But to get the date of when they will fight - the purse split matters to their respective promoters.
In some cases, the boxers themselves want to fight as soon as possible.
But the delays originate from their promoters, who are not in agreement with their split.
And yes, Crawford vs Spence Jr, this will definitely happen, only the date is yet to be determined.
They will rake huge money, but getting the 4 world titles would be the best to get from this event.
Not in rush as I think whether it's not organized yet or not, the possible date will still be in October or November.
The purse split is really an important matter to discuss but I think they are close on the deal. Maybe there are other issues that need to be addressed and not just the purse split like location, venue, and any others.
But one thing is for sure, we can expect this fight this year. I don't see any reason why it should not happen.
As much as they want to fight each other the soonest time, they really have to negotiate first specially the magnitude of this fight. And then we have the ego of this two in equation, but maybe Crawford will give in to the 60/40 split just to make this fight happen. I think the location can be settled in as usually the venue have been reserved by major promoters and networks, it's who is going to fight on that said date.
This fight is going to happen this year no doubt about it. We will just have to wait for the announcement and then press conference will kick off and we can see the trash talking start.
