Comments Thread For: Porter on Facing Conor Benn: I Don't Think There's Much To Gain For Me

[Bronx2245]

Porter waiting on Crawford, which I doubt happens! He's not getting a rematch w/ Spence b/c he's going to fight Ugas for the WBA "Super" title! So what's he gonna do? I think he should seek one of the YGs: Ortiz or Boots! I would advise him to call Oscar ASAP! Haymon gave him the green light to talk to Arum, so I don't see why he couldn't talk to Oscar? Vergil would be better for the pockets, and better for his health, than fighting Boots, but Boots would be easier to make!

He turned down $2M to fight Crawford, so he better not be fighting anyone else for less money. Oh wait, he won't be offered anything close to $2M to fight another opponent. I like Porter, but he's painting himself into a tight corner.

I've seen a $1 Million Dollar offer for Crawford, never saw $2 Million! You have a link?

He was quoted in an interview that he would not accept a $2M to fight Crawford, that it would be an insult. I have to wonder how much he really thinks he is worth.

“I understand the business of boxing at this point, and to even begin negotiations at $2 million is an insult, and everybody in the sport of boxing knows the welterweight division is the hottest division in boxing,” said Shawn Porter.

Wait, why is this fight even a thing? Why would Porter or anyone of that stature face Benn next anyways? What am I missing here?

He only got $2 Million for Errol Spence Jr.! I think he's comparing himself to what Khan and Brook, and wants an offer similar to them! I'll be gald when Pacquiao makes his choice! Manny has the division paralyzed!

Truth be told, Porter would maul
him in such a way that I think his career would suffer from the prolonged physical drubbing he would get. Porter is exactly right, Benn is a baby and Porter has been at the championship level for nearly a decade

Yes, completely agree. Thanks.
