    Porter just ducked Crawford hard

    Porter was the WBO mandatory since August 2020 and could have forced Crawford to fight him.

    He chose not too and has now lost his mandatory position.

    Its worth noting that the WBO mandatory before Porter was Danny Garcia, who also never took advantage of his mandatory position to force a Crawford fight.

    Kind of hurts the PBC fanboy nonsense logic that Crawford won’t fight the PBC fighters.

    Two of them could have forced Crawford fights and decided to just duck him instead.

    Yep, he said even a $2 million offer would be an insult. As if he could even earn half of that against any other opponent now.

      Let’s wait for the PBC fans to explain this one.

      They won’t though. They’ll just try to ignore it.

        The opportunity to beat and expose the highly hyped Crawford doesn't even have value in this effing sport.
        I thought that's what this sport is all about. Fight the best and the money will follow.

          Porter called out the wrong guy if he wants a big money fight. Arum is cheap as fck, he’s not going to give him the money he’s looking for to fight Crawford.

          If all he wants is big money, might as well fight some Youtube star on Triller. Or have a circus fight. Fans aren’t going to pay big money to see two real pro boxers in the ring even though they complain about the circus fights.

            He was entitled to the 75-25 split and he would have taken it if he thought he could win.

              Porter ducked Crawford??? The Porters spoke to both Crawford and Arum, and they got nowhere. Lowball offers and insulting proposals.

              Apparently the OP doesn't remember Arum saying that Porter should get only $1m for the Crawford fight, and he was very clear that the offer wouldn't increase. But tell me again that Arum and Crawford want the fight. Clearly they don't.

              The WBO is controlled by Top Rank. WBO has favored Top Rank fighters for years. Expecting the WBO to enforce a mandatory against Top Rank and Crawford is pure fantasy.

                Lack of balls probably. Afraid to duplicate what Teofimo and Kambosos did. Where they didn't have to blame Arum or any of that crap.
