In the highly-anticipated July 29 competition between two undefeated welterweight fighters, Errol Spence Jr. and Terence Crawford will be going head-to-head in a must-see pound-for-pound showdown for the undisputed title of welterweight champion.
The welterweight division is known by sports fans to hold the best of the best in professional boxing. Spence Jr. — who holds the IBF, WBA and WBC titles — will take on Crawford’s WBO belt for the welterweight crown relinquished by Canelo Alvarez last year. Crawford is currently ESPN‘s No. 1 pound-for-pound fighter, but he will have to defend that in his toughest fight yet, Errol Spence Jr., in what both have called an “old-school fight.”
These two of the closest-watched fighters in boxing are taking on each other at last, and sports fans know that the competition will make for the best that boxing events could offer. That’s why G&G Closed Circuit Events, which owns the buys distribution rights to this event, is offering adult nightclub owners the pay-per-view, and more, to pack their clubs with.
ExoticDancer.com spoke with President of G&G, Nick Gagliardi, to get his take on the import of this epic “Super Fight” and find out how club owners can show the showdown live in their clubs!
ED: G&G Closed Circuit Events always promotes fights, so why is Errol Spence Jr. vs. Terence Crawford special? What makes a “Super Fight”?
Gagliardi: The fight is really significant on a multitude of levels: we’ve got two of the the top pound-for-pound fighters in the world and both of them are in top five, if not the top two, for their weight class; they’re both undefeated champions; but the biggest thing that makes it boxing history is that one fighter will be crowned the first undisputed welterweight champion ever in boxing and the reason that’s so significant is that the welterweight division has been a darling division of boxing for the last 15-20 years, and when you think of some of the welterweight champions — the likes of Floyd Mayweather, Manny Pacquiao, Oscar De La Hoya, Julio César Chávez Sr. — some of the greatest names in boxing were never able to accomplish this feat, which really makes this quite a special night for boxing and sports fans in general.
The term “Super Fight” denotes a match between elites: top guy versus top guy. In this case, both Errol Spence Jr. and Terence Crawford are at the top of their game.
ED: Speaking to a club owner, what makes ordering this event a good investment?
Gagliardi: What makes this such a great investment for club owners is that it allows them to invite current customers and new customers alike for a showcase of their establishment and what they have to offer in their community. Whether it’s a gentlemen’s club, a bar or restaurant, a fight of this nature provides owners the opportunity to showcase everything that their establishment has to offer a wide range of customers in their community as far as the great drinks they serve, the finger foods, environment and ambiance. It’s an opportunity to bring people in and show them why they should come back.

ED: How has the response from club owners been so far compared to other fights this year?
Gagliardi: The response so far has been very good. People know this is just a super huge fight that they really don’t want to miss out on. It’s to me the biggest fight that we’ve seen since Pacquiao vs. Mayweather with what’s at stake, what these two have both accomplished and what it means for the winner of the fight.
ED: How do club owners order this event, and what is the deadline?
Gagliardi: Our staff is available from early in the morning to late in the evening to help owners procure the fight for their establishment. We take orders up until the fight starts, but I like to let people know that have cable that cable really needs to be ordered a week before the event or at the very start of the fight week.
ED: Because it’s a fight, we have to ask, Who do you have your money on? And why?
Gagliardi: I love both fighters and I’ve been watching them both since the very beginnings of their careers. But for this fight, I give the edge to Errol Spence. His resume’s a little more decorated with the fighters that he has faced — they seem to be a little bit higher level of competition, but he’s got such a big punch and has been able to adjust to a lot of different styles, so that’s why I give him the edge.
ED: Well, we’ll have to wait for the fight to see who takes home the title of undisputed welterweight world championship.
The highly-anticipated Spence vs. Crawford welterweight world championship fight will be July 29, 8pm ET/5pm PT streamed live from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
