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

[TLC8]

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

He does both, which is why the Arum/Golden Boy Promo lawsuits. Fighters don't choose opponents with Haymon; he chooses, fighters fight. It's in the contracts; ask Danny Garcia... He says it best!

He acts like a promoter but he's primarily a manager. Haymon nerver do interviews so it's easy for his fighters just blame him for **** fights.

so has thurman gave a response

[jwalkr]

Too bad. Would have been a good fight. I wonder what the plan is then. And I wonder if Thurman and Porter are questioning the wisdom of signing the "advisor" contract.

Thurman shook bruhs

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

No there not. Like all networks/promoters/whatever there are hot and cold only instead of 5 shows with HBO we get 20 with PBC. More to criticize but more faces to be seen and names to be heard

Don't care much about Porter. He's basically a brawler. Khan vs Thurman would be better, or Garcia vs Thurman.

I hope they're not looking for another Bundu somewhere.

We need more answers

Jan 23rd FOX premiere is the rumor

Has seemed this way for a while. Porter just seems more like a 'I want to fight the best' type of guy, Thurman less so. Could be wrong, 2 sides to every story etc. But this news isn't surprising.

LOL, they couldn't even wait more than a day to acknowledge that it isn't happening. "It's gonna happen, just not right now."

It's amazing that people still refuse to acknowledge how ****ed this 'sport' actually is. It's right down there in the proverbial ****ter, just waiting to get flushed away. The 'fighters', the managers, the promoters, the networks, the alphabet orgs - they're all responsible for it.
