What is the hold up on Porter vs Spence?

[Motorcity Cobra]

I've heard that Spence has not held up his side of the bargain by not signing the contract.

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.

I thought this fight was already signed and delivered for barclays in summer

Spence was asking for the Porters and Thurmans of the world and finally has Porter and has gone silent. I don't know what the heck this dude is doing, but if it is a hold up on his side (Which is what Kenny Porter has said) then it isn't a good look at all

He might be waiting out to see if Thurman gets injured and gets called as a fill in...just saying..it's Thurman after all.

He fought garcia basically clean, with the testing starting while he was out of shape, he wasnt hitting as hard and got tired and got slappy later in that fight. He cant make the same mistake of fighting a guy like porter clean. Guarantee this fight gets signed and spence will already have his eight pack before the official camp.

With modern testing techniques it can take a long time to cycle off.

Haymon probably doesn't even have a date for this fight yet. I mean we are hearing Wilder/Ortiz II, Spence/Porter and Garcia/Garcia are all going to take place around the same time. Obviously a lot of moving parts, and just like Spence/Garcia got bumped off last December for Wilder/Fury, it will happen again for Wilder/Ortiz. So first Wilder/Ortiz has to be situated then the other cards can get finished. Someone should ask which date Porter signed for. First it was late August and then that quickly got moved back.

spence waiting for canelo or pac keith winner.
maybe spence canelo would be better so ggg will fight booboo. then the canelo ggg 3 would be bigger. as for spence, a lost to canelo wont hurt his career, maybe it would give him more popularity then he can always take a rematch with him. this will give more leverage for future fights specially if he wins.

Early fall. Starts around the 20:00 mark

Also, Copp said in his chat that Spence was upset the fight wasn't going to be on PPV so that was part of the hold up as well.

So looks like fall PPV?

They didn't ask that question which they should've.

Only PPV fight I pay now is Spence vs Crawford. Other would have been AJ vs Wilder
