they literally got in touch with dannys dad..lol....it was a farce....they didnt even really seriously make him an offer......porter saying he has the greenlight and crawford is backtracking like muhfkka right now
Indeed. He is not even attempting to entertain it. If he moves to 154 to challenge for that title he will be going through the path with the least resistance.
He is running out of excuses of fighting any notable 147 fighter. His next fight will be very telling. They said that they had offered Garcia a fight, were going to fight Collazo but fought Khan. A lot of double talk from that camp. Typical TR nonsense.

I read an article where he said the fight doesnt make sense for him now.
Basically heill be fightinf all Top Rank guys
We have to wait and see who he fights next. If he fights a better fighter then it’s ok but surely he can’t be fighting a no name person
he hasnt refused anything yet...until he announces a fight that isnt porter or isnt good(i cant imagine many good options that arent porter) than he hasnt refused anything
im willing to give the benefit of the doubt till then...but if he doesnt make a fight with porter its not going to look good
I see that some people have been running with the "Bud is ducking Porter" in the last week or so. Has Porter come out and explicitly asked for the fight?
This story went from: "Porter and Bud would consider the fight" to "Bud is ducking Crawford" real quick!
That being said, I definitely want to see this fight.
I think most people see the duck coming. Especially since Crawford allegedly talked to Hearn about fighting Mikey Garcia.
But yes...it's probably best to wait until Crawford officially ducks before crucifying him.
I just heard the interview where he said hes not interested now I understand why people are saying he ducked lol

I don't think this article exists except in your imagination.
I'm down with pushing for the fight, but yelling duck a week after he fought isn't really making sense.

Because now is the time to push for this fight.
Crawford just fought his mandatory and has nothing scheduled. And Shawn Porter has nothing scheduled either, plus he and his dad have publicly stated that they are willing and able to fight Crawford.

why are you guys doing everything in your power to force this narrative? Crawford just fought I doubt he and his team have went into any negotiations with team porter, things may have been said in the media but how n the hell is he ducking porter????

Yeah it's too soon to jump on TC just yet. Fight might get made still. Also if Porter wants more than Arum is willing to pay you can blame Porter for that or can blame Arum, but Crawford doesn't control every part of the negotiation.
People criticise Crawford for not facing great opposition at 135, 140, but he fought the best available there and has never avoided anybody
thats a whole 'nother mess.....
what is good/fair pay for porter? is it going to be ppv?
but you can guarantee that if crawford doesnt want the fight bob will play the "they asked for too much" angle to protect the image
porter probably ended up taking home at least 4 mil for the spence fight...at least.....so i dunno what people would deem fair for crawford
How long is Porter supposed to wait for him?
well i dont have the answer for that....but how long as it been a week or two? i mean....id say another few weeks without reaching out to porter to get talks started would be fair....like i said....im willing to give crawford the benefit of the doubt right now....
but the way hes been acting lately seems strange for sure
he hasnt refused anything yet...until he announces a fight that isnt porter or isnt good(i cant imagine many good options that arent porter) than he hasnt refused anything
