Comments Thread For: Arum On Crawford-Porter: I'm Optimistic We Can Get Deal Done With PBC For PPV Fight

[Bronx23]

I hope it goes to purse bid. Don’t think for one second that Eddie isn’t still salty at Bob for that Fury/AJ fiasco & prior to that he already outbid Bob for the Lopez/Kamboosos fight & Bob was furious lol I can see Hearn flexin on Bob again

If they can't agree that Shawn Porter is worth more than the $1M that Top Rank was offering him previously; Then the answer is yes It will go to a purse bid.

With Haymon’s offer to Canelo, it appears that Haymon can go deep for a purse bid. I wonder if it heads to FOX or Showtime however.

Just get the fight done and take my money!

PPV Bob, really?

If it was fox or showtime for sure it would be ppv so ESPN would be the same. Did you forget this blockbuster ppvs Charlo vs Rosario and Ruiz vs Arreola?

I'm definitely interested, but not for PPV. ESPN sounds about right for this fight. What I thought was funny was the writer calling Porter Crawford's most formidable opponent since moving up, Porter is Crawford's most dangerous and formidable opponent period, Crawford hasn't fought anyone in his whole career that is on Porter's level. And I'm not saying Crawford can't beat him, I'm just saying if this fight gets made that we are going to find out if Crawford is as good as some claim. Hope it gets done, because if there is a mystery in boxing, it's definitely Crawford....

I hear you but for let's entertain this conversation by flipping this argument on its head:
How good is Crawford if he is the only one to clearly beat Porter in a clear and decisive 8-4 type of fight?

Funny thing is they could have made this fight a while ago on PPV but Arum kept saying it was not a PPV worthy fight and it would do terrible sales. Then later on when Kenny Porter met with Arum, he still didn't want to make the fight happen and TR used BS excuses of this fight not being able to take place in Vegas due to Covid...But NOW all of a sudden it has become a PPV fight? What has changed?

[KTFOKING]

PPV Bob, really?

Why wouldn't it go on PPV? Who is going to pay these guys around 10M combined in purses? Which network will do that? Spence vs Porter was PPV, so why wouldn't this fight be PPV?

Undefeated and top 10 p4p champion Yurikos Gamboa isn’t on the same level as a guy who loses every championship fight he’s ever fought.

LOL okay.

Then my friend, I would say he's probably the best WW, but even then he would still have to prove it by beating Spence, it's the only way.

LOL okay.

I knew some dip Sh** would bring up Gamboa. Gamboa was p4p at featherweight, by the time he fought Crawford he was no longer that dude, solid for sure, but Porter will give Crawford problems that a small featherweight can not impose.
