[AdonisCreed]

Sources tell @TheAthleticBOX the WBC super middleweight title fight between Anthony Dirrell and David Benavidez will serve as the PPV co-feature to Errol Spence-Shawn Porter on Sept. 28

I was hoping this would take place on this card and not be pushed to late 2019.

If Benavidez wins, he can get another fight in early 2020.

Right and it's an excellent fight to compliment the Spence-Porter fight. And I think Benavidez should pull off the win.

Porter, I know you are tuff as nails plus quickness. I think Spence power & size will be too much for you to overcome. On the other hand, you still have a chance. What Ruiz did was proved everyone wrong.
Porter I know Spence has been called the Boogeyman but you can do it. You have to believe in yourself. Between now and September post photoshopped pics on your mirror of you holding Spence belts. Dont go in feeling defeated Porter. It's a reason why you have a belt. Amir Khan when in the ring with Crawford defeated. You could see it in his eyes. Win or loose Bro. Make the best of this opportunity. Make Spence respect you. He's a man just like you. You can do it Porter.💯

Staples is a great Arena, they need to Load this Card Up as well because Los Angeles can be a difficult to get people to come up sometimes

Dirrell vs Benavidez rumored for undercard.

Thats a start.

Spence better get his fat butt in shape, he has looked like sh/t the last couple pictures I have seen.

Good fight, but Spence should be the overwhelming favorite, Porter is 2 steps short of shot

Love that dinosaur picture...more people should see that I think lol

Wish I could make it bigger

The competition is getting better. $75 for one PPV show, vs cheap streaming and corporate television. I wouldn't balk at $25, but they have to sweeten the pot for $75. Porter boxed "boxed" last out, and Spence vs Garcia was like watching a cat play with a mouse. $75 is a hard sell

I look at it like this. I still see no reason to re-activate DAZN. Yet on the PPV side there's been at least one decent fight per month. And now with Carnelo kicking back, there goes the rest of the year.

Why don't they have this fight in the midwest or the south? A lot of these fighters never get the opportunity to fight close to home especially in big fights like these.

Fights in Vegas and LA end up making more at the gate due to price of the tickets
