Comments Thread For: Porter Willing To Supplement Keith Thurman's Purse

[Strive 4 Truth]

I have a feeling that we might see Thurman vs. Khan before we see Thurman vs. Porter!

If Kahn is offered to fight Thurman, the world would have a hard time locating the whereabouts of Kahn. Id be surprised if he took that fight.

That body shot from Collazo took Thurman's soul. Glass ribs.

More reindeer games I see. Fight and get it over with.

Thurman-Porter is so much easier to make than any fight involving Khan. I don't know why you'd say that.

These fighters are getting too entitled. That is a contentious term as it had negative connotations in the past but these days it is true.

If Thurman is holding out for more money then why does he think he is entitled to that? Fighters maybe prepare a max of 4 months and they're entitled to millions? For 4 months work? Yeah I know - not all of it hits their bank account - but come on - this is so far removed from everyday experiences of the average fan.

I think advisers get in their heads too much. Somebody telling Thurman that if he can stay unbeaten he can make multi- millions in endorsements.

Just fight and prove you are worth that. You have to become a golden boy before you can earn like one.

If I remember correctly the first time Thurman was presented to Porter, his dad balked at the amount of money Haymon was offering saying it's mere undercard money. Same thing may be happening here. (I'm in no way defending Thurman. I've called him a hypejob long before others.)

Seems clear that Haymon doesn't put Porter in the same class as his other top fighters. It's also possible the Porters want it 50/50. Question is is there really a A-side in this fight? It may not be the money for Haymon, but just want to make it clear that Thurman is the star here. But this is all speculation.

Thurman has taken much worse. As you can see, he's still winning.

i love to hear this kind of talk (although i'd prefer it coming from shawn than kenny). i'm not really a fan of porter's style but it's refreshing to see a truly hungry fighter

also, as a big thurman fan i hope they are wrong and he's not about to pull a duck

Two times.

Yet I don't see Khan anywhere around this fight.

Why is that?

Khan is most probably fighting Brook in summer for a proper World title in what is expected to bank him over $5 million guarantee plus ppv cut.

If Brook leaves Khan hangin'?

What then?
