He may as well he's not guna get a title fight off anybody else and he isn't going to earn more off anybody else either and with Crawford he gets both.

There is always a chance that Porter doesn't actually want the fight and this is just an attempt by another PBC fighter to try to make Crawford look bad. Thurman came out of nowhere and started having a whine at Arum too and Spence is staying well clear of anything regarding Crawford as usual.

I think this is just a crusade to try to downplay Bud and his worth any opportunity they can.

He'll probably fight a guy you gotta boxrec for a mill if he don't get a top name guy next.

So say Top Rank offered him the 2 million and he turns it down like he said he will, what better options are out there for Shaun?

Who is going to offer him a title fight?

Who would he choose to fight that would see him offerered more?

Personally I don't see any current viable options for him that can match those criteria. So to me it makes no sense to turn down 2 million Dollars. Its a good offer, not great offer but as far as I can see there are no better options.

In which case I'm not sure how it would be proof that either Bob or Terrence are trying to duck this Porter fight. Clearly the 2 they really want would be Spencer or Pacquiao but if neither of those are guna happen.

I don�t know who he is going to fight next but I don�t know why you want him to take a deal that clearly is underpaying him.

Your basic point is Crawford is offering the most so he should take it, even though we know taking that offer would be a ****** financial move.

All I know is Kenny Porter had recent conversations with TR personnel and the fight is still being negotiated. Arum said option #1 for Crawford is Pacquiao and if they can't make that fight then they will make the Porter fight.

The 2M quote was from damn near a month ago, nothing recent. So Porter's first option needs to be Crawford and second option is the Spence rematch.

Fight another part-time fighter(Formella) for a small payday he or his promoter will never reveal in order to keep up appearances.

When did Porter say he'd turn down 2 mil? (I think Porter will take what is provably fair as in based on prior fights) I don't think Crawford wants that fight until he gets Pac or Spence(too risky for safety 1st Bud)

He said it during his podcast a few weeks ago. Something along the lines of that's what Brook made and he's bigger than Brook and also a PPV draw, so 2 mill wouldn't do it for him

Why is it under paying him based on earnings from previous fights? Getting the chance to fight for a belt for similar money he was earning when he was a world champion himself doesn't sound so bad.

Has uncle Al been paying him what he is worth? I don't see where he is taking such a massive pay cut here.

If he isn't worth that much fighting anybody else how do you figure he is worth so much?
