Shawn Porter: Still Waiting On Crawford, Don't Know If He Wants It

[Combat Talk Radio]

Funny thing: Porter says June for his return. Same as Crawford.

He should have activated his mandatory.

Now he won’t get the fight.

This is crunch time for Top Rank. If Crawford doesn't accept a Porter or Keef fight, it can only be described as a duck. And that's a shame, because Crawford is getting left in the dust.

Yeah this makes no sense?

I actually have coverage on that, I'm posting it separately.

I can’t wait to read how it’s Terence Crawford’s fault that Shawn Porter refused to accept his mandatory position.

I just posted it.

Unfortunately, while I respect what Shawn's doing or trying to do, his reasoning is frankly BS. I think he's hoping Crawford will help a brotha out like Floyd helped Berto out - and based on what I've seen of Bud, I don't see that fight happening.

Which means we have to hope Ortiz says F it and forces mandatory because he wants to be great.

Can enforce the WBO to make him a mandatory. If they get that, then get his powerful backer Al Haymon to bring the fight over to sho, or use it to get a new deal with FOX. Then unify with Spence after the Ugas fight.

[DaNeutral.]

It's simple. Porter wants over paying (if he even really wants it at all) and Top Rank are ignoring him waiting for him to call in the mandatory so he can be underpaid at 25%.

I hear Porter has lost his position now anyway, that's 2 PBC fighters in a row that have let their chance to be mandatory pass them by.

Personally I don't think the PBC wants any of their top fighters losing to Crawford, it seems to be better to just keep Crawfords resume looking lame and trying to make him look irrelevant to heighten Spence name and position of power.

Spence has been the one Crawford really wanted and look how hard Spence ran. Bloody PBC cult is really bad for Boxing at times.
