According to , both men are guaranteed to earn eight figures from the fight that will be broadcast on Showtime pay-per-view.
There is also a bidirectional rematch clause in place, which either Crawford or Spence can trigger within 30 days of the first fight and the rematch will have to happen before the end of 2023.

As is typical of boxing though, due to promotional politics, it ended up taking five years for the fight to get made, but now it is happening for all the marbles.
While Crawford holds the WBO world title, Spence is the WBC, WBA and IBF world champion at 147 lbs.
But 33-year-old Spence has not fought since April last year when he knocked out Yordenis Ugas.
As for Crawford, he stopped David Avanesyan in December last year, but at 35 years old it was vital for him that this fight with Spence got made before he went past his prime.
