Comments Thread For: Spence-Porter Shoulder Programming Produces Record Numbers

Floyd contribution to the great sport of ours has been grossly under reported. The success of the PBC comes from the hard work that Floyd put in building his brand with Al Haymon. So happy to see the success that boxing is having on Fox.

Pleasant surprise. Great fight, but I not pumped for this like other PPV from years ago. No excitement here. Maybe it's me or are these guys bland? Not a fan of the Porter style of boxing and Spence has low persona.

No buzz for this fight down here in Htown...No Pac or Top Hispanic fighter in main event.

Fight should be on Fox, not PPV, but whatever this is still great news.

It's great that he unified at 140. Against who, though? Is that enough of a legacy?

And we are talking about 147 now. What has Bud accomplished at that weight?

Spence isn't pricing himself out. Purse splits have been based on PPV track records forever. Why does that have to change now just to accommodate Bob Arum?

His best win is Gamboa in 2014, and Postol in 2016! He should've fought Pacquiao right then, and should have never demanded the fight at 140! He was 157 on fight night vs. Postol! Pacquiao could've been his legacy fight!Hindsight is 20/20!

To be fair to Crawford it was Pacquiao who didn't want that smoke. Even though both were with Arum at the time.

Lol, that's absurd to charge people $74.99 on PPV to watch Spence vs. Porter, Lol. When bigger fights like Canelo-Kovalev and Joshua-Ruiz 2 are no where near that price, you think I'm going to pay $74.99 for Spence-Porter, Lol GOH


Streaming Spence-Porter will be fine, thank you very much.

3-4 headliners on one card. it will do well.

I've posted the articles plenty of times! Crawford demanded Pacquiao to come to 140, or no fight! That was after beating Postol! To be fair to Crawford, Team Pacquiao kept saying Manny's best weight was 140, even though he was fighting at 147. However, that was not a good look! You don't make demands to a legend in the game! If you want that bag, you do what you need to do! Oscar dropped 7lbs.! Cotto dropped 2lbs.! Margarito dropped 4lbs.! Crawford did not move up, but then moves up for a fight with Horn! Maybe Crawford thought Pacquiao was washed? Broner and Thurman would tell you different!

Benefits of being on FOX especially during the NFL Season is that they can lean off the most popular sport in the U.S. by far which is something CBS/Showtime does NOT DO enough of for whatever reason. I don't blame PBC for moving Wilder to FOX, he will receive even better Promo because they will be running his Promos during NFL Season as well as during the MLB World Series
