Comments Thread For: Shawn Porter: If Terence Crawford Is Willing To Say Yes, The Fight Will Happen

[Blowout]

Say yes to what? ******ity?

If you wanted Terrence fight you should have brought something to the table. But when you had substance, you ditched Terrence. Now you come up with an inflated ego demanding a title match.

Stay on your side of the street and recycle Garcia or Thurman.

He doesn’t need to strengthen his “case” for anything. Spence’s PR campaign is not working. Either he wants the fight or he doesn’t. The more comments I read the more apparent it is that Spence has actually damaged his reputation by trying to negotiate/make excuses through the media.

It's not a Spence PR its common sense in boxing that the guy who generates more revenue gets the higher split. This has always been the case in boxing. This didn't start with Spence

Wow! You’re really overdoing yourself here. Three posts in a single thread. If I didn’t know any better I’d think you were his girlfriend and you’re here to defend his honor.

That’s very sweet. I’m sure he appreciates it.

If they were trying to deal in common sense and not PR strategy they would have sent that offer in a written term sheet instead of firing media shots. And if Errol Spence was so much of a bigger draw he wouldn’t have to plead his case in the media because what’s understood does not need to be overstated. Negotiating through the media is the most tried and true way to keep a fight from happening. This has always been the case and indeed it did not start with Errol Spence.

Bud saying he wants 60/40 over Spence and 50/50 against Pacquiao is common sense? Are those serious starting points for negotiations?

Wow. This is a boxing forum not a gay dating site. Keep it pushing homie. If it ain’t about boxing I’m not interested in your comments.

How is it so hard to understand Spence is consistently making his own path & legacy by fighting elite opponents lil by lil as he builds his profile & legacy,& in the process hes becoming a ppv star & the accident just made his star shine brighter.

But Crawford on the other hand has been fighting nothing but hand picked bums like hewhomwalkon1Leg,AmereCon,KellMetLfaced Brook,Green machine,etc. & he hasn't done jack sht to raise his profile or improve his legacy & his every decision revolvs around ducking threats while waiting to cash out vs Spence,it reminds me of ggg vs Canelo in 1 regard,1 guy is trying to make his own destiny while the other waited til middle age basically to step up

(Bud still hasn't stepped up & I've been saying since he was like 29 yrs old that hed be mid 30s before fighting someone good & here we are(everyone on here knows how right my prediction was because I say it constantly)

I used to be a HUGE bud fan but not since I found out what a fraud he is happy to be rated #1 for jack sht because he works for espn whom does the rankings & staff there do rankings for ring & trb

No of course not. Talking about money splits through the media is never a serious starting point to fight negotiations no matter who it is or what the split is.

He's only damaged his reputation in your mind.

Bud has taken the easiest of routes to P4P status. His excuse is that nobody wants to fight him. Ugas and Porter are willing. Bud has no excuse for trotting out another no-hoper.

Porter should become mandatory soon. Last I saw Bob was only willing to offer Porter 1 million. I do hope that fight happens hopefully Bob doesn't mess it up.
