Re: SPENCE vs CRAWFORD
And that card is stacked too. I just saw a report that the UFC made over 350mil from profits last year, and they paid their fights %16 of their annual income for that year. Spence and Crawford about to make 8 figured each just based on name value. The UFC fighter needs a union lolTheSickness316 wrote: ↑Thu May 25, 2023 4:23 pm And this is happening the same night as UFC 291 Poirier vs. Gaethje 2
Re: SPENCE vs CRAWFORD
You have to wonder about the intelligence of these clowns running boxing. Why not the week before or the week after the UFC event? WTF??

At best do it the week before, because the week after is WWE Summerslam. But yeah, you'd think they'd look this shit up before hand.
Re: SPENCE vs CRAWFORD
No one has pulled out yet, and it's been a week lol

They recently started doing PPV on Saturday last year. And I love that they started doing that.the13r wrote: ↑Wed Jun 07, 2023 5:56 pmAren't the WWE PPVs on Sundays? Just asking...

I'm not surprised at all. Not the 1st time boxing has done this. You'd think they'd learn their lesson, but they haven't.
If Boxing was ran the UFC way (like W. Sauerland & Don King) we'd still get stacked PPVs that would sell.
Re: SPENCE vs CRAWFORD
Spence is right, Crawford has had the best match makers in boxing. I would say Spence had a harder time with Brook and Porter, because they were champions at the time and were in their primes when they fought. TC had Porter at the end of his career, and Brook was way past his prime and got stopped on a jab lol
Re: SPENCE vs CRAWFORD
Spence fought Brook less than a year after Brook muscled up to 160, got his eye socket crushed and a plate put into his face. Surely you are not giving much credit to that fight.Based wrote: ↑Wed Jun 14, 2023 12:17 pm Spence is right, Crawford has had the best match makers in boxing.

Re: SPENCE vs CRAWFORD
I give it credit to Spence because Brook fought really well, and even fought well against GGG, until the round he got stopped in. GGG really didnt put a beating on him, that fight was stopped early because they knew GGG was gonna eat him alive. After his loss to Spence, he was lackluster in all his fights.

Re: SPENCE vs CRAWFORD
And Spence broke the other side of his face. Spence went to Brook's hometown, and beat a FAR better version of Brook than the one that Crawford fought. There's no debating that.Spence fought Brook less than a year after Brook muscled up to 160, got his eye socket crushed and a plate put into his face.

Even if Kell's face was fine, which obviously it wasn't, the fact that Kell had fought at 160 less than 12 months before he met Spence at 147, makes your statement absurd.

Re: SPENCE vs CRAWFORD
You thinking that a guy, who had both sides of his face crushed by GGG and Spence...was better 3 years later, after fighting 3 fights at 154, and went down to face Crawford at 147...is absurd.No debating that??

Just think about what you're saying....
Re: SPENCE vs CRAWFORD
To me, under the circumstances, it wasn't advisable for Kell to even take the Spence fight so soon. When you think about that, I don't know how you can disagree but apparently you do.Hillsinitialrebirth wrote: ↑Fri Jun 16, 2023 10:48 amYou thinking that a guy, who had both sides of his face crushed by GGG and Spence...was better 3 years later, after fighting 3 fights at 154, and went down to face Crawford at 147...is absurd.No debating that??

Re: SPENCE vs CRAWFORD
What will Spence try to impose, how, what's his most efficient game Vs Crawford?
Same for Crawford?

Re: SPENCE vs CRAWFORD
Yeah no many picking Spence
Re: SPENCE vs CRAWFORD
I think Spence is going to do what he does, and thats control his distance, work off the jab and not run into anything big. Spence cant KO Crawford with one punch, hes a grinder, Crawford is the one with that kind of power. Crawford start slow and finishes strong, because he takes his time to read his opponents offense to effectively counter him after he figures their attack out,
