    Florida is fully open with no restrictions

      Canelo's fighting there right? Maybe they could do it in Florida, I don't know. But when Spence fighting in front of large hometown crowds in Texas now I think Bud has to be more realistic and start getting bigger names in bigger arenas if he wants to make any money in that fight.

        Really think Al Haymon can sort out this fight. Does he have issues with dates or money? He should have sorted out this fight ages ago, something is definitely not right here with PBC.

          Top Rank is saying they can't do the fight & you're blaming Haymon? Jeezus

            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.
            More likely: Trampstamp is saying what he needs to say to keep people talking about Pacquiao. Which won't happen.

            Smoke and mirrors.

                If you follow boxing then you would know what a mandatory fulfilment is, so it meant Porter and his backers Haymon can go to the WBO and get that belt or purse bid sorted. Which means Haymon can pull out his wallet, Arum doesn’t run boxing.... If he can’t do the fight then let Haymon do it.

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?
                  They don't want the fight. That's the logic.

                    I do follow boxing that's how I know Porter isn't Bud's mandatory. What's your excuse?

                      You obviously don’t. As Porter said on his podcast he is the mandatory for both Bud and Spence... jeezus.

                      Again Arum doesn’t want to take a loss in revenue for the fight, fine he has mentioned that a few times. Let Porter’s backers put their monies into him. And bring that fight over to PBC, don’t you you guys want the fight? Why are you guys so negative about not wanting this fight? Really don’t get it.
