No, Porter doesn't deserve equal credit. He's not as big of a star as Spence. You can give Mikey equal credit, but Spence won, his star power has grown and Mikey's has diminished.
Crawford gets 3 million a fight. Spence gets 8 million a fight. Why would Spence give Crawford 50/50?
And why would Fox or Showtime want to go through the headaches of a split PPV with ESPN when Spence vs. Pacquiao is a much bigger fight than Spence vs. Crawford and doesn't require bringing in another network?
