    Please put your brain together...please.

    Spence vs Porter was a Unification fight.

    Crawford vs Porter isn’t, and Porter lost to Spence.

      Crawford vs Brook isn't a unification fight either. Yet that's what we are going to get.

      If that's the case then wouldn't it be better to get Crawford vs Porter instead?

        But Spence and Crawford are not on the same level of stardom. You can judge that by their tv ratings and by their PPV sales, as it has always been done.
        They actually are on the same level but you don’t realize it. You can deny it all you want but most people see they aren’t big names at all. You are acting like one guy is Canelo and the other guy is Angulo. Both of them are in between those two guys.

          Crawford should fight Ugas next and hopefully the guy(Ugas) doesn't let Haymon **** up his opportunity overpricing himself or turning down the fight like Ortiz or Kownacki.

            They aren't on the same level. One is a draw on tv and PPV and the other is not.

            You can't make them be equivalent.

              still not understanding that ortiz made more rematching wilder than he would have fighting AJ huh?

              and that haymon also landed two big paydays for his client..one andy ruiz....was haymon supposed to get all of his HW clients the AJ fight at once?!

              fckin dumb, blind, haymon haters...gotta love em

                Most people agree they are equivalents though. You can keep on citing draws and ppv, but neither guy is this big star you want one of them to be.

                  What proof do you have that most people agree they are equivalents?

                  The cold, hard numbers show that people must not agree. They are tuning in to watch Spence on tv and they buy his PPVs.

                  While they aren't doing the same for Crawford. See the flop Pay Per View with Amir Khan.

                    You are trying to justify one being a star when they both have less than three ppv, combined. Might as well say Antonio Margarito is a bigger star than both.

                      No because Porter is at best a gatekeeper who thinks he should be paid like a PPV fighter. The very idea of Crawford vs Porter on PPV is a joke and its because of Porter's purse expectations. Top Rank should make an offer to Ugas to fight on regular ESPN. Ugas a fighter who beat Porter to everyone who knows how to score a fight.
