Comments Thread For: Spence-Porter Unification To Land At Barclays - And Off PPV

[Mister Wolf]

What happened to Spence's large Mexican fanbase that bought and attended his fight with Mikey? They wont buy his fight with Porter?

[MONGOOSE66]

Im pretty sure Spence knows what Porter is going to do so i see a real fight for porter. Porter is getting too old to be playing his typical game plan. Spence is going to HURT him and make it look easy.

If that was the case then Al Haymon would have done the Spence-Porter fight on ppv don't you think??
Why leave money on the table if you think you can recoup it on ppv???
Think about it man

Because porter fights with his head no one going buy that fight with his style of fighting and pbc taking the right business model they just saw what happens when you force a fight on ppv that shouldn’t of been a ppv in Crawford/khan and backlashed it received

[JLC]

What indications do you have that Garcia has a huge following? All of Spence fights does bigger viewership.... porter style of fighting is not something you should make people pay for to see on ppv I think that was main reason why

Facts. This isn’t about not having a Mexican. This is about Porter having a trash style, and Spence not being a PPV mainstay.

Kudos to Al Haymon / PBC, or whoever is road mapping this because it seems like an actual plan. Winner of 1 big fight takes on winner of another big fight NEXT. not an interim fight, or further marination. Great plan. I guess I should hold off on my thanks until it actually plays out.

At least it reduces the nuimber of belt holders at 147 to just four: Thurman, Bud, Spence/Porter and Manny as the WBA regular champ.

WTF! I thought Spence was calling out Canelo. Guess he don't want none.

[boxinggod101]

Good fight. Can't wait. UD win for Spence

WTF! I thought Spence was calling out Canelo. Guess he don't want none.

You thought Spence would be fighting Canelo on his next fight? Serious?

[BeLikeWater]

No one wants to watch that dopey eyed coward fight and much less on ppv. At least he is fighting someone in his weight class but still short. Stop hiding behind your pimp and fight crawford or canelo!

Hell yea.. let's get it on Fox Primetime.

It would easily do 2-3mill views.
