21st of May… yet no confirmation of Brook vs Porter

[Shambrolic]

Nah. They had till today to make a deal. Since they couldn't, the next step is for the IBF to schedule a purse bid. So Eddie Hearn and GBP will bid for the fight for the rights to promote. The IBF will probably make an announcement sometime this week.

This right here..

Things should get interesting, the interesting thing here is that Kell Brook and his promoter Eddie Hearn have to take this fight so they are betting on getting a homefield advantage.. also a promotional one. That will leave Porter to go for the knock out as though he is challenger. Can Brook beat Porter anywhere?

Boxrec has Thurman/Maidana on the undercard Sept 13th... Dont know where they got that info from..

[Resilient]

Kelly's desperately bashing his knees for another injury

[tokon]

It should be this,

Porter vs Brook

Bradley vs Thurman
OR
Khan vs Thurman (due to cold war)

Winners of above face each other.

and winner of that faces Mayweather.

this.

porter v mandatory
thurman v khan
winners v each other
winner of that get the money shot.
shame it wont go down that way!
khan/gbp will try to find a way to get khan against floyd without putting him in with either porter or thurman, never mind both of them!

Yea like I said before I would believe this fight happening when I see Brook touching gloves in the first second of the fight.

Ah thanks mate, didn't have any info whatsoever on the script with this fight.

Looks like GBP will be taking the bid then, Hearn won't match them.

Popular belief around here, including myself, is that Hearn will take the bid.

If this is in the uk I've got Brook on KO. Porter isn't going to get away with his recent routine of rushing feather-fisters. Brooks power is no joke.

It will happen

[wiz1030]

Porter said at Mayweather-Maidana that it was going to purse bids.

It's still going to happen unless Brook backs out. Porter seems to be all in for the mandatory defense.

[Holywarrior]

If they get Porter/Brook and Thurman/somebody else done for July or August that could set up a big fight between the winners in December.

This is a perfect scenario. Thurman vs Mike Jones wherever he is
