Comments Thread For: Arum: We're Gonna Try To Keep The Pay-Per-View Price For Crawford-Porter Reasonable

Porter beats Crawford (just like most think he beat Spence)….You can never write Crawford off.

I agree, MOST people who have no idea how to score a fight, think Porter beat Spence.

People who actually know what they are watching realize Spence won a competitive 8-4 and also had a knockdown against Porter.

The fight won't be between $70 and 80. It will be for $69.95.

Allegedly

No way. It’s a good fight but neither Crawford or Porter are PPV draws. 10 years ago they would be on boxing after dark on HBO.

I'm not saying I'd agree to that price, but look at boxing today. The fact that this fight is PPV is testament that it's all about the money these days, not the sport.

I’m buying and waiting for the day to come! Excited to have this fight officially on the schedule!

Exactly.

My only concern is a shady decision or a trigger ref.

Other than that, that's the sell point. Test the mofo

Hopefully they get Kenny Bayless to ref it.

How do you see the fight going?

Well, I saw how Porter approached Spence, which I thought was not Porter true style. It did t work for him. I’d like to see Porter stay in Crawfords face and maul him. That’s what he does best. He can’t give Crawford space.

Let's hope not. We need full linebacker Porter and Bayless wouldn't be having it.

I'm conflicted. Normally I'd say Tony Weeks. But Weeks is who did the trigger stoppage on Kell Brook. Jack Reiss would work, but if Porter drops Crawford, Reiss will give Crawford like a 15-count to recover. So no on that.

My vote goes to Mark Nelson - he works WBO fights. Let both guys get dirty, stay out of the way and see what happens.

Plus Nelson has a hell of a chin - Hugo Centeno Jr. couldn't even drop him off a flush shot, so he should be able to handle the flying punches if he can't stay out of the way for some reason. Neither guy has knockout power.

No, Crawford/Spence isn’t happening because Crawford has this inflated ego about himself that he believes he is A side and won’t take less. While the reality is that Spence sells out stadiums and Crawford can’t draw flies to s h I t. Both are extremely skilled but Crawford has to know his place until he sells solid PPVs.

"Can't draw flies to ****" I love that expression

Yes, that would probably be porter's best tactic especially with Crawford being a bit of a slow starter.

Thanks.
