Comments Thread For: Thurman Part of Porter-Ugas Telecast For FOX; Wants Winner

[Eff Pandas]

Danny Garcia is likely the next guy on the pecking order (welterweight, English/Spanish/urban, handsome, Latino, aggressive) and Tank has a chance

Who in the hell is Danny A siding a PPV with? I don't see it.

Tank can be a PPV guy doe. He's gonna need someone to come up from 126 (LSC or GRJ probably or better yet the winner of a fight between those two) or he's gonna need to move up although outside of Loma idk who's PPV opponent worthy.

[Eff Pandas]

Nope.

Manny's not going to be chomping at the bit to fight Spence unless he absolutely has to or it's a fight that's set to clean up at the box office.

I think Manny's behind an 8ball with options. Manny isn't in the drivers seat with PBC. Haymon likely paid off or is insuring Manny is getting paid to make payments on his IRS debt.

He's gonna take the best option out there & thats gonna be the guy who wins a PPV in a week & a half not the guy making Josesito Lopez look good.

Don't make no sense to not fight the other PPV winner in your weight division.

Time to re-establish that #1 position. I would rather Pacman next and Porter at the end of the year tho.

[Scipio2009]

pac isn't fighting anyone of those guys.

Then he's not getting his $20m guarantee

[KTFOKING]

Thurman vs Porter and Spence/Garcia winner vs Pacman. Then winners meet either later this year or more likely early 2020.

[champion4ever]

Thurman may just get his wish because it's no secret that Pac wants the winner of Spence/Garcia and Spence wants Manny next. Therefore, let the winner of Porter/Thurman challenge the winner of Pac/Spence if he gets past Mikey Garcia.

Right now, nobody.

Still, Danny (assuming he beats Granados) is a top-level B side on at least 5 viable PPV fights (Pacquiao, Thurman2, Spence, Crawford, Mikey).

[IMDAZED]

So basically you don't think Spence vs Pacquiao happens next at all?

I'm feeling like thats the most likely next Manny fight regardless of Porter vs Ugas. Obviously Spence has to win doe.

Also idk about all those PPV fights your predicting. Ugas ain't fighting NOBODY in a PPV main event. That's f#cking nuts & lighting money on fire for Showtime or Fox.

Anything with Manny will be a PPV for sure doe. Spence, Thurman or Porter although I agree Porter is a longshot for Manny.

I doubt it

Yea I'd agree he's a viable B side.

Lol this.

Manny has his hands tied to some degree now. With Haymon either paying off his IRS debt or helping him pay it off via this deal + being 40 gives Manny limited options on his career path for awhile. Or til/if Floyd comes back anyway.
