Figured Bud would have to beat up another couple scrubs in the Grand Island Elk's club parking lot before he'd show some cajones

I always thought it was more of a money issue - Spence getting a healthy majority of the payout and Crawford was getting peanuts.

I think a lot of it was Crawford tried to DIY the negotiations for the biggest fight of his career and he is much less of a draw than Spence so he wasn't exactly bargaining from a position of strength. Seems like whatever the sticking points were last time whoever got them into a room figured out how to hammer it out in a way that everyone wins

What's funny to me about you saying Crawford is much less of a draw (and I tend to agree), is that even down here in Spence's neighborhood, people get just as hyped for Crawford fights. Probably because they've been on a collision course for each other for way too long, but he's well respected and I think DFW will be BUZZING for this fight

If you like boxing at all, you're thrilled the fight got made.

Spence finally stop ducking.... for now....

Heard from someone on TBC team that there is still a chance it may not happen... I'm not sure if that was just pettiness or legit though

I will tell you, people down here won't agree to things unless they are gonna get MF PAID. Spence won't sign a DAMN thing unless he is taking the lion's share of the cut.
