Bud should be ashamed of himself for such blatant LYING!:liar: The nerve of this guy
Can anyone say with a straight face that Bud isn't the only reason this fight hasn't happened?
“I’ve been begging for a real challenge for years. All the so-called elite welterweights have shown no interest in fighting me. Now one of them is finally being forced to. I’ll show once again why I’m the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world. Be ready.”

Boxing scribes don't seem to care. They, and Bud fans, are content on his piss poor WW resume. Continue to anoint him the 2nd coming of SRL. Who in the FCK couldn't beat the WW's he did ?!?!?
They keep harping on his pre WW life. Always bring up future HOFer Postol
Bob said that the fight would be a 60/40 purse split. Porter has no where to go and has an opportunity to get another title. Crawford never mentions anyone and was content fighting for that easy UK money.
What have PBC got to gain if one of theirs fights Crawford? Nothing much really but they do have a lot to lose if one of theirs loses to Crawford, the value of the particular fighter to PBC will drop and so will his potential income. So all PBC have to do is pretend that they are trying to set something up with a hidden agenda to continue avoiding Crawford.
Why is this so hard to understand? I guess that conspiracy theories, rumour, tribalism and talk catch the attention while sense is just too hard.
On a more recent podcast, Shawn gave an update, saying he called Crawford and left a message and never heard back so he was moving on. Even though Porter has long said they're friends, it sounded like they're more acquaintances that are friendly when they cross each others paths.
Porter seemed to imply that he thinks Bud may be mad that Shawn and Kenny have been giving "updates" of the past negotiations through the podcast and the media.
Soon we'll see if these guys and their teams really want the fight.
It’s not a bad podcast at all. You could be right about Bud being upset that Shawn put some words out there. Appreciate you bro
On the Porter Way podcast Shawn said he was supposed to call Terrence to discuss the fight, and admitted to not doing so. It was a month or two ago. He said he was gonna call and felt semi at fault for not doing so when he said he would.

Any word from Showtime Porter yet and prove the title of this thread wrong?
Don't know why you keep bumping it and show nothing to prove it wrong.
Been waiting.
He was going to announce a fight on tuesday he said at Spence pac press conference),
he had done what true OG's do after being ducked,moved on to the next champ & rematch.(then he didn't announce anything because the WBO just told him since then hes mandatory)
It's stupid to rush to publish tweets so soon

Thats reaching... hard. Theres enough out there to know Espn/Bob Didn't want the fight under any circumstances.(their own executive tweetstormed everything & emptied his purse into the jungle sorta speak)
Even if what you are saying jives(it doesn't Because Porter/Keny Porter too have spoken many times about it,& that was after the timeframe your giving,Porter is friends with Bud & trys not to shame him,he never says someone ducked him,hes just that way)
Go to YouTube and search Porter Way Podcast and Shawn does a good job of explaining everything.
Kenny might live vicariously through Shawn, but he doesn’t own his thoughts brother

What is this everything Porter did to make the fight?
If you ain't up on things,Espn confirmed everything kenny Porter said was true,Espn made Porter zero offers & didn't want the fight at all cost(despite Porter basically begging for the fight)
Bob already said hes negotiating with Porters ppl/Pbc & wants joint ppv. So no I don't think he swerves Bud, BUT if he does go through with Ugas rematch it shows what kind of ppl you guys are if you label that a duck.
Same ppl claiming thats a duck backed Buds ducking of Porter,& have been saying that Ugas got robbed & deserves a rematch. Ugas is champ of a better belt,& is a rematch,Porter had no idea Bud would suddenly find his balls one day outta shame from Spence v Pac & potentially Porter v Ugas on horizon.
Porter had said he was moving on when he did everything to make the fight & was ducked.
You UK cats hate on Porter just because hes with Pbc,hes not a protected black champion.

Sounds like you're expecting Porter to swerve the fight and already have all your excuses lined up

Many UK cats hate on Porter just because hes with Pbc,hes not a protected black champion like others. I don't think Porter swerves Bud though, he'll make more v Bud.
Ahh so if Porter ignores this and goes elsewhere then you are good with that. Yet you will continue to call Crawford a ducker. You on the PBC payroll cuz it will once again be another shining example of the PBC game plan at Welter. Porter never wanted it, he never chased up his mando while he was talking his money chit and now the WBO have called it anyway he seemed surprised but not particularly happy to get this shot and you seem as aware as me that he may well not even take it.
Here we go again. And yes I hate the PBC cuz of this type of BS.
How can you not know all that ShaneMoselySr troll narrative has already been proven complete bs?:thinking: The WBO proved I was right all along when I said y'all were spreading some bs narratives about"needing to fill out the form,need to aktivate da mando doe"
I told all of you then that the WBO rules tell you clearly Porter had nothing to do with Ortiz becoming#1,& he can't fill out that form until hes hes been designated the mandatory by WBO decree,then & only then can he fill out the form that makes it go to purse bid (which he will now be able to do if Bud/Bob play games,just as I said all along & the WBO press release on this site makes clear was correct)
This is complete bs,but no surprise you HATE pbc..Porter never negotiated through the media,he was angling for Bud/Bob to treat him fairly with the respect he deserved (because they were blatantly giving him the run-around & ducking).(as WBO just proved by ordering the fight 60-40%)
Bud ducked Porter for over a year,if he decides to go through with the rematch with Ugas as he already had lined up before Bud found his balls,because Bud ducked him....then thats up to him. Ugas has a better title than Bud & Porter would get lions share. (Porter already confirmed"clock starts ticking now" he isn't scared of cherrypicking Bud,Porters arguably beaten the #1 ww already):boxing:

Lol he doesn't negotiate through the media??? You gotta be kidding. All he been talking about is how much he should get paid and how much other fighters got paid and so on. He had no shortage of mouth.
Chances are he's guna duck this cuz it was never part of the PBC plan. The actual plan was to try to keep Crawfords resume at 147 as weak as possible cuz that is their target for their attacks on him and TopRank.
Forgot to add, even if you think most Pbc fighters are ducks(agreed to some degree) then you can't deny Porter has never fell into that class, hes always been the lifeblood to the sport like Austin Trout, he'll fight anyone anytime(Austin Trout is an atg jmw to me just like Porter at ww(they fight everyone over entire career just like Canelo,win or lose they don't duck,they want all the smoke back to back, Showtime is among my favorite fighters for that reason)
