Comments Thread For: Spence: I Showed Skills With Garcia, I'll Show Power With Porter

[Bronx2245]

TR don't work like that, they don't just let their cash cows up an leave. If you have 1 fight left on your contract with them then either you resign or they will sit you and let you rot before giving you that last fight and you will have to take them to court which would likely take years to resolve.

TC is already 31 almost 32 now so he doesn't have time for that, plus TR guaranteed him like 4 million per fight something like that so I guess he was cool with that. In the end TR and PBC will be working together either way, not because they want to but because they have to in order to make the best fights happen like Wilder vs Fury.

Bob said him and Haymon have already sat down and talked and TC and Spence should be fighting sometime in 2020

I saw that! Funny how Bob finally realized Haymon existed! I remember just this year, when they were trying to do the Crawford vs. Danny Garcia fight, TR said they didn't know who to call? Lol!

Top Rank wanted Terence Crawford-Danny Garcia pay-per-view fight in March 2019

“Danny was sitting there and we felt you know what? It’s a really terrific fight,” duBoef told The Ring. “We didn’t want to value the loss. (Garcia’s September loss to Porter) was an entertaining fight; close fight. Garcia has marketing value as it relates to Crawford.”

duBoef and Moretti say the offer was made directly to Angel rather than Al Haymon to ensure the fighter received information about the opportunity. Top Rank chairman and Haymon haven’t done business with each other in years, so they claim there was fear Haymon wouldn’t present such an offer to his fighter.

“I don’t know who to present to with these guys,” duBoef argued. “They say they’re the promoter, they’re not the promoters. They say they’re the agents, they’re not the agents.”

If Angel told Moretti they wanted to discuss the fight further, duBoef says, at that point Top Rank would have reached out to Haymon to try and hammer out the deal. “I just want to make sure these guys get the offer,” he said.

“They know who represents these guys. We’re a management company, we’ve always been a management company,” Tim Smith, vice president of communications for PBC, told The Ring. “Phone numbers haven’t changed.”

Top Rank has few viable options for Crawford at 147 pounds, a weight division where Haymon is rich with talent. Besides Thurman, Porter and Garcia, there’s Broner, Errol Spence Jr., Mikey Garcia and Manny Pacquiao, who signed with Haymon last month.

So it behooves Top Rank to work with Haymon. Crawford is 31, but he’s yet to be party to a marquee fight (he’s coming off a 12th-round KO of Jose Benavidez last month.) A big reason for that: the lack of talent at both lightweight and junior welterweight at the time he reigned over those divisions. Now that he’s a titleholder at 147 pounds, there’s a myriad of compelling matchups to be made.

The P4P Terence Crawford won the WBO world 147 title and has made two defenses, all KO's.

Now look at Errol Spence resume as a IBF champion: Spence beat a ruined euro-bum in Kell Brooks, made a defense against Lamont Peterson -- who robbed Amir Khan using PED's btw. Then you got the young hungry lion Carlos Ocampo, who arguably took a dive.

We come to Spence third defense against a overrated lightweight Mickey Garcia, I'm not impressed bruh. Terence Crawford's resume just at welterweight is as good if not better, never mind the P4P's undisputed, x2 lineal runs at lightweight, and jr. welter.

how did brook the euro bum go to porters land and beat him decisively? so errol is fighting a bum?

kell could beat porter again too, beats him 10/10, more skillz.

Is Shawn Porter good? Is that what you are trying say? Kell Brook is finished! He was never shyte! Kells Brook has the worst career of any recent champion that I ever seen!

yet youre probs paying ppv to see someone brook beat easy while porter fought his best fight and brook is a bum? on american soil, the judges were with your man and he still lost.

why is this fight even happening? porter must be absolute trash to lose to brook. brook gave spence his toughest fight and hurt him. he was lucky it was after the ggg fight.

I don't know why Spence vs. Porter is PPV, its starting to get as bad as UK boxing with PBC pushing this rubbish on us. Spence is overrated, I'm not surprised he struggled with euro-bum Kells Brook -- that reminds me, you guys are going to pay for Khan vs. Brook, HA? I guess Spence-Porter is not that bad after-all.

i guess we will see when crawford meets spence, you seem like a crawford fan. i got spence 8-) if it ever happens anyway, spence might have moved up.

Straight left, right hook, turn, repeat!

Kell Brook fought Porter, GGG, and Spence! 2 out of 3 are P4P! Name the last person Crawford fought who was in the P4P Top 10 when he fought them?

When Bob starts talking that nonsense I usually take what he says as a grain of salt until he starts talking with some sense again lol

I think it must an old folks thing 1 min their talking rubbish the next they seem to have come back into their senses

[daggum]

Ah the bloodnose lol.

When they say they going to do something prior to the fight and then do it, it means they meant it, it gives what they said some credence, as we know talk is cheap.

If Errol stops Porter its impressive, he said he wants a KO do you think he will fight like the Garcia match or fight like the Brook match ?

Or maybe the boxer puncher like the Algieri fight.

How do you see the fight going ?

or it means its a coincidence. floyd always said he was going to stand and fight, go for the ko, etc...the times he did have hard fights were just coincidence. he wasnt trying to have hard fights. you give him too much credit for controlling everything. hes not god. i am.

i think spence will dominate the first round and near the end of the round start pounding porter against hte ropes. the bell will ring and they will stare at each other, spence will then throw a punch after the bell and porter will start kicking at spence. spence will go off on porter against hte rope and spence's manager will then come in and hold porter so that spence can hit him some more. porter will go toppling over the ropes into the crowd. fight will be declared a NC. name that fight!
