Ward shooting poisoned arrows at Porter

[Combat Talk Radio]

It sounds like you are telling him to “Shut Up And Fight”.

Yes, SOG, lots of people here on NSB in particular keep saying they should just "Shut Up and Fight".

Thank you for confirming what I and certain others keep trying to tell these people - boxing is a BUSINESS. A-Side / B-Side matters. If the B-Side knows their position, and follows the rules, fights get made. It's not just about the fight anymore because it's not a sport anymore.

That was one part, he also said TC is extremely hard to deal with and very stubborn, people need to digest all that gets said, it always appears to be a single phrase that people ride off with that follows there own agenda, the flow of his entire conversation was more against TC in a number of areas than it was Haymon, Shawn has delt with all parties involved so he has some solid insights on how it goes.

Not in the interview that’s making the rounds. @9:20

Whats your point I didn't say he never said TC doing it on his own wont get it done, I said he also said a lot more about TC being hard to deal with, I don't get what your on about here.

I gave you the source of the Porter quotes in discussion. You talked like I was cherrypicking quotes. But I don’t hear him mentioning any of the bold in this interview.

You might want to watch the video, I was only pointing out that there was more than what you quoted.

He's right. This mentality of people arguing as if they know the details and "understand" boxing are ridiculous. Taking sides is ******.

Boxing fans have been conditioned to think like accountants and it's tedious. Demand the best fight the best - always. If a multimillionaire boxer is quibbling over a split for a super fight, view him with su****ion even if he's your favourite fighter.

The fans and the boxers have different priorities. I don't care how much an already wealthy boxer increases his wealth by - it's not as if either is on the breadline. They don't need to shut up, but they do need to fight.

I don't get angry anymore, I just lose interest. It's boring to be talking about other people's financial aspirations rather than a boxing match.

Kovalev had a guarantee in the 1st fight tho.

just like bud and spence deserve guaranteed money in the first fight

true, but kovs guarantee as far as i can see first fight was 2 mil, quite a bit lower than wards 5 mil

i think kov must have been on the vodka when they were negotiating those fights, he should have demanded equality with ward in the contracts or at least a much better deal both fights, he had the belts as far as i remember, how about a hearn rematch clause even plus he got jobbed too LMAO, what a mess for him & gold dust for ward
