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.

Everything but the Venue makes sense.

How so? Broner is basically a household name now. The Mexicans and other Latinos hate him so much they pay in hopes that he loses.

[Tay Roc]

I'm just upset that one of these slick brothas has to take an L. I'm rooting for a draw so neither of their records are blemished.

War PBC

LOL, Remember the article written by the Butthurt Chavez Fan.

Yea that's why I said it lol. Based on garcias last figh spence should mop the floor with him

[Bronx2245]

ima have to sit back and wait and see what he's up to. People get uptight about him but now that you look at it those "specific" fights that weren't made... he was saving them for this PBC thing we have now.

I like the PBC series, but I don't understand why he would have Broner vs. Porter @ a catch-weight of 144, when he could have Garcia vs. Broner @ 144.

Haters should be happy. The catch weight can give them a reason to discredit the win.

No need to be disgusted. There is absolutely no way this fight can happen outside of a catch weight. We all ready know Broner is to small for welterweight unless it's against someone with no punching power like Paulie Malignaggi. At 147 Broner would be destroyed within 3 or 4 rounds.

Personally I think it's a bit desperate and silly on the Porter camp to fight Broner at a catch weight of 144 lbs which puts them at a disadvantage. Porter is a big welterweight and he will likely be drained at this weight but hey, no one is forcing Porter to take this fight but it can only happen at a catch weight if these two are going to get in on.

Told everyone this would be a catchweight.

Broner never wanted it with Khan

[GeneralZod]

Porter will bury him.

Since its PBC does that mean Porter can weigh 147?
