    What a surprise Crawford vs. Porter ain’t happening



    Once this fight goes to purse bid, the fight is all but dead. Uncle Al just dump $40 mil for Canelo and another $8-10 mil for Plant, there’s zero chance PBC makes a legit offer for the Crawford/Porter fight now. As we all know Uncle Al doesn’t allow his welterweight’s to fight in other networks/platforms even if Thriller, DAZN or Top Rank win the bid. I expect Porter to be pulled and offer a fight for the WBC interim belt or a shot @ the WBA belt.

    Purse bid with a specific date should be ordered today. Then you go to purse bid and see who bids what (PBC/Fox, Top Rank/ESPN, Matchroom/DAZN, even Triller).

    If anyone pulls out before the actual purse bid numbers can be seen, they are cowardly swine. If no one bids anything of value, obviously the fight won't happen but if Lopez/Kambosauce can fetch $6M, it's hard to believe Bud/Porter doesn't have any value.

      Top Rank is required to submit a bid,& Porter isn't going to duck,which isn't even possible once purse bid happens.

        You obviously don't realize that this fight is now a certainty unless Crawford ducks by dropping the belt. Porter is allowed to fight wherever he wants(only time pbc fighters are forced to fight on Pbc is when they're beltholders)

            The fight is going to purse bids. It is still going to happen...unless someone ducks.

              that should be the direction it's headed. Unless crawford vacates, but Bob might be using the purse bid to same himself some dollars, placing the minimum bid?

                  Too bad you apparently forgot that Mikey was signed to PBC when he fought Vargas on DAZN.
