Are there any updates about this fight? Hopefully, they can announce it before the end of June.
Terence Crawford gives Errol Spence Jr fight updateTerence 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.
Well, we have our own opinion regarding the split, but based on record they are both undefeated while Spence is holding more belts than Spence, so there's no way this fight will go 50/50 unless Spence will agree to that, but if Spence will demand a higher percentage, I think he deserves that.
This is business, it's not about the records or how good you are, it's all about your market value and Spence has been a better PPV attraction than Crawford, so he can say take it or leave it and just move up in weight.
