I think Porter was negotiating with good faith but has no pull with wbo(wbo hates pbc,Pbc has discredited them & said their not recognizing them as legit belt, they'd never force Bud vs Porter unless it screwed pbc) Porter is worth more than 25%, that's bs from Bud. It shows he doesn't want to fight Porter period imho if he wants Porter to take 25% in purse bid Haymon would never pay for.
Fact is the WBO saw what Porter was doing, he wanted to use his ranking to play the PBC politics (As he alluded to in this video), and since he wasn’t asking the WBO to enforce his high ranking, they demoted him.
The number 2 guy on the list has spoke about wanting the fight, and he has probably got his team working behind the scene to get the WBO to force the hands of the champ. Something Porter/PBC aren’t willing to do, as the PBC doesn’t recognise or want to talk to the WBO.
Hopefully Team Ortiz pursue the fight, if they don’t please demote him too…. enough of the phucking politics.Queen_Leia likes this.

Ortiz said he wants it,but Bud said" he isn't ready yet,that shouldn't even happen yet,he needs to earn it". Bob sounds receptive.

Shawn Porter said “he has people he has to listen too” and that’s why he didn’t activate the mandatory.
Not sure what this proves besides that he allowed Vergil Ortiz to pass him in the ratings due to his inaction.

WRONG, we want the smoke, you canelo fans run away from it. You say "who have Andrade, Charlo and Bivol beat?'" We say "bring on Spence, Porter, ALL of them."
I can't wait until Bud makes it look easy against Porter. Will you be a man and give him credit? Or will you be a little child and say that Porter already got whooped by Kelly Brook????

IMO, Porter didn't activate his mandatory (he could) because he listen to the people telling him that he would be getting something like 70/30 in Crawford favor so he tried to negotiate but Arum won't pay Porter what he feels he worth.
So now, Porter mandatory timeframe has expired and Ortiz being #2 moved into #1.
My thing is if Porter didn't care about the mandatory position before (i.e. not use it) he shouldn't care now that Ortiz is #1.
