The most anticipated fight of the year is for the title of absolute welterweight champion and, perhaps, the leader P4P rating between American champions Terence Crawford (38-0, 29 KOs) and Errol Spence (28-0, 22 KOs) will be held on November 12 or 19 in Las Vegas (USA), reports
Fight Freaks Unite.
According to the source, the deal is close to completion. The event is expected to be held as part of the show from RVS Al Haymon on the pay-per-view system on Showtime PPV.
The fact that the negotiations are close to completion is allegedly evidenced, among other things, by the fact that work on the PPV undercard has already begun. It is known that as part of the paid card, the WBA World champion in the same weight, Eimantas Stanyonis (14-0, 9 KOs) from Lithuania, will perform. Rumor has it that he will face off against Cody Crowley (21-0, 9 KOs) from Canada.
Not all insiders note progress in negotiations for the Crawford vs Spence fight. Some argue that according to coach Terence Brian McIntyre, the fight is possible only if the distribution of the prize pool in it is in the ratio 50/50. It’s no secret that Spence’s market value is noticeably higher, and he also has more titles – WBC, WBA Super and IBF against Crawford’s WBO.
The other day it became known that the puncher is ready to replace if Crawford or Spence disrupt the fight. And top promoter Bob Arum (Top Rank) explained why this fight might not take place.
