Shawn Porter eloquently exposes Rob Arum

[techliam]

Porter is not asking for $10 mil dollars but $1 mil is unacceptable. Like Thurman said, you get what you pay for. One million got you mean machine and 2 mil got you Kell Brook.



Maybe we're boxing fans who want to see Bud in a decent fight?

Does Porter want the fight, or does he want the big fight money?

If he will only fight for big fight money, then no one is ducking anyone

If he wants the fight, he can make it whenever he wants through the WBo

I want to see it too. Rather see Bud against Thurman TBH. Think that's a better fight. But unless there are crowds, you aren't going to see massive purses for regular cable. It's why Teo got paid more out of Loma's purse, because Bob wouldn't budge on the money. I doubt Crawford is going to take less money though, he was one of the guys adamant that pandemic didnt mean pay cut.

That is false. Nothing came from Loma's purse to pay Teo. Teo accepted after restructuring his contract. He restructured to get a higher guarantee even if he lost. He said this in an interview after the fight when he was asked about Loma giving up some of his purse to make the fight.

He's not fighting for $1mil. Bob's stance is $1 mil or take it to purse bid & get 25%. Just like fighters can price themselves out of a fight, promoters can lowball out of a fight.

And again where is Crawford in all of this? I guess he's cool with fighting another can as long as he gets his $4 mil while saying everybody ducking him.

So what is Porter worth? And why is he worth it? Isn't winning a world title worth anything to Porter? Isn't Covid and any loss in revenue it causes worthy of an understanding of a reduction in worth?

[maguirre]

This sport has become a huge joke.

$1 million for a chance to expose a so-called hypejob and win a belt is not enough. Most athletes would love to play in their sport just to be famous and have legacy.

Even fans of this sport have become mere cult members of this sorry joke of a sport. Their main goal is not to see a fight, rather than help make it happen. What a terrible joke we're in.

I'd like to see Arum not to give in to this terrible situation.

It’s that simple. Better yet get Haymon who we kept hearing how powerful he is, to invest in that fight and bring it over to the PBC. It would be big for their promotion as they are not doing enough big fights at the moment.

You obviously not educated enough.

He's worth a fair negotiation. Can we agree on that? Or do you think $1mil take it or leave it is fair?

Again, where is Crawford? Does he want the fight? Porter would be his first top 5 in the division at WW. This is his best friend. Can he come out and admit his best friend is worth more than that lowball? He told Spence what he deserves but can't comment on Porter?

Why hasn't Crawford came out and said what Porter is worth? He told Spence he's only worth 40%. What does he think his best friend is worth?
