    Mm, I don't know about all that. I'm not opposed to such a concept, just it's the first time I've heard of this term and to be fair, he didn't say that. I don't think anybody means to refer to themselves as a ppv second fiddle.

    Only PPV he's ever had was against Spence right?

    My 2 cents, I don't think people like watching Porter enough to reach into their pocket.

    I would love to see him against Crawford and he probably beats Crawford in a dog fight. Maybe people want to pay for that, what do I know.

      If Porter & Spence can do over 300k you don't think Bud & Porter can? Or do you think Spence is that much bigger of a star than Bud?

        I think Porter went into that fight with a bit of hype he doesn't have right now.

        Average ppv buys could prove me wrong and I admit I don't have those numbers in front of me, but it feels like Spence is way more hype than Crawford is.

              No he did not. Everybody was saying Spence would be the first to stop Porter. Porter came out better than he went in & it was a split decision and some even thought Porter won. Go back and read the fight thread

                Not even PPV. I don't know how many times I told everybody here to go look at the Garcia vs TR lawsuit. It shows Mikey was getting paid more than his reported purses and he had never been on PPV.

                      Bob Arum is trying to bait Haymon into bidding low at the purse bid so he can get Porter for cheap. Lord knows Arum cant let Crawford fight outside of ESPN. He trying to pretend that hes gonna let Haymon win the purse bid purposely and let Haymon host the fight, but he really just want Haymon to bid low so he can win the purse bid for cheap.
