Porter didn't reject $2 mil to fight Crawford

[Motorcity Cobra]

He wasn't offered any money & the fight isn't happening

Rick, @terencecrawford vs. @ShowtimeShawnP is a solid fight but nobody has has offered anything to either guy. Can’t imagine it taking place without paying customers to provide an upside in their purses so we’re several months from proposing it.

They are in negotiations bruh. The two mill rejection came directly from Porters mouth on his podcsst saying "2 mil is an insult". Dont start making declarations that the fight wont happen.

Right, I actually ended up reading the article where that report came and they were taking quotes from his podcast like a month ago.

"Several months from proposing it" so does that mean Crawford won't fight until the fall or even later if he doesn't get the Pacquiao fight?

And they keep talking about paying customers but we have just seen three fighters do over a million in gate revenue in Texas and two of them eclipsed the 2M mark. If they want fans, they can put the fight in Texas and get a good gate revenue for the fight. I'm not understanding that logic?

He never said he was offered $2mil
He said what he wouldn't accept

Didn't Porter say 2 mill would be an insult because it's what Brook got and he has a bigger following here than Brook? Not that he'd been offered 2 mill but that he would turn it down based on that

Porter did not reject any 2M offer....since there was none. He was going off of Arum's initial comments but Trampler is saying the fight won't be proposed until a few months from now.

Kenny Porter did meet with TR officials last week but no offers have been made. Arum is rightfully preferring the Pacquiao fight for Crawford but said he will try to make the Porter fight if that one doesn't happen.

But now Trampler is coming out and saying this so who really knows if the fight gets made soon or not. If you "propose" it a couple months from now so in April or May, that means the fight won't be taking place before September, possibly late July. That doesn't really make much sense tbh.

Yea. Im just telling you where that noise started. They are in negotiations right now, those offers are to start the ball rolling. But Kenny is already in there crunching numbers with Arum. So dont say the fight wont happen when they are still negotiating.

He's going off of what Trampler said stating "so we're several months away from proposing it."

There is a chance that Trampler is not in the loop right now or the fight really won't be seriously discussed until a few months from now. But that was an odd statement right there considering there are still venues to hold the fight to bring in a gate.

Top Rank is saying the fight isn't happening without a gate, not me. Its not hard to see the fight isn't happening at all

How about they host the fight in Omaha? Are there strict Covid rules there like Vegas? You could have a sold out arena and a chance for Porter to get the win in Terence's hometown in front of a large disappointing crowd must be enticing.
