Yeah, so far it's very hard to really see where this is going. On the other hand, others are very excited, including myself to hear at least a very encouraging news from the head of showtime boxing.

On the other hand, if the fight is at a standstill and no one is willing to give an inch as far as money is concern, then this might never happen. Not sure what will be the best option for Crawford at this point since PBC has the most number of 147 lbs.

In order for this fight to take place, third-party investments (sponsorship) are needed.

Premier Boxing Champions are ready to organize this fight. At the same time, they guarantee that everything will be organized at the highest level.

However, they do not have a business model that guarantees profit and return on investment. This is due to massive copyright infringement and the organization of illegal broadcasts of boxing matches. So sponsorship is needed. Otherwise, this fight may not take place.

At the same time, we are all looking forward to it and hope that it will still take place!

Every promoter will try their way to win the promotion as it will guarantee them a profit. It's a big fight, it could sell a millions of dollars in gate entrance and PPV, so I don't think a 3rd party would be a problem. Spence and Crawford needs to agree with the sharing and this will be realize easily.

I get what you are saying but I don't think that sponsorship is their main struggle to make the fight happen nor why it takes too long for them to strike a deal because Crawford is working alongside Mayweather who has his own promotions and Spence has PBC too.

As far as the sharing of purses is concerned, the best guess is that Crawford understands that he has no power to demand the greater cut because he ain't have the most food on the table. My opinion about this matter is that Spence is really taking his time to drag the fight more, he wanted this to happen but he thinks that it is yet not the right time.
