[HaulParris]

Spence-Crawford

 

[Simple Southerner]

I'm actually more pumped for the craw spence fight I still can't believe it's actually happening

 

[El Fernas]

Poirier vs Gaethje its more of a co-main or FN Main event imo, they are not at their peaks, no title on either guy, both former IC only, its a banger of a fight but also a rematch, Spence vs Crawford its a special matchup, first ever Undisputed 147lbs champ iirc, both still in their prime, the two best the division has to offer at the right time too, it should outsell the UFC but the brand carries a lot of weight on its own, i will try and watch both, im not on a PPV market, if i had to only watch one its boxing, the other is a rematch.

 

[Hitdepruns]

Both. At the same time if possible.... but main focus on Spence vs Bud.

Bellator x Rizin 2 is also on that same night.

Yeah but it's in Japan, won't the main card actually be on at like 6AM EST?

Spence/Crawford took a stupid amount of time to put together. It's almost boxing's new meta to sell super fights is drag negotiations out for years then get it together to sell more than it would've if it came together right away because of FOMO. Fuck that tactic and if I'm watching that I'm streaming illegally out of principal. Probably doing same shit with Usyk/Fury. Hate boxing matchmaking but love the sport.

 

[Takes Two To Tango]

If I had to choose between the two, definitely 291.

Just checked. It looks like the start time in the states is 1 am ET / 10 pm PT

 

[Ares Black]

Well, I don't give a shit about boxing, so I'll watch the amazing MMA card, thanks.

In reality the UFC will sell more PPVs if it stays together the 291 card is sickening, but boxing reporters will still claim these guys made 300 million each. Do any bars even bother showing boxing matches like this?
