    Comments Thread For: Thurman-Porter Card Will Be a Stacked CBS/Showtime Event

    It took several months to finalize terms for the welterweight showdown between Keith Thurman and Shawn Porter, but a much quicker turnaround has been enjoyed in piecing together the undercard.

    I actually thought about going to this fight if it was held at a decent venue. Why is it taking place in Connecticut?

            Ok is Russell Jr gonna be in Connecticut? Or split site or something? If he fights someone half decent then that's a great card.

              there have been some good fights at that venue, most notably Gatti/Ward I. The crowds seem to know boxing there ..it's a better fit than the MGM, these two aren't ready to sell that out yet.

                The Wilky Campfort line made me bust out laughing. Don't you go hating on Silky!!

                  I think it read as a split view. Early fights on Showtime maybe? A shobox type showing

                    After reading this article I am confused I don't know what the hell is going on?

                    So is the Porter-Thurman main event on CBS or Showtime?

                    Mares-Montiel wow I see Mares is back to his comeback trail regime. Russell vs TBA that's no surprise how about making Mares-Russell on the undercard instead of these showcase fights. Rodriguez-Williams sounds like fun, if Charlo brother is fighting then it's terrible.

                    Like a poster posted earlier just go away already PBC. How they ran through $500+ million for these type of cards is ridiculous
