Comments Thread For: Porter Prepared To Move On This Week From Thurman

[wlliam]

All Haymon does is seek to hoard all the name fighters he can, then be slow and rare, to put them against one another. Treats them like hookers sending them to a specific corner to pull a quick safe trick so to land a quick payday. I knew too good to be true. Won't get a big fight for Swift, Thurman, Porter, Khan, just a joke. In the meantime we get great fights/wars, win or lose, often out of Canelo, Cotto, GGG, Matthysse, Crawford, Kovalev, fans want to see!

Isnt that crazy how HBO is outperforming PBC, quality wise, with their limited fighters and resources? With Haymon having all tjat talent, all those names there should be no way HBO can compete...but theyre are and doing better with only a handfull of fighters

In before they call Keith Thurman ducking Shawn Porter, oh wait, I'm too late.

I would wait and see how this pans out, i would rather hear from both sides before making my mind up, one thing is for sure Team Porter indeed do want this fight.

[bojangles1987]

This is inexcusable. This fight should have been official for this month or next back in September.

But he didn't block Santa Cruz from Mares? Unless Thurman is fighting Garcia or Khan next is the only reason for a Porter match to not happen.

LSC-Mares was a necessity, Cruz's career had become an absolute joke with the opposition he was facing

In fact, the Mares fight isnt enough for make up for that, its simply a step in the right direction. If PBC's master plan is to make one decent match up inbetween a few 'tune up' level fights for their stars, then its going to backfire. Im not saying they should be fighting the best consistently, as thats sadly unrealistic. But its a bit of a joke right now

Haymon seems to be doing this quite consistently too, which is a little unsettling. Look at Garcia, Stevenson, LSC, Wilder, Quillin. Every one of those supposed stars have lost a ton of relevancy and respect because of the levels of opposition.

How? And then Keith says he's been agreed to and wanting the fight yet it's still his fault to people on here..

So explain then why Porter is still waiting??? It's either Thurman or Haymon; pick your poison.

Haymon is just a manager. He can't force grown men to step in the ring. This supposed to be promoter's job

[TLC8]

porter should call out khan

Khan won't fight either. These guys either need to grow a sack, speak for themselves and/or leave Al Haymon. Typical Haymon slow and rare to make fights want to see.

Haymon is a Pimp. His hoard of **********s, his contracts read, HE picks the opponent, they don't speak on it, he pays them to fight. Just watch Danny Garcia interviews; he does it best. "I just fight. Al Haymon decides, he picks my opponents, and I just fight". Oscar Dela Hoya said it when they signed Canelo. Canelo wants to be a big fights. " Haymon has more fighters, but they are very slow to make ANY fights, fans want to see". Haymon wet our appetite with PBC first fight Thurman-Guerrero, but lousy fights for the most part since. Won't put Khan in against the top contenders at 147. Fed Paulie Mags to Danny Garcia. Can't make Khan-Thurman happen after Khan said he'd love to fight Thurman. Wouldn't make Khan-Provodnikov, after Ruslan signed an offer sheet to fight Khan, sent it over, and heard crickets since. Can't make Swift-Porter happen after Swift spouted off Porter was tailor made for him. Now they can't make Thurman-Porter, all the while Porter has been waiting. Making fights instead like Thurman-Collazo, are u kidding me??? Did Thurman get exposed with that body shot Collazo hit him with that made him wince like a girl??? Just a waste of our time with Haymon, who wants all the fighters, so to put tomato cans up against each, as opposed to the best fighting the best.
