Maybe crawfords is a dumb coward or whatever. I do this sort of thing for a living (not for sports although ive reviewed aports contracts for fun) and his request is very reasonable. Its negligence in my opinion NOT to have it in place

Hes right on fiduciary duty as well regarding haymon

Its like floyd with manny. Maybe it was all a tactic but it was entirely reasonable to require drug testing and mannys needle excuse was nonsense

Not happening ever.

He wanted an independent accountant to make sure he wasnt going to get screwed since he agreed to no guatantee

Its a very reasonable and easy request. I dont think that is out of line id ask for the same thing.

Crawford is a p*ssy.

Biggest waste of talent in the history of Boxing.

At one time he was one of my favorite fighters. Now, I wouldn't even shake his hand if I met him.

He's not a p*ssy, he's just dumb not to make concessions for the sake of a contract, which opens big opportunities.

I disagree. A fighter who's legacy is finding new and creative ways to keep ducking his career defining fight is a p*ssy.

I'm beginning to feel that way.

Spence is looking at 154 and if he does jump, he ain't coming back down.

OK, Crawford could potentially do the same, but it wouldn't mean the same.

If they couldn't fight at 147 when they both held all 4 major belts between them, what would be the point at 154 with no trinkets to show for it?

Really frustrating state of affairs that just dents my faith in boxing.

Or like Brook and Khan, only happens after it doesn't matter.

So now Crawford gonna sign with a one of the worst promotions?

There are bad ones, worse ones and the worst ones.

neither guy has wanted it badly enough

Two overly entitled princesses.
They don't even realise most boxing fans are over it by now.

I don’t think GBP are that bad. Single out a few boxers they do a decent job.

Rocha wants Crawford..

maybe that's why TC was at GBP offices.

Showtime Head on Making Spence-Crawford: I'm Not Gonna Give Up Until Both of Them Are Retired

Stephen Espinoza says he will not stop trying to make Errol Spence Jr. vs Terence Crawford so long as both fighters are active.

In a recent interview on the Boxing with Chris Mannix Podcast, Espinoza, the president of Showtime Sports, offered some measured optimism as it relates to cutting a deal between the two fighters for the undisputed welterweight championship.

Boxing fans were greeted with disappointing news at the end of last year when Spence and Crawford, who had been in what seemed like promising negotiations, failed to consummate a deal. Crawford went his own way, deciding to face David Avanesyan in December; Crawford won by sixth-round technical knockout.

Spence, who as a result of the bungled talks only fought once last year, is expected to return to the ring later in the spring, presumably against Keith Thurman in a fight that could take place at the 154-pound limit.

Spence, 33, is backed by Al Haymon of Premier Boxing Champions, which has an exclusive output deal with Showtime, while Crawford, 35, is a free agent.

Recently, there have been indications that Crawford could possibly link up with Oscar De La Hoya’s Golden Boy Promotions. Crawford is reportedly in talks with the company to fight Alexis Rocha. Last week, BS.com reported that the WBO formally ordered that bout.

Despite that development, Espinoza was “more optimistic than not” in seeing a Spence-Crawford fight, if not next, then sometime down the line. Espinoza stated unequivocally that he would not stop trying to find a way to make the fight work, so long as both fighters remain

“I would say six and a half (out of ten),” Espinoza said when asked to put a number on Spence-Crawford happening. “I think I’m more optimistic than not that it does happen. I know there’s still interest. I know there’s still a desire on the Spence side. I believe Crawford when he says he’s interested as well. As long as no one has given up, and I don’t think anyone has, there are certainly obstacles. The Rocha [fight] the sanctioning body ordered being one of them.

“But I’m not gonna give up. I’m not gonna give up until either one of them or both of them are retired.”

Errol Spence vs Terence Crawford reportedly finally set to happen on June 17 in Las Vegas

Errol Spence vs Terence Crawford is reportedly now finally set to take place for the undisputed welterweight world titles on June 17 in Las Vegas.

According to Ring Magazine, the fight between WBA, WBC and IBF champion Spence and WBO champion Crawford is now made with an announcement expected to come during Gervonta Davis vs Ryan Garcia on April 22.

It is believed the official announcement will be made at the Gervonta Davis-Ryan Garcia fight on April 22.

You can't always get what you want (Fury vs Usyk) instead you get what you need Spence Crawford. At least this is a fight that can justify being $85. It will be what, 100?

Nah, this is only the 140th rumor in the last 6 months. If it doesn't get atleast 10 more announchments, and if the targeted day isn't 2 weeks away, I'm not gonna believe it.

I don't even care about this fight anymore.
The last months took alot out of it.

Let's face it, the fight wont happen LOL

They're going to announce it at Davis v Garcia in 18 days time ?
Let me see it.
Buys Spence and Crawford 8 weeks to the opening bell.
They know they have to do this now surely.
