Crawford Lowballing Shawn Porter With $2 million Offer Because He's Scared...

People are using the "pandemic" excuse to justify why Shawn Porter should be offered only $2 million when Crawford himself has said he refuses to take a pay cut because of the pandemic. That's a bit hypocritical isn't it? Don't expect Porter to take a pay cut when you won't take a pay cut yourself... If you're this big A side fighter like you claim you are then you should be giving your opponents their biggest paydays like Canelo and Pacman right? Crawford offer Danny Garcia $3 million dollars coming off a loss to who? A loss to Shawn Porter ironically... Crawford offered Khan $5 million. Both Danny Garcia and Khan were not Champions so that "Porter doesn't have a belt" excuse is dead No more excuses, It's time for the fans to admit Crawford is a protected fighter that doesn't want to risk his 0 against a top 5 welterweight unless their is a life changing payday coming his way. https://i.imgflip.com/4y1a5r.jpg

You mean how much he made to fight Spence? $2 million plus ppv upside which mean he got much more than $2 million. Probably 4 or 5 million. The difference is Bob doesnt think Thurman or Porter vs Crawford are ppv fights so Porter would only get a $2 million flat fee. That's insane know that he offered Khan $5 million with ppv upside and offered Danny $3 million with ppv upside. Their ppv made 18.75 M /250k buys, half goes to cable/tv provider so that's 9.5m Porter maybe pocketed another Mil at best. 2-3 million is a pipe dream.

Personally, I think the Thurman, Garcia, Porter, Spence fights were kind of boring. Yeah, they're all skilled and throw a lot of punches, but they're all who cares guys. Like zero charisma and faux rivalries. Crawford is boring too. I think the Tank, Garcia, Teo, Haney group have real personality and are real rivals. I can actually cheer for someone. Whereas the above mentioned group are like the same 5 guys with different names. With that said, who really cares about two boring guys like Porter and Crawford and another fight exactly like the fights that have already happened between this group.

Splitting hairs. Either way, Porter can’t make $2M anywhere else. I like him, but he is lucky to make a million going forward. Wrong he can get it in the Spence rematch because he Spence mandatory too

2 Million sounds fair to me, what's the issue? Do we really think Shawn Porter should be getting 3-5 Million a fight? They can't even put fans in most arenas, how are they paying for these purses? I like Porter but if he passes on 2 million and a chance to knock off one of the best in the game, it's a shame.

$2 million is a lowball now. In these pandemic times. Are you real fans or waterboys of these fighters? Disgusting part to me is the opportunity to beat a top p4p plus a title on the line no longer have any value. It's just like fighting a nobody. What a god-forsaken sport.

Bull****! You can’t depend on US fans like you can UK fans. Ohio ain’t coming out for Porter. $2 million in a pandemic without a title is generous. The Spence fight isn’t happening so it doesn’t matter if he fights Porter or not. His legacy is set, y’all just don’t respect the champs he dusted, I do. That brook fight was scammed out of Arum, he thought he would be able to sell that fight to Sky sports or BT sport. Hence why Team Brook were able to get 2m. Porter as the mandatory should get his promoter to get the fight on his side of the street. People need to STFU about wanting Arum to overpay Porter. If porter wants more money then get his promoter to do a purse bid and put 10M on the fight.

Brook received 2 million and he hadn't competed in the welterweight division in years. Plus many felt that Crawford was going to win that fight easily. Not the same with Porter. On top of that, Crawford-Porter is a fight that people are in demand for. Porter wants to be paid for that level of demand. Bull****! You can’t depend on US fans like you can UK fans. Ohio ain’t coming out for Porter. $2 million in a pandemic without a title is generous. The Spence fight isn’t happening so it doesn’t matter if he fights Porter or not. His legacy is set, y’all just don’t respect the champs he dusted, I do.

Who sold more ppvs when they fought Spence. Porter or Danny? Splitting hairs. Either way, Porter can’t make $2M anywhere else. I like him, but he is lucky to make a million going forward.

People stop choosing promoters over fighters.Just because you dont like a company doesnt mean you dont like the fighter. But overall this politics of boxing is getting annoying .Ufc are making the biggest fight they can we need to take notes

Bud scared of Porter??? Come on man, Bud would beat the breaks off of Porter.

$2 million guaranteed plus ppv percentage. He got much more than $2 million. Come with a better excuse The guarantee was 2 million dollars for Spence and it was a unification. Now porter is being offered 2 million as a mandatory. That's 100% a fair offer. And dont bring up percentages from the ppv because you don't have the facts on how much extra he made.
