Danny Garcia might say that Spence is better than Crawford, but I would believe more on Shawn Porter who faced both boxers and IIRC, Porter said that Crawford is the better fighter, so maybe if we listen to this guy, we will have a good basis and we will not be biased.

Yep, obviously. I'm also in favour of what Porter said.
Based on his fight for both Crawford and Spence, I can say Crawford have a better and effective plan against Porter's aggressiveness. We all knew Porter's style of play, Crawford executed very well to deliver that knock out.
While on the other hand, with his fight against Spence, i can say that was really a close one. Without that round 11 quick knock down, Porter could've won it.

Well apart from those things, I think that this time Crawford is much more hungry for victory and this is something that when a boxer is clear about it he would do anything to achieve it, to see Crawford how everything has gone, in his training and everything could I clearly said that Crawford, even if his body fails him, will not give up, maybe Spence has a better level in every way right now, but sometimes the desire can overcome anything, and above all the perseverance that he has had Crawford, I'm sure he's not going to waste the opportunity around the world, plus Crawford is much more complete and wants to show what he's made of.

Maybe they are also on the process or discussion on how to maximize their profits and make the fight bigger than mega-fight as an undisputed fight is really rare to happen in the boxing industry, also, I happen to read somewhere that Spence's camp is asking for Crawford's camp to help Spence sell and market the fight as he couldn't carry all the load even if he is the king of PPV. Don't know if it's really true but both of them should really try to sell the fight even if they know that their fight is much anticipated.

They share the obligation but I'm curious since both fighters are top calibers and their names already have market value.

I don't see any needs of selling as in one formal announcement of this possible fight fans will be there to support, especially the gambling industry

Exerting more effort into the marketing will help them sell more, more PPV and gate entrance means more money, and probably more sponsorship as well. This is an anticipated fight and it could only happen once, so they have to take this opportunity to make more money.

In this case I think that the profits for both boxers should be high, regardless of the results that are given, the fans need to see this fight and put the respective bets on the table, both Crawford and Spence would not mind some good money, many say that the favorite is Spence, however I think that Crawford will not let himself win so easily, Crawford's preparation must be very hard because the statistics and probabilities are favoring Spence and obviously Crawford wants to change that vision, he wants to recover all his level and not only beat Spence, but also wants to win every fight that comes his way from here on out, but this fight is very important.
