Terence Crawford vs Errol Spence Jr

[Master]

Terence Crawford's magnificent victory over Errol Spence has proved to be a financial success.

The long-awaited super fight delivered in the ring with Crawford producing a brilliant performance.

And it appears to have also delivered from a business perspective.

According to American journalist Dan Rafael, the fight did at least 650,000 USA PPV buys.

Priced at $85 on Showtime, this means it generated upwards of $55million in revenue from PPV money alone.

It's also been reported that the gate revenue (money from ticket sales) for the fight in Las Vegas surpassed $21million.

When all is said and done, Spence and Crawford will reportedly each earn purses upwards of $25million.

Boxing supporters reacted positively to this news, indicating the success of an event which showcased the best fighting the best.

I hate this line of commentary from Spence fans because he got his ass handed to him. Spence lost, fair and square... This is just embarrassing now.

The epilogue episode was very good. First time I have seen that type of episode, normally it is all pre-fight hype but this was very well made and really informative.

Crawford was calm throughout the event and calculated during the fight. Whereas Spence looked lethargic, probably from being weight drained and staying at the weight too long.

Crawford goading Charlo was interesting to see and shows how easy he found the bout. Terence must have been pleasantly surprised at how easy the fight was for him.

I watched it too. Showtime is putting up HBO type content.

That was funny
The best excuse I heard was
Spence lost because he didn't get a haircut
He never lost with the buzz cut

Spence fans are quite the spectacle of shame. I am shocked by how hard they are taking this. lolol... There are scores of videos on YouTube explaining everything from the car crash to Crawford having loaded gloves. Quite shameful stuff.

Terence Crawford is well aware of the viral clip of Gervonta Davis vowing to put "Bud" to sleep if the two ever fight at 147 pounds.

To that, the newly-crowned welterweight champion of the world believes "Tank" should tread lightly.

"Well, he's just talking. He's got the confidence in himself that he believes he can do that, because he's been knocking all these fighters out that he's been in the ring with," Crawford began explaining on "The Breakfast Club" on Thursday.

"No knock to 'Tank,' but there's definitely levels and if he comes up to 147 and he's thinking he's just going to knock Terence Crawford out, he's got another thing coming."

Crawford did confirm that he'd be willing to stay at welterweight a little longer just to wait for Davis, who would be moving up from 135 pounds, as a "Bud" vs. "Tank" bout would be a "big money fight."

But he's not so sure that it would benefit him legacy-wise.

"And then what?" Crawford added, referring to if he'd beat Davis. "Everybody's gonna say he was too small. Nobody gonna give me credit. They're gonna say 'oh man, you beat up a little guy that fights at 135.'"

"What kind of recognition am I gonna get for beating up on 'Tank'?"

This stuff with guys talking about hoping divisions like they were afterthoughts and normal is really getting silly. In 24 hours so many run with Bud going everywhere from Canelo to Tank . Tank has zero, zip, nata business chumming a 147 fight with a man who is looking completely North at 154. Fans need to stop being so friggin gullible and easy . The man would be as wide as he is tall ffs!

Lesson learned with Jermell who basically jumped at the first lotto for a fight he’ll likely lose, physically and title wise, and managed to delay if not entirely prevent a perfectly natural mega fight with now p4p fully unified Crawford coming to his house.
