Terence Crawford-Shawn Porter, Undercard Weigh-In Results From Mandalay Bay In Las Vegas

LAS VEGAS – Terence Crawford walked very purposefully toward Shawn Porter, who stood in the middle of a stage Friday afternoon at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino.
It was as if Crawford, who has waited three years for this type of high-profile fight, wanted to start proving his welterweight worth right then and there. Now that they’ve made weight, Crawford will have to wait approximately 30 more hours before he’ll get that opportunity.
Crawford, 34, stepped on the Nevada State Athletic Commission’s scale at 146.4 pounds for their ESPN Pay-Per-View main event Saturday night at Mandalay Bay’s Michelob ULTRA Arena. Porter, also 34, officially weighed in at 146.6 pounds.
Crawford will make the fifth defense against Porter of the WBO 147-pound championship he won from Australia’s Jeff Horn, whom Crawford stopped in the ninth round of their June 2018 bout at MGM Grand Garden Arena. The former undisputed junior welterweight champion is listed by Caesars Sportsbook as a 7-1 favorite to beat Porter, a former IBF and WBC welterweight champion who is considered the toughest opponent of Crawford’s 13-year pro career.
Crawford, of Omaha, Nebraska, hasn’t fought in just over a year, not since he defeated former IBF welterweight champ Kell Brook by fourth-round technical knockout last November 14 at nearby MGM Grand Conference Center.
Porter, a Las Vegas resident raised in Akron, Ohio, will end an even longer layoff Saturday night. He hasn’t boxed in nearly 15 months, since he easily out-pointed Germany’s Sebastian Formella in their 12-rounder in August 2020 at Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles.
Crawford-Porter is the main event of a four-fight pay-per-view show scheduled to start at 9 p.m. ET and 6 p.m. PT. That portion of this eight-fight card costs $69.99 to watch, but it also requires at least a one-month subscription to ESPN+ ($6.99) to order it.

A real challenge is interesting to Bud...he should adapt by round 5..we'll see if Porter has some surprises in store for Crawford...
Man, I can't find anywhere that's showing this shyt around me. I called some places and no luck. I would normally just stream this shyt at home, but I'm supposed to watch it with this blasian chick. We never hung out before and I don't want her to know where I live, yet. I'll try again tomorrow.

Someone posted this before, seems pretty legit! Enter your zip code, search, and then in the second drop down box, select Crawford vs. Porter.
Yeah, I used that. I called four places off there and they said they're not showing it. It appears to me that website shows places that normally shows fights like Ale House and BWW, but those place aren't showing the fight in Tampa. I have no idea what they are thinking at ESPN. This shyt is going to do 40k buys.
