Comments Thread For: Porter Discusses Catch-Weight Terms For Broner Clash

[DreamerUSA]

This is actually the first time Ive heard of a confirmed rehydration clause in a fight. Definaly a ***** move.

I was pissed at first as well, but the more I think about it. I just don't see any other way for this to go down and Porter get his due credit should he beat Broner. Given the stipulations, I know I will be impressed should Porter win.

Broner on the other hand annoys me to no end. FFS get dedicated and fight at 140 where I think he is capable of beating anyone outside of Crawford, but he needs Floyd's work ethic.

i can see why people would be upset and not giving broner benefit of doubt in this situation but lets be real here. if he didnt do this and he fought him strait up at 147 porter would be so much bigger then broner fight night the fight would be pointless. porter is a big dude and broner is not a 147 fighter. he got ****y moved up to 147 skipping 140 and look what happened in the maidana fight. im a broner fan and honestly i dont see how this fight could be made any other way. if porter didnt like the terms they should not of signed it period. Its not mayweather or pac man were talking about its broner its not like mayweather or pac where fighters have no say. if porter didnt like the terms then he shouldnt of signed the contract and i completely understand why broner would want these weight clauses in the contract otherwise porter would just be to big and the fight would be pointless

Yeah Broner's a small dude who couldn't even make weight last time out. It's obvious they're taking every precaution to not have a repeat of the Maidana fight, nothing else to it. Wouldn't shock me if they make glove demands as well.

Didn't Porter have to strip down buck naked just to make 147 his last time out? And now he can't even fully rehydrate?

Great way to kill a good fight *** off Broner.

You're an idiot

Did he just say 144 give or take ...is that actually worded in the contract ...that's humorous.

Broner needs to fight at a lower weight class - it's that simple. Why go after bigger guys but demand that they fight weight drained?

Porter getting horrible advice and guidance. I hope it doesn't ruin his career.

How the *** can he make 144 and second day weigh-in but can barely make 147 with 10 weeks? Dude has to strip down every time.
