Told everyone this would be a catchweight.

Broner never wanted it with Khan

Yup u called it. Altho I'm sure he would have fought khan at the cw.

[THEFRESHBRAWLER]

that would be unprofessional on his part. if he cant make the weight he should turn it down, like khan did. broner doesnt have a belt or anything shawn wants but his scalp.

EXACTLY. If you accept a Catchweight fight then that is your own fault. No one is putting a gun to these fighters head and making them sign the contract. Same thing with injuries, if you go into a fight knowing you're severely injured then you have no right to use it as a excuse. Bottom line don't sign a contract if you feel you are at a disadvantage.

Dangerous fight for the Can-man. I don't think Broner should be fighting above 140 whatsoever. Catchweight will make it more of a contest though.

[Cinci Champ]

The catch weight is disgusting I'm ****en sick of catch weights, and I don't even wana see this fight if it's going to happen at 144.

lol broner is not a 147 fighter tho it makes sense here

[Porter's Dad]

I've generally always been in favour of catchweights if it can get a great fight done (as opposed to Mayweather fans, whose stance on catchweights oddly softened when the Canelo fight was made - they were losing their minds when Pacquaio was doing them - remember "Catchweight King" - anyway, I digress) - this IS a great fight, but as everyone has said, Porter is a big WW as it is. It is definitely going to deplete him - then add in the hydration clause too - not ideal. Hopefully it doesn't kill Shaun.

Love the fight, though.

[THEFRESHBRAWLER]

Since its PBC does that mean Porter can weigh 147?

Yea because I'm sure you didn't watch a catchweight fight involving a fighter who only fought once in 3years on Hbo last Saturday....

[Cinci Champ]

Damn Haymon must hate Broner or something... Terrible style match up for the Can Man... Porter is basically a technically sound version of Maidana, he's gonna get on him from round 1. Only way Broner wins is if Porter comes in weight drained.....................



Uhh... nevermind...

one again posters comparing fighters that are nothing alike. no one cried bs when broner jumped up 2 weight classes to fight maidana

How does this prove he never wanted it with khan? If anything this shows he would fight khan lol. He wanted him at 144

[MrClutch85]

Shawn Porter wanted this fight bad he accepted a CW 144 I didn't think he would. Broner need to sign the contract tough fight he better prepare train very hard he need to bring his A game to win Porter is a beast
