WBC/WBO/WBA welterweight champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. (48-0, 26KOs) has rejected the idea of facing former beltholder Shawn Porter (26-1-1, 16KOs) in the fall.
Mayweather is set to return on September 12th at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Last night at the MGM, Porter won a twelve round unanimous decision over Mayweather's close friend Adrien Broner.
The last man to beat Broner, in December 2013, was Marcos Maidana. He was rewarded with two pay-per-view fights against Mayweather in 2014.
But Porter will not be as lucky as Maidana.
."No, no [that fight with Porter won't happen]," Mayweather said. "He can fight on my undercard, in September."
Porter is not looking for an undercard spot, he wants Mayweather in the main event.
“I’m not looking for any more Mayweather undercards,” Porter said. “We were looking to get on the Mayweather-Pacquiao undercard. That didn’t happen. Now I’m not looking at watching him fight after I fight. I’m looking at fighting him.”
