Well. The proof is plain to see.
Starting to doubt it ever happens at all.

Andre Ward chimed in on this fight recently and made a couple of good points.
Basically my takeaway from his [Andre's] comments were that he thought Spence was in the stronger position at this point in his career and could understand why he wouldn't want the Crawford fight right now.
Spence has fights in stadiums, Errol can draw decent crowds and do ppv's.
That said, Ward left me with a very strong impression that like us he too really wants to see this fight happen.
I'm not doing a good job of explaining his position but it was something like that.

To be fair, I could post a video of GGG’s pre-fight Kell Brook press conference of him saying there’s no point in him leaving 160lbs, because that’s where the biggest fights and best payday’s are.
Yet Canelo is accused of running scared, because he’s choosing to remain at 168lbs for the very same reason.
However, Canelo is ridiculed but GGG is praised.
The only reason why I keep mentioning GGG, is to illustrate double-standards being applied by Canelo’s critics (or Golovkin’s fans).
In this scenario, I’m not actually criticising GGG himself, but I am pointing out the ridiculous conduct of his fans.
You seem to think Boxing fans can't respect both GGG and Canelo at the same time. Maybe that's just you.
hahaha so true. so, so true. and i love how he plays the wounded martyr on Canelo's behalf, over all these non-existent accusations.
