Are there any updates about this fight? Hopefully, they can announce it before the end of June.

Terence Crawford gives Errol Spence Jr fight update

Terence Crawford himself gives an update recently that they are still trying to make the fight possible.

And I quote from the article:

"What makes things difficult is the 34-year-old Crawford only has one belt to Spence’s three, and he’s not a huge pay-per-view attraction or ticket seller like him. Although Crawford is ranked ahead of Spence in Ring Magazine’s pound-for-pound list at #3 to his #4, there’s not enough of a cushion to help in the negotiations."

It's clear that the main subject here is maybe the split. Spence may be demanding a much higher split above 60-40 because of his pay-per-view revenue and multi-title in possession. That seems reasonable to be demanded by Spence. If everything failed, Crawford may consider moving up weight instead and forget fighting Spence until the latter calls for him.

So what is happening in this fight? I thought this is already settled and there's already a date of the said fight. Well, 60/40 should be a good split, Spence Jr. has more belts and he deserve a higher cut of the revenue, I hope Crawford will understand that because if he wins this fight, he will be the undisputed champion.

Crawford should take the smaller financial take on this fight? Man I hope this fight goes off now. A pissed off disrespected Crawford will whoop Spence's ass. Crawford been disrespected his whole career, and all he does is completely wreck everyone in the ring. This should go off at 50/50 with the winner getting the belts. I see no other way this will go off.

I think 50/50 is not gonna happened. Crawford might feel disrespected but to fully take a chance to beat Spence ass, he just need to accept the split. Stealing those 3 titles from Spence should be his priority and focus. That 40% split is still a big money while at the same time, he have the chance to become the unified Welterweight Champion.

After defeating Spence, he can now challenge more big names next and since he now have the status of an unified champion, he can now demand for a much higher split. That's a reasonable thing do now for him as an undisputed Champion.
