Would of been nice to close out the year with this fight but I understand. I have a feeling Porter is going to make Thurman run.

Question!!! The boxing commission gave Mayweather till Nov to make a decision right?? So if he stays retired like he says then this fight would be for full fledged WBA...This fight will happen Thurman and porter I believe both want and want to delay till January possibly for the Belt....

Not too surprising this is being pushed back. Keith needs time for his injured hand still. They rushed into the Collazo fight after the injury and realize they can't do the same with Porter.

Now that I'm older it's much harder being a fan of this sport.

Boxing is in serious trouble at the moment. There's growing disinterest from older fans, they're struggling badly to pick up new fans...it's going to be even worse in two or three years time.

This 'sport' was damaged long before Mayweather-Pacquiao, but that fight seems to have been the nail in the coffin.

Yeah, this isn't happening. Too much talk at 147, not enough fights.

Thurman didn't want this fight. He was put on the spot in those videos.

If this delay is due to one of the fighters, I'm certain it's because of Thurman needing more time. He's been too busy yapping lately.

I'm siding towards this. They have said many times that they were going to fight each other and almost every time they don't fight, you got Porter fighting Brook and Broner while Thurman is fighting Guerrero and Collazo.

Thurman hasn't had a big fight yet

Let me guess, PPV, to take place in June of 2016 following a comedy drama hit on PBC titled 'When Keith met Shawn' that runs for 16 weeks. FFS.

PPV. That thought popped up as i was reading this article...thats some BS if they try pull that move...fk that. This shouldve fkn happened a year ago, stalling isnt gonna make it any bigger...theyre not MayPac. Thurman lacks the opposition that gets ppls heads turning, Porter just doesnt draw although hes a good fighter. I have a feeling theyre gonna force a PPV. Which i wont buy btw.

If they was to make this on PBC, t would be the very 1st time i contribute to the PBC ratings.
