# Eddie Hearn Predicts Spence – Crawford PPV Buys

Eddie Hearn has given his prediction on the pay-per-view numbers for a potential fight between Errol Spence and Terence Crawford –  and Hearn believes the numbers may not be as high as the two fighters have been led to believe.

Hearn told [Fight Hub TV](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zcPKSM5m6Qk&t=215s) that he would estimate an undisputed welterweight title fight between Spence and Crawford to do between 400,000 and 500,000 pay-per-view buys.

> “If I’m doing that fight \[Spence vs Crawford\], I’m budgeting the fight at between 400,000 – 500,000 buys. That’s where I’m comfortable to pay a guarantee.”
>
> “Now, the fighters think it does a million because someone in the gym told them that it does a million. But the reality is it doesn’t. It might do 600, it might do 700. But what if it does 350 – who’s gonna pay the price?”
>
> “With a split, that’s the greatest position for a promoter. You’ve got no guarantees and no risk, the fight does what it does and you get paid what you’re worth. But we live in a world in boxing where fighters don’t get paid what they’re worth, they get-aid a lot more than they’re actually worth – and good luck to them!”

Boxing fans were left disappointed recently after it became apparent that, despite a drawn out negotiation process, a fight between Spence and Crawford would NOT be happening next and that Crawford would be taking on European champion David Avanesyan instead.

[The break down in talks between the camps has resulted in both fighters blaming each other](https://wp.boxing-social.com/news/errol-spence-fires-back-at-crawford/) for the fight not happening, with Crawford posting a video where he claimed Spence’s promoter Al Haymon was responsible for the collapse in negotiations.
