    what the hold up for thurman vs porter

    Why does it still take a while for thurman to get a fight signed he fought before a couple of guys and they already have fights lined up
    this guys is still avoided even with a belt

    -Thurman busted his hand in the Collazo fight

    -Thurman vs Porter seems to be the fight that is in the works, but it's likely that TV channel (NBC/ESPN/CBS, Showtime), host venue (site fee vs ticket sales, where would be the best place to draw a crowd, etc), and a host of other key terms are still being worked out.

    Fight isn't going to be announced until near everything is agreed to.

      They must be close to announcing it. They're probably working on final details like location, network etc.

        A good fight between two Haymon fighters that could and should be made. The top welterweights should start fighting each other instead of unranked guys everybody already knows they can beat.
