Errol Spence vs Shawn Porter Unification Bout Being "Pegged" For September

[Boksfan]

How the hell is he a chicken, Spence hater? He already went to England to KO Brook. You remember Brook don't you. He came to America to beat Porter and his only loss was to the middleweight champion. Spence has previously tried to get fights with Thurman, Danny Garcia and Porter and they all turned him down. Why is Spence the chicken and not them?

Look guys, Errol the Chicken Spence has a fanboy defending him, that's cute

September? IDK man I really want Spence to be a face in boxing but every time he does something, then he's gone for 5 or 6 months

Guessing it's the guarantees they drum up. That and/or they want to juice up a bit.

[IMDAZED]

Yes, like every other "face" in boxing, who most people don't know.

Worked for Floyd. Canelo. Etc. So that's not the hindrance.

One thing that helps Haymon fighters in PPVs are he just gives a set amount to the promoter and all the upside goes to the fighters. And because they have their promotional company involved, they get to write off quite bit of expenses. Really, if you are a PPV level fighter, then being with Haymon just maximizes your earning power. And Spence also sold his own personal merchandise at the fight.

I remember Floyd would pay for all the food/drinks/merchandise sold at the fights and then take the profits from all sales. Wonder if Haymon does that with other fighters as well?

Nah. It was unique to Floyd and the MGM.

Nice, that would be a good scrap. It's interesting, stylewise, especially after their last fights.

Errol the Chicken Spence is finally gonna fight somebody? Amazing.

So Spence is a chicken because everybody was ducking him ? He

Canelo will get much more attention than this fight September is Canelo month

No one is going to watch Canelo fight, while Fox Sports will likely again push Spence's fight for a good 6 weeks.

[Scipio2009]

probably late in the year because they do not want it too close to the thurman pac ppv in july

Thurman-Pacquiao in early July, SpenceJr-Porter in late August.

An easy 6 weeks between PPVs is alright

No one is going to watch Canelo fight, while Fox Sports will likely again push Spence's fight for a good 6 weeks.

No one is going to watch Canelo vs GGG 3? lol ok...

September? Noway the IBF will wait that long

Abdukakhorov wins the eliminator by unanimous decision! Could he have a mandatory date with @ErrolSpenceJr in his future? pic.twitter.com/nyv4AijmcT
