Porter just ducked Crawford hard

[ShaneMosleySr]

All Porter had to do was write the WBO and request to become the mandatory.

He didn’t do that.

No need to make up a conspiracy theory about how the WBO is working to screw Porter over.

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.

[ShaneMosleySr]

Arum didn’t control whether or not the fight got made.

Porter was the number one contender. He was in control of the fight being made. He decided not to do it.

porter will beat bud.. it's arum who killed the fight.. he's afraid to lose his boy bud and get his 1st loss from a legit fighter.

he was controlling it by cheapening the pay for porter..

[ShaneMosleySr]

Nope not true.

Porter was entitled to 25-percent of the total purse.

he was controlling it by cheapening the pay for porter..

I thought Crawford was fighting Pacquiao? What happened to that big announcement from Arum? Isn’t OP the guy puffing his chest telling people to STFU about Crawford now that he was fighting Pac Man?

[ShaneMosleySr]

The negotiations fell through.

Nice attempted deflection from the fact that PBC fighters are ducking Crawford.

Crawford ducked the entire PBC Welterweight stable by signing with Top Rank. He ran into Arum’s arms so he only had to take weak fights to end his prime.

[ShaneMosleySr]

This is still your narrative after Danny Garcia and Shawn Porter chose not to fight for Crawford’s title when they where ranked number one in the WBO rankings?

Im sorry he didn’t pick your favorite promoter.

Favorite promoter? I don’t give two ****s about a promoter.
Crawford knew what Top Ranks WW division was and that Arum doesn’t play nice with other promoters. He made that choice. Now even Arum says he’s losing money on Bud.
He’s going to be just another “what if” fighter when he’s done at this rate. Easily forgotten. He’s afraid to push his team to make the fights we want to see. He’s content just riding out his prime taking no risks.

[ShaneMosleySr]

Again, this narrative makes absolutely no sense considering Danny Garcia and Shawn Porter didn’t take their mandatory shots.

You can’t blame Top Rank when the PBC fighters don’t even try to fight for the title.
