    Arum: We should negotiate upside. Porter response: I dig it!

    But also essentially say’s he’s worried the PPV buys with Crawford might not cover the amount he wants. Time-stamped.



    What do the fans think? Can a Crawford-Porter PPV cover the fighter’s purses?

    Well this is it, the same ppl who laugh at Crawford fights doing bad numbers also demand fighters get more money than a fight is worth.

    Why don't Porter or Thurman get Haymon to bring something to this party?

      Great, because the money isn't there. Gamble on PPV, and if you sell well then you would get well paid.

        They never put anything on that side. He is one of the most powerful man in boxing but his boxers want ridiculous handout from others.

          Guys are demanding millions of dollars for 600k TV viewers or 250k PPV buys. It was never sustainable.

            They just got burned by Fury and Arum. I can’t see Arum and Haymon ever doing business together ever again.

              And whose choice is that? I'm sure Arum is still willing to do business.

                  Because Crawford has an exclusive deal with ESPN

                  They want to get paid what they regularly get paid. Oh the horrors

                    Shawn Porter requesting that Terence Crawford do his part to promote the fight, OR WHAT?! Are you going to pass on your mandatory shot?

                    SHUT THE F-UP PORTER! Get ready to go to purse-bid and take that 30% split bozo.
