Stephen Espinoza has provided an update on the bout between Terence Crawford and Errol Spence Jr.
A matchup between the two has been discussed for years, but has never come to frution. Discussions between the champions heated up after Crawford left his promotional team, Top Rank, earlier this year.
Spence Jr. recently called 'Bud' out after his knockout win over Yordenis Ugas last month. With there being reports that a showdown between the two is in the works, we now have an update from the head of Showtime Boxing.
Stephen Espinoza discussed the fight between the two in an interview with FightHype. He noted that the biggest concern with the fight happening right now is whether or not it is financially viable.
"It's got to be a financially viable fight. So, it's a big fight. Is it Mayweather vs. Pacquiao? No, it's not, very few things are. But, if people are looking for Mayweather [and] Pacquiao money, then it's a problem. But, if people are realistic in getting the fight done, then a deal can be made. That's the issue right now."

"I think it will happen this year... It’s a huge fight for both of us. I don’t see any stumbling blocks. I want it. He want it. I got three belts, he got one belt. That’s the only belt I need to become Undisputed Welterweight Champion of the world. That’s been something I’ve been very adamant about doing, so we’re gonna get it done.”
