Comments Thread For: Thurman: I Want Amir Khan, Not Stuttering Spence!

[bigdunny1]

When have we seen this "song and dance" before? If you say Peter Quillin dropping his title and turning down the Matthew Korobov fight I would have to remind you that Quillin fought Andy Lee immediately after he knocked Korobov out. If you say Stevenson hiring Haymon and moving on to fight on Showtime I would have to remind you that it is HBO and Main Events that choose not to work with Haymon and not the other way around. So other than those two examples that I just debunked I'd like to hear what other example you can site.

Yes we have seen the song and dance with Haymon fighters after a fight saying I want fighter X, Y and Z next and then when it's time to make a fight Haymon hands them a list of fighters not named X, Y and Z and they fight one of those guys that Haymon tells them to. Want a specific example look at Thurman who has called out tons of fighters and just a week ago said Haymon handed him a list with just one name on it. Collazo a guy he never wanted and who no fans wanted to see him fight. Point is don't listen to a word Haymon fighters say because they have no control over who he wants to fight. So Spence saying he wants Thurman next means nothing. Looking at Haymon's track record and need look no further then Thurman to see how long he babies fighters before he lets them step up in competition. Thurman was in Spence's shoes about 3 years ago and still has yet to fight a top welterweight but Haymon is going to let Spence do that? I just don't buy it.

phil le greco went ten rounds with ex champion and broner beater, shawn porter

phil le greco got slaughtered by the guy that you are ducking, erroll spence

the kid has been calling out top 10 fighters for a year now..he just started putting a name to it..this is a duck imo..thurman becoming diva like

I noticed that Thurman said he would fight Spence, but only under one condition he gets 10 million bucks. Peculiar if you ask me because there was no monetary value placed on fights with khan or bradley or maidana or porter. Don't think Keith wants it with Errol

[tiliheels]

this is not a call out bluff by spence..and if it is it is thurman's job to debunk it..not to avoid it with "he aint done nothing words"..i'd rather have a win over spence than soto karass, collazo (of today), julio diaz, and tbh the ghost of today...

i think pbc on espn done maybe 4-6 million views..if so it is on that network to stay..and i hope that is the case.. i hope it did 10 million lol

They're names alone are worth good money. Spence's isn't right now. If he's fighting Spence then it better be worth his time, the other guy's are already worth it.

I hope Ej fights 2 more times this year against fringe contenders and maybe even Alexander collazo or bundu this Winter, plus a decent opponent in September. Then next year its full throttle ahead

@mchammer what if he got the same purse ad he just got for the collazo scrap, shouldn't they be enough or maybe even a couple hundred thousand more

BS al haymon pays his fighter's great if thurman fights spence he's gettting a career high 2 mill likely...he only got 1.5 for ghost..why does he need 10 mil for this kid that he says is a boy...this is a flat out duck..u have ppl calling for and ppl talkin about it more than any other fight that we mention him in..everyone hear nearly agrees that he has no business in the ring with floyd at this point..beating teh spences of the world guys that have viewable talent would set you apart...tony harrison doesnt have spences followers, but when willie ko'd him nobody pooped on harrison for fighting him young..

Very true statements by thurman.

Errol veating replacements. Beat bubdu collazo and alexander berto ..

Thurman is on the khans and maidanas..
errol trying to cut in line after al haymon been holding him back. Imo thurman should beat khan and get with hunter or ****m

it's not your job to do the business planning for thurman's career..and it's not his job to go around saying who he's shouldnt have to fight..i'd be more than willing to get cred for stomping out a young drug lord if i feel like i'm the og in the hood ya feel me...1.5 vs ghost thruman made..now he talkin 10 million for erroll..he is ducking or building the fight..imo ducking bc he lost to andrade 30-10..and erroll shares that athletic southpaw style with great body punching and huge combos

is anyone else a bit surprised how easily thurman gets hurt and how fast he back pedals when it happens instead of standing his ground? its only a matter of time before he gets knocked out
