What is the hold up on Porter vs Spence?

[Eff Pandas]

Bob was on the State of Combat podcast today & was talking like maybe him & Haymon ARE talking about doing Bud vs Spence before the end of the year. So maybe the people suggesting that fight maybe a go & Spence vs Porter is on the back burner are onto something.

Spence gonna fight Canelo in September

Spence is not moving up to 160 anytime soon but that would be some statement if Spence would take on Canelo in september.

[Mister Wolf]

After hearing about Mikey fighting on PPV he is weighing facing Porter on regular TV for a smaller paycheck or risking losing to Crawford on PPV for more money. He is well aware Crawford is a greater threat. He was sober when he said this.

[Bullrider]

Spence wanted Pacquiao. Haymon made Thurman vs Pac, instead. Errol is angry. Just imagine seeing a perennial absentee fighter being rewarded the superfight, while you on the other hand can't even get the absentee fighter to fight you.

Sad thing if Crawford and Spence fights you're going to have guys who hate Porters guts saying Spence and Crawford ducked

Spence fights ALWAYS take forever. As a Spence fan this sh^t is annoying as f#ck & idk wtf is always going on with getting Spence fights lined up. Idk if Spence himself doesn't wanna fight as often or if there are some difficulties with Spence fights that are lost on me or wtf is going on with it, but it doesn't make much sense to me & is getting old mfing fast.

This is one of the reasons I like Eddie. Eddie keeps it f#cking moving. You fight, you win or lose, you got another fight within a month or two. Or thats more the story then its not the story. Meanwhile Spence fought 3 months ago & we still don't know for sure if Porter is next 100% or when it'll happen. And the f#cked up thing is its sounding more like it'll be Oct or Nov for some f#cking reason so its still 4 to 5 months away more likely which don't make no sense either. Spence is gonna be 35 by the time he the clear #1 guy in this still up for grabs division.

spence is already old and he still hasnt fought a live opponent...
smh

You would of thought Garcia, Porter, Thurman, Spence are Big ppv stars because there only fighting twice a yr... that's unheard of I remember before FM fought Oscar he was fighting 3 times a yr... along with Cotto.. Pac.. and the rest of the vets, Thurman Pac would be much bigger if Spence and Porter were on the under card.. that way you know for sure those guys are going to fight each other next. I dont think Porter Vs Spence is a ppv fight unless you have another A or B level fighter on the under card like a AB or DSG.

I think if you did have that Thurman vs Pac and the undercard be Spence vs Porter the winner of the 2 meet in Dec..

But as of now its looking like the winner of Porter vs Spence has to face Danny Garcia.

I've been hearing more & more cats suggest he gots a drinking problem. Idk if thats just rumor bs or legit, but there has gotta be something up with Spence fights & maybe it is Spence idfk.

So apparently on Instagram talking to a fan, Derrick James said they signed the Porter contract a month ago. I'm gonna see if I can find the comment
