Is Porter off standby?

[ShoulderRoll]

It’s been nine months.

You can’t hold a mandatory position hostage for a year because you don’t want to accept the 75-25 split.

This never happens.

But they were still talking as recently as 3 weeks ago. As per Bob Arum himself.

The WBO should have made an announcement about why they changed #1 contenders. The boxing media should at least be questioning them about it.

[Motorcity Cobra]

You’re asking me why he would activate his mandatory contender status when he was ranked number one?

So he wouldn’t lose his number one ranking to someone else.

Duh.

His talks with Arum are irrelevant.

His talks aren't irrelevant if they're negotiating in good faith. It's strange that the WBO would remove Porter from #1 even though he hasn't lost a fight.

I’m guessing he told the WBO that he’s going with the WBC mandatory.

He didn't tell them that. It's the WBO doing Whatever Bob Ordered

[ShaneMosleySr]

I’m glad we’ve all come up with a conspiracy theory to explain why Porter didn’t activate his mandatory.

Lol at acting like enforcing the mandatory is necessary here. Why do you need that? Even if Porter enforces the mandatory and Crawford fights Pacquiao, you think the WBO strips Crawford? Get the hell out of here.

It's okay, Crawford like Mikey and KingRy put their career on hold in hope of getting the Pacquiao fight. In the process, Mikey has not fought over a year, Ryan lost out on the Tank fight and Crawford may have lost out on the Porter fight. Now some BS report came out that Pacquiao vs Spence may happen....Um no need for Spence to pretend he has a chance of getting that fight.

Porter said he's coming back around June or July but hasn't heard anything from TR. Hopefully that changes soon and Arum can get back to Kenny and Shawn's team and try to get a deal done soon. Still have time to get it done.

I hope I never see Porter in a ring again. Excruciating to watch. Bud should be fighting someone exciting. Even Ortiz or Ennis would do the job. I'd even take Josesito Lopez before Porter.

The Boxing Gods should not subject us to Porter-Crawford.

[KTFOKING]

Feel bad for dudes like Red, tough game. But again, may have lost the Pacquiao fight, but can get a good fight for the summer time.

You're the one with a conspiracy theory about Porter telling the WBO to remove him. We all know the WBO is Bob's belt that's not a conspiracy theory that's a fact

[ShaneMosleySr]

I was speculating that Porter is going to take his WBC mandatory since he has just let the WBO mandatory go away.

You’re the one pretending Arum had Porter removed from his number one contender status, when we all know Porter didn’t activate the mandatory shot.
