Thurman vs. Porter Being Saved for PBC on Fox Debut...Jan 23

[bojangles1987]

We only have to wait an extra month. lol

Porter hasn't fought since June and Thurman since July. This should have happened this month or next.

I know I'm being a d*ck, but this fight has been 2 years in the making and delaying it this much is crazy.

We are 2 years in to whatever Haymon's plan is. He is trying to secure a network deal with sponsors. He needs to use his best matchups in the best spots in 2016.

And whether it's just coincidence or something else, it does seem like once a fight is pushed back once, there's a pretty good chance it'll happen again. Lee-Saunders should happen this time but until they're in the ring I won't be 100% sure of that.

With a stable of 200 fighters why do he need save fights? Can he just make other great fight for FOX debut? We are in october ffs.

I guess he could of had Wilder vs. a Top 10 guy as the FOX debut. He has a large stable but not a lot of headliners. Danny Garcia has been pretty inactive too.

alright, so what do they have to do with Dec 12th 2015?

Those fights were all around that date in previous years.


But again I ask you, why is December 12th a bad date for boxing?

****ing ridiculous that this is getting pushed into 2016, but at least it's happening.

Bro - it's like a month later than originally planned lol

Your numbers are already declining... you want to hold it the same day as one of the biggest UFC cards?

Been saying this over and over but drowned out by the "hardcore fans" whining.
