Haymon is the one who pays these guys and Spence is now being paid purses just like those guys are. Drawing just the same ratings on Showtime and doing about the same attendance headlining the same arenas. A fight with Spence vs Thurman is bigger then a rematch with either guy.

Using the excuse Spence don't bring a belt to the table don't work he has the IBF, he doesn't draw don't work he just headlined barclays and drew 12,107.

Broner/Garcia 12,084
Porter/Berto 9,118
Thurman/Porter 12,718
all in the same Barclays

These guys are all in the same pot in terms of money being paid, attendance they generate and will be paid virtually the same amount if they fight Spence or each other. Stop the excuses it's simple these guys fight who they are told none have control of their careers. If anything Haymon is worried that if he puts Spence in with either guy now and he destroys them then he can't make money off their rematches. So he is sitting Spence on the sideline till they get their rematches and then going to throw them in with Spence and cashes them out.

One word: Marination. Doing Spence-Thurman right now would dim one of their stars. Haymon got two WW stars. He can match them with fighters below them and still generate interest while building up their mega-fights.

Father, it seems like you believe Haymon is a slave master with a whip, whip 'em and making them do what he wants but no. He is also their adviser which means he will be looking at ways to make all them money including Garcia and Porter, too.

Might as well just take it, hope Thurman looks good in his comeback fight, and push for Thurman in the fall/winter

Sir, your P4P list is impeccable. I'm from Chi Town and I lived in Wrigleyville for the 2016 WS. It was incredible.

Now that I agree on. That's exactly the hold up and why Haymon isn't making the fights now. Just don't give me this BS about nobody wanting to fight Spence and only Peterson will step up. BS Spence draws money now all these guys will get big paydays to fight him but Haymon just don't want these fights now. It sucks for fans and it sucks for Spence it's almost a guarantee he doesn't fight someone with a pulse in 2018.

Make this **** happen. Ocampo issa cute hometown fight for Spence and it adds to Errols impressive KO hightlight reel, not to mention he needs the activity after letting 2017 go to waste.

[sicko]

Well yeah might as well stay active and get that out of the way while he waits for the rest of 147 to grow a pair

Actually wanted to see Ocampo vs Ponomarev but Ponomarev avoids potentially having to face Spence Jr A SECOND TIME!

But I believe someone pointed out that Porter didn't want it and if Porter didn't get Thurman he was still not gonna look Spence's way.

Danny saying Spence gotta test himself vs Peterson first.

As for Danny, Check this short vid: Begin at 0:55 if you don't wanna watch it all

who? ibf and their shitty mandatories strike again!

You have never seen the guy fight, he could possible do better than Peterson. Let's hold judgment lol. I wanna see the ko lol

[herb666]

The IBF acknowledges Thurman and Horn as champions and accordingly refuses to rate them in their top 15. (sigh) But what's the possible excuse for NOT ranking Garcia, Porter and Crawford in their top 15. The IBF is total faux. Spence should go to the nearest trash barrel with his IBF belt.

[AdonisCreed]

He can use this as a way to sharpen up his skills. Make it last a few rounds then KO him in the 5th round.
