Keith Thurman: Pacquiao's the B-side and "no longer a top welterweight."

[alexguiness]

Keith had become an idiot over recent years, his arrogance is disappointing.

I hope Manny humbles him.

[QueensburyRules]

Shawn Porter asked Keith Thurman about being the B-side in his fight against Manny Pacquiao. Thurman was offended by this statement and cut Porter off to say: "I'm not B-side...Did you check the books? Who's title are we fighting for?"

He went on to say that he had 3 million viewers tune in for his comeback fight in January, while Manny is no longer a top Welterweight.

- -Keef to keep his teef while running from the Asian dwarf is it now?

Once upon a time...

Ok Keith. Respect to you and all, but 3 million viewers tuning in to watch you labour to a crappy win over Josesito Lopez does not make you a 'top welterweight' either.

So that's the reason why he picked the non-prime grandpa.
Instead of Spence.

The truth is you're only as good as your last fight and Thurman showed the effects of his inactivity against Lopez. The question is will we see "One Time" or "Once Upon A Time" against Pac.

[South Champion]

... the "A side" is the one who sells the fight and pays the opponent's purse... in this case, the one who sells the fight is the 40 yo Pacman...

Many of these fighters don't seem to understand what A-side means, they get very offended when anyone calls them B-side to Mayweather or Pacquiao.

3 million didnt watch Jose Lopez punch ***** Time in forehead & make it bigger

[The3]

Pac is the reason his on pay per view

[KillaCamNZ]

So, Keith Thurman just told everyone he's fighting B-level competition?

Great endorsement for yourself, Keith.
