Comments Thread For: Crawford-Porter: PBC, Top Rank Don't Expect To Reach Deal, WBO Purse Bid To Be Called

Porter ducking Crawford. Can’t wait to hear the excuses.

[Combat Talk Radio]

If anybody other than TopRank wins the bid, Top Rank will tell Crawford to fake COVID and delay the fight. (Teofimo)

Crawford doesn't believe in COVID, remember?

He'll fake a hand injury, he's done it before.

I don't know if Porter is ducking so much as the fact nobody wants to pay for the fight.

[ShaneMosleySr]

Porter complained that 40-percent wasn’t enough because he has better options.

That’s what happened. He doesn’t want the fight.

LOL, Porter is not a punk and never has been. I'm sure Haymon would love to get Crawford signed to him when his contracts expires with TR. There is no need to "protect" someone like Porter who has multiple losses and has fought the best of the best.

Are you seriously saying the best of the best out of the PBC boys club?

[Get em up]

Let the fight go to the highest bidder, that's fine by me.

All that matters is that the fight gets made. And neither guy should even think about pulling out.

The fact the article states Porter has the option to bail out after the purse Bud makes me wonder if this isnt a big waste of time. I'd LOVE to see this fight I'm just not to sure how much Porter and Crawford want it.

It’s ok the purse bid is there because of something like this. PBC should win this if they have any faith in their fighter. We already know Arum doesn’t GAF.

I think Haymon doesn't GAF either. It's Porter we are taking about here, unless Bud is a free agent. If PBC really wanted this, it wouldn't go to purse bid, IMO.

Boxingscene has already laid the foundation:

Crawford would have to move forward according to the terms of the winning bid, or he would be stripped of the WBO belt he won by stopping Australia’s Jeff Horn in June 2018 in Las Vegas. The Omaha, Nebraska, native has one fight remaining on the contract extension that the three-division champion signed with Top Rank in the summer of 2018.

Porter, however, could walk away from the bid if he were persuaded by Haymon to accept another fight – perhaps a rematch with former WBA/WBC welterweight champ Keith Thurman. Their first fight, which Thurman narrowly won by unanimous decision in June 2016 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, was one of the most fan-friendly fights of that year.

The fight won't happen. Porter will vacate his ranking and fight Granados or something like that. Meanwhile, dumb shill cuck ****s like this clown F l i c k e r or these other idiots (bballchump11 , The Big Dunn , Larry x. , ShoulderRoll ) will somehow blame Crawford for the fight not happening.
Larry totes on and on about Malcolm X yet doesn't understand that Crawford is AA...shit is hilarious

Why do the mods allow this level of insanity to come back once banned for racism?

There goes Terrence Crawford again thinking he’s worth more money than what he’s actually worth. The guy is ending his peak and not once has he fought and beat a in his prime elite fighter in his whole career
