• Errol Spence Jr. and Terence Crawford engaged in a heated argument in 2018 at Chesapeake Energy Arena, sparking interest in a potential matchup between the two undefeated elite boxers.
• Despite being in their prime and at the top of the pound-for-pound list, the fight faced numerous obstacles due to the politics of boxing. Crawford was with Top Rank, and Spence was with PBC, two promotional companies that rarely worked together.
• In September of a certain year, it seemed like a deal for the fight was close, but negotiations collapsed at the last minute, and Spence appeared to be moving up to 154 pounds for a bout against Keith Thurman, potentially shelving the welterweight showdown with Crawford.
• However, Crawford took initiative and pushed the fight negotiations forward with a lengthy phone call in March, paving the way for the highly anticipated matchup.
• Spence believes this fight is crucial to determine the best fighter in the welterweight division and boxing overall.
• Although the revenue generated won't match the Mayweather-Pacquiao fight, both Spence and Crawford, in their athletic peak, are considered all-time greats.
• They will enter the ring with all major four welterweight titles on the line, with Spence holding the WBC, WBA, and IBF titles, and Crawford being the WBO champion.
• The fight is seen as happening at the right time, and Crawford acknowledges that having all the belts on the line adds even more significance to the bout.
• The journey to making Spence-Crawford happen was long and filled with obstacles, but it has finally come to fruition in Las Vegas.
