He is a funny dude

[jackkeane6]

The video where he pretended to be a police officer and made that dude strip off in his car no joke had me crying with laughter

And the bold is the ONLY reason he's saying this now. He should have been saying it 5 years ago. Like Crawford

He should have also fought Jermall Charlo, when he had the opportunity a few years ago.

Saunders win over Lee alone is better than Andrades entire worthless career. So you've you've got them the wrong way round. It's Andrade who fights never were's or old has beens. He had many chances in the past to fight top fighters, but ducked them instead.

Saunders IS in the Canelo sweepstakes for his next fight. To suggest Saunders drops that fight to go after a nobody in the great scheme of things, is profoundly ******. Even a moron could understand this.

Hi Susie. I haven’t seen you in a while on this board.

Hope you had a nice Christmas.

How long ago was sanders victory over Lee ? How long ago was his win over Eubanks?

Sanders us a better resume than Andrade , I never said he didn’t but I forgot you can’t read.

If you recall BJS was going to fight Andrade 2 yrs ago but got caught cheating and the fight was off. No one with a name wants Andrade. This is BJS chance to redeem himself. Bjs has not looked impressive in his 2-3 fights , that does not get you a Canelo fight.

If that offer to Porter of 1M is accurate, that's flat out ridiculous from Arum.... TC needs to learn from Canelo separating from GBP, leave Top Rank, self promote, match the same offer to Porter he earned vs Spence....

Now we're talking!

Shawn Porter Rejects $1 Million For Crawford Fight, ‘Don’t Lowball Me’
Chris Williams
Boxing News 24
December 28, 2020:

Shawn Porter says he won’t accept a $1 million “lowball” offer for a fight against Terence Crawford, and he feels he’s worth a lot more than that. Porter, 33, says he’ll 100% face Crawford in 2021 if the money is right, and it’ll be a “Fight of Te]he Year” candidate.

The former IBF/WBC welterweight champion Porter (31-3-1, 17 KOs) wants WBO 147-lb champion Crawford’s promoter Bob Arum to use a lowball offer as a method to get out of making the fight.

If $1 million is all Arum is willing to pay Porter for a fight against Crawford, it might not necessarily be a case him disinterest on his part. You have to remember that Arum recently said that he’d lost big money on some of Crawford’s recent fights.

So one way of making some of that money back would be to offer Porter $1 million for a fight with Crawford that would likely make a lot of money.

On the other hand, if Arum isn’t certain that Crawford vs. Porter would bring in a lot of revenue, making a lowball offer is understandable.

“I’m not taking a million,” said Porter to The Porter Way Podcast. “I’ve done the best I could in sending a message to Bob Arum, and I also know people that know Bob.

“I’ve told them, ‘Tell Mr. Arum, I don’t mean any disrespect, and I know he doesn’t. If you’re going to low ball me, don’t do it. If you feel that’s how you get out of fighting me, that’s weak.

“Don’t do it. However, if you want to make the fight happen, don’t lowball me. I’m worth more than a million dollars. F a million dollars. I’m going to keep it as clean as possible, but I’m not fighting Terence Crawford for 1 million dollars,” said Porter.

If that’s all Top Rank is offering Porter is $1 million for a fight against Crawford, it’s clear that he’s on his way out the door with the promotional company.

Aside from Porter, there aren’t any big names showing interest in fighting Crawford. Manny Pacquiao never speaks of wanting to him, and Errol Spence Jr already has a full plate of options for next year.

Spence recently said he would be willing to face Crawford if he agreed to a 60-40 or 70-30 purse split. Crawford laughed at those offers and responded by saying that he wants a 60-40 split in his favor. That’s not happening, though, and it’s pointless for either of them to continue talk of ever fighting.

“We’re fighting next year, as long as the money is right,” said Porter about him being willing to fight Crawford if the money is right in 2021.

“Outside of that, what would I have to argue about? We’re going to fight at the MGM in Vegas. We’re not going anywhere else to fight. Even if there aren’t any fans, I’ve been there and done that. I think the world needs it.

“If next year rolls around, and I’m not getting my fight with Terence, I’m not getting my fight with EJ, and for whatever reason, Manny Pacquiao isn’t willing to fight me.

“I’ve already expressed my disinterest in fighting Keith Thurman, but again, I understand that if that’s the only thing I can get and he turns up and gets an injury or something like that, you may not see Shawn Porter fight in 2021.

“I’m not fighting one of the young guys. There are guys that haven’t earned the right to be in the ring with me, and I’m not going to take a step back,” said Porter.

‘Showtime’ Shawn Porter isn’t saying how much he wants for a fight against Crawford, but you have to assume it’s more than the $2 million Kell Brook received for his recent clash against Bud.

It’s quite possible that Porter would want north of $5 million to face Crawford, as the pay-per-view buys would likely be substantial on ESPN. Porter is a good talker, and he’d do the heavy lifting in promoting the Crawford fight.

With Arum holding up Crawford’s end by doing most of the interviews to get fans interested, Crawford-Porter would probably be the best pay-per-view event of Terence’s 13-year professional career.

The bar is low for Porter vs. Crawford to outdo Terence’s two past PPV fights involving Viktor Postol and Amir Khan. Those fights should have never been on pay-per-view if you ask me.

“This is going to be Fight of the Year or a candidate for Fight of The Year,” Porter said of a fight between him and Crawford.

I’d say it’s very debatable that he got ‘caught cheating’ when it was a Nasal spray for a cold which was allowed under WADA rules and would have been anywhere else in the world.

that’s what BJS says. Most fighters don’t admit to trying to cheat. Read this article and let me know your thoughts

Hope it never happenns. Would be a snooze fest with both fighters running and hugging, spacially Andrade.

[kiaba360]

Do you think fighters who take on better competition are ducking lesser fighters with less money on the table?

I guess under those conditions, everybody is always ducking then.

He was going to face Andrade in 2018, so I don't consider it to be ducking. Maybe "avoid" wasn't the right word, but BJS has been giving Andrade the wrong idea by engaging in trash-talking.
