November 20th is going to the day of boxing between Three-devision WBO welterweight Champ Crawford Vs Two-devision titlelist Porter. The purse was agreed to 60:40 (Crawford : Porter) instead of regular 80:20 so that Crawford gets $6 Million and Porter gets $4 Million. WBO has planned to livestream the match on their facebook page on 20th November. Eagerly awaiting to watch. A big fight between champions.
that's a handsome payout during this pandemic period. win or lose, they have their pockets full going home. bookies are heavily favouring crawford here. but upset can happen anytime. but it seems they are pretty confident giving odds for crawford at only 1.1x.
we may see another toe-to-toe fight in the boxing ring after this fury-wilder trilogy fight. at least the money of boxing fans are not wasted with boring and dull fights. we need explosive fights inside the ring so this boxing sports will keep afloat in the market.
It's always a handsome dividend when two of the best fighters are going to face each other. And maybe this is the main reason why suddenly Crawford goes out of his comfort zone to fight non-TR fighters for the first time in many years.
Remember that this is the minimum that they are going to get, there's still money to be made in the PPV and live gates a well.
Just to be fair with Crawford, he always wanted to fight and been calling them, including Errol Spence. And he even said that Spence duck him or, maybe there is a money issue.
So it's good that finally he will fight a non-TR fighter and hopefully we can still see him and Spence in the ring in the future. Or even a Thurman or Ugas fight might be good as well. And it's a winnable fight for Crawford that could cement him as the best welterweight of this generation.
If Crawford cannot beat Porter, then there's no reason for Crawford to call out Spence to fight him, and regarding Spence, I think we should let him relax to heal his injury, we have no idea yet on when he will be back in boxing, the operation was very sensitive, the doctor might advise him not to fight anymore.
What we see is what we get, thus far, this is the best match for Crawford for him to prove that he is not afraid of fighting anyone.
Maybe after this we will see a Thurman vs Crawford, this match-up would be nice I believe.
