SOURCES: The welterweight unification matchup between Errol Spence Jr. and Shawn Porter isn’t finalized yet but it’s getting close. The fight could land at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, this summer. Told it’s unlikely to land on PPV

Wish they would have gone back to Dallas to be honest. Let Spence put together another crowd. But if the fight is in September, may not be possible with the NFL season starting up. And Porter isn't bringing in what Mikey did.

If not on PPV, that's great news. Will need to see it to believe it though.

if not on ppv it confirms what we already know. Mikey sold most of the ppvs vs Errol. Errol ain’t a ppv fighter. Spence-porter is a 200k ppv and Haymon doesn’t want him to be exposed.

The best fight that’s been on regular tv in a long time. I hate streaming so I’m glad it’s on Fox. Spence-Porter Thurman-Pacquiao winners face each other for a unification of 3 belts.

Streaming is so clean nowadays bruh.

SHOULDN'T be on PPV. Just cause your fighting don't mean you should get an instant PPV.

Or merge them.

That works too

Why don't you like Spence ?

He's my favorite at 147 right now.


I consider Pac retired, hope he doesn't fight Spence.

We all want to see the fight that matters (Bud Spence) and this was a window to make the fight or talk about it and now we’re possibly getting a fight that I don’t want to see. I have always thought that Spence was a fraud. There’s something that I don’t like about him or trust. But that’s just me the fan.

on FOX is a great move. On PPV this sucker will draw drastically few PPVs then Spence did with Garcia. Fans on Spence back to fight Crawford and Garcia fight was bad with a dreadful undercard. Get fans back on your side putting it on FOX for no cost.

Then Mikey's next fight should be on PPV right since he sold most of the buys?

Or it could mean SHO or FOX will put a big enough lincense fee for the fight that would be comparable to it being on PPV.

Or it can be that FOX isn't satisfied with the ratings dip and want a big fight ASAP.

Or finally it could be that SHO has a plenty of money in their budget since they haven't had one big money card yet and want to get back in the game.

I guessed so. Seems like they dont think Spence and Porter can do a successful PPV. Garcia being mexican american sold that first PPV.

THIS. Anyone with a brain should see this. PPV only makes Spence look bad when the numbers come back way lower then the Garcia fight. Keep it on FOX draw big ratings and try and make a PPV with a better draw opponent for Spence. He's not a PPV fighter only if he's with the right opponent does it even crack 300K buys.

With equal promotion Mikey vs Danny would do better on PPV than Spence vs Porter. Thats with the latter being a unification too.
