponent Yordenis Ugas instead.
The icon then retired from boxing, as many thought was right.
In April of this year, Spence stopped Ugas and is now targeting a showdown with fellow elite champion Terence Crawford.
This has proved difficult to negotiate though, and Pacquiao has thrown another spanner into the works.
The 44-year-old returned to the ring for an exhibition bout last week and stated that he wants to make a full comeback against Spence or Crawford.
Pacquiao told FightHype: “Of course I can fight Terence Crawford or Errol Spence.
