Thats more than generous from Spence.I believe hes going 55/45

lmaoooo relaxSo when Crawford sons Spence is he then not a prospect?
How fragile some boxing "fans" are that they feel compelled to throw shade at a #1 PFP fighter.

More belts, better resume, bigger gate draw, bigger ppv draw, longer reign at the weight, bigger name to casuals...all that could be more than 5%. Bud should of signed that instantly.
Good to know, glad Spence’s head in the game. If he’s on point I expect Spence to stop TC, wholeheartedly. It might not be a walk in the park, but he gets it done imo. Always believed so.Not yet. But theyre more confident than ever it gets done. Spence has given up far more than he needed to to make this happen.
RR said hes never seen Spence this locked in on someone.

I believe Crawford wanted the bigger split up until their respective last fights and #s.Spence side almost had to start with 60/40. I feel like 61/39 would be a bad move to start a deal in this context. 70/30 is just a waste of time to get to 60/40.
Crawford obviously starts with 50/50.
They ultimately split the difference and that is pretty awesome. I love negotiation but I would be terrible professional at this level. Splitting the difference is a L. This whole deal could have easily gone crazy/poisoned on both sides exactly because both sides know the other side can't walk.
At this point, anyone putting this fight down needs to seek medical attention for depression and/or doesn't know shit about boxing.
I am betting the underdog after the weigh in with a very small amount of bank roll. I am a huge Errol fan boy. I didn't think he would ever fight again when he just vanished for so long after the accident. Cheering for Spence with a small bet on Crawford sounds good to me.
I just can't imagine though this being anything other than on the level of Hagler vs Leonard to score if it goes to the cards.
What's RR's thoughts on the fight? What's yours?
I think Bud will wear Errol down.
he better be. we all criticise crawford for fighting no one, but let's not shit ourselves here. he's a bad motherfucker.RR said hes never seen Spence this locked in on someone.
they've both been welterweight champions for 4 years, i wouldnt say its "early"

it might be for Spencethey’re not really past their prime though. Not like canelo/ggg where there was an obvious drop off in ggg in his previous couple of fights. There’s no excuses can be made that it came a little too late for one of them
RR will never pick against his guy, he thinks Spence is going to brutalize him. I think it will be a close fight and will depend on who has the better chin. Crawford is more refined but Spence has that terminator mode to him that not a lot of guys can handle.What's RR's thoughts on the fight? What's yours?
Crawford is a monster. My only critique of him has been his refusal to prove it against the best.he better be. we all criticise crawford for fighting no one, but let's not shit ourselves here. he's a bad motherfucker.
If this actually happens I think the money will be nearly even with the bookies, maybe a slight favorite to Crawford as they tend to favor the better technicians. Curious to see where those numbers end up.If they fight my moneys on Crawford
