Even though we haven't heard any 'official announcement' yet, might be just sometime now as they might have been ironing out few things before going out in public.
And as mentioned, maybe the date and venue is one obstacles that they have to settled. The network will have to come out as the best place for this fight is, and then the date itself.. I think money wise and split, verbally they could have talk it down already. And we are going to be privilege to witnessed another great fight if this happens this year.
I agree with you. I even think this fight is now almost a deal but just a few things are being properly fixed before the official announcement.
In the first place, there's no other boxer that both Terence Crawford and Errol Spence should fight but between the two of them. Even the majority of boxing analysts and known personalities are throwing their respective opinion that the fight should happen no matter what.
This is a fight that has no excuses or reason to delay or what. We will surely see this fight happening this year. There's no doubt about that. Maybe they are not planning to hold it close to the date of one of the biggest fights also this year, the trilogy between Canelo Alvarez and Gennady Golovkin.
Well this is something very interesting, and I hope it happens like this, but I think that the main reason why they want the fight to happen is because of the amount of money that is involved there, I don't see that they do it for the pure interest of boxing, I don't think that it be for that, rather the most logical thing is because of the business model, because the big investors are willing to make juicy millionaire bets, and with respect to the trilogy, that Canelo vs. GGG is something that is good is positive, but in my personal opinion I don't see this fight as exciting, because CANELO has faltered a lot, who I see as good for making good fights is the Russian Bivol.
Boxing world is full of billionaires, they are doing things according to how the money will flow,
it's not a secret anymore and with how they handled the fight, it surely generates millions to billions of dollars. An easy way
to bring huge amount of paychecks after the fight.
Whoever it is, the chance that promoters will bring a huge noise is always there. They will continue to make sure that
fans and gamblers will support and throw a good amount of money on the table.
