I wonder if he's going to do what GGG/Canelo is going to do and just bet on himself with one fight deals, and get as much as money as possible on different platforms
GGG is at the end of his career coming off 2 huge paydays though
Idk if Porter can risk that much
But these guys are usually not exclusive nowadays
that's why I don't get the pessimistic voices about boxing's future. Yes there are 3 big US outlets now but neither of them are known to tie down fighters with exclusive deals and just in this year and the last we've seen more examples of dudes appearing elsewhere if it makes sense. I think the network thing only gonna be a problem with the biggest fights maybe. Of course a Showtime fighter probably still gonna prefer a Showtime fighter at first, ESPN fighter and ESPN fighter and so on... in-house matching won't just disappear but fights between fighters on different outlets can happen
Alvarez (PBC) vs Kovalev on HBO
Alvarez (PBC) vs Kovalev 2 on ESPN
Stevenson vs Gvozdyk (ESPN) on Showtime
GRJ vs Diaz (HBO-GBP) on Showtime
then some fighters from Showtime in WBSS on DAZN
