Possibly, so what are they waiting for, they should make an official announcement already so people will start buying tickets for the probable biggest fight of the year. Crawford vs Spence, this is the fight that we have been waiting for, and I can't accept if it will not be realized this year.
Don't mind the ticket sales. That bout is expected to be sold out just even minutes or a few hours before the announcement.
Here are the key reasons:
a) the fight was been anticipated for long
b) the fight was between two champions
c) Spence is the King of PPV
d) Crawford is currently at the top of the rankings
That's why even there's no official announcement yet, it will be sold out no matter what.
I agree with that, it's not a problem to sell this fight, the big problem is if these two will agree on the sharing of the revenue and purse. If one will demand a 50/50 share while the other boxer will not agree because he wants more, then this fight will just remain a speculation.
