Crawford Wants To Fight Spence

https://www.denverpost.com/2015/10/23/terence-crawford-fights-his-way-back-to-omaha-as-boxing-champ/

Undefeated Omaha world welterweight champion Terence Crawford wants to fight unbeaten Dallas-area Errol Spence Junior next.  Crawford owns the WBO belt, while Spence owns the IBF 147-pound title.  Bob Arum of Top Rank and Crawford's promoter says he will try to make that match, which boxing fans are clamoring to see.  Arum has offered a 50-50 financial split.  The problem is Spence is promoted by Al Haymon's Premier Boxing Champions.  Haymon rarely does business with Arum.  ESPN has a TV contract with Crawford, while Fox and Showtime have TV rights with Spence, making it more complicated.  Crawford challenged Spence after stopping Amir Khan in six rounds Saturday at Madison Square Garden.
