I read an article where he said the fight doesnt make sense for him now.

Basically heill be fightinf all Top Rank guys

Because he has fought pretty much nobodies for years and thinks he's P4P#1

What article? From when?

he hasnt refused anything yet...until he announces a fight that isnt porter or isnt good(i cant imagine many good options that arent porter) than he hasnt refused anything

im willing to give the benefit of the doubt till then...but if he doesnt make a fight with porter its not going to look good

How long is Porter supposed to wait for him?

well i dont have the answer for that....but how long as it been a week or two? i mean....id say another few weeks without reaching out to porter to get talks started would be fair....like i said....im willing to give crawford the benefit of the doubt right now....

but the way hes been acting lately seems strange for sure

Yeah it's too soon to jump on TC just yet. Fight might get made still. Also if Porter wants more than Arum is willing to pay you can blame Porter for that or can blame Arum, but Crawford doesn't control every part of the negotiation.

People criticise Crawford for not facing great opposition at 135, 140, but he fought the best available there and has never avoided anybody

thats a whole 'nother mess.....

what is good/fair pay for porter? is it going to be ppv?

but you can guarantee that if crawford doesnt want the fight bob will play the "they asked for too much" angle to protect the image

porter probably ended up taking home at least 4 mil for the spence fight...at least.....so i dunno what people would deem fair for crawford

why are you guys doing everything in your power to force this narrative? Crawford just fought I doubt he and his team have went into any negotiations with team porter, things may have been said in the media but how n the hell is he ducking porter????
