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.

That 50/50 is never gonna happen as Spence would never accept that, the final call now is from Crawford, if he will agree to lower his share then most likely this fight will be realized. We have been anticipating this fight, it's a big disappointment if it will not happen this year after all the hype that is happening.

Crawford will accept a lower share and it's nothing new. It's on Spence if he really wants to force that ridiculous 60/40 or even 70/30. I say 55/45 in favor of Spence should be fair enough. It's not like Spence is a huge PPV draw either so his previous demands were unreasonable. The event will most likely draw 500k to 1 million PPV buys. It's like Spence 250k and Crawford 150k and the huge chunk of the draw is because they are fighting each other.

The latest in the grapevine is this will happen in November this year. So from early this year, then to October and now November. Does it look like Spence is still not confident to face his fears? So he is continuing to buy some time to make Crawford older and more inactive. Years of ducking and avoiding the boogeyman.

We'll have to wait more months for the fight to happen, they need to push Spence to accept the deal it already favors him if this fight never happens, in the future, they will blame each why the fight did not push through and Spence gets the bigger share of the blame, we don't want this fight to happen in the future in the exhibition fight when they are old, this is the best time to happen, we never know if they failed to sign a dela and one of them lose a fight or gets retire.

I don't understand why this fight have not been settled yet. If it's true that Crawford is willing to have a pay cut just to make this fight to happen, then what are the valid reasons for Spence not to sign the deal already?
AFAIK, nothing is standing on the way for both fighters for this fight to happen as per Crawford's last statement after parting ways with his promoter on November.
Is it really true that Spence is still buying time and finding ways to delay this fight.
I hope this is not going to be another disappointing match up like the ones with Pacquiao.
