9/28 PBC on FOX PPV: Errol Spence vs Shawn Porter (WBC/IBF Welterweight Title unification)

[reservoirdogs]

That may be true . . But doesn’t negate the fact that he has to build a resume so the fight can maximize market value

that would be smart I agree, just saying he won't become irrelevant because FOX is ignoring him. The only thing FOX is achieving with consistently pretending champs from other stables don't exist it them looking like a$$holes. ESPN does this too time to time, DAZN is the only one who often include champs from other stables in their conversations tbh. It might be only because they are a new network in need of sucscribers and they can't even try to pretend that it's only them and nobody else but still it's more likeable than trying to be slimy and get some casuals think it's only you out there (ineffective too, as we are in the social media age).

he cant keep fighting trash forever. these PBC boys are fighting each other and doing it big. crawford has no leverage. that's why i think he has to go to someone like porter first, get on a joint PBC venture and get their casual audience to see what he can do. then the demands for a spence/porter fight will build the money potential even bigger than what it is right now.

He is a generally more known fighter than anyone at PBC 147 besides Spence and maybe Swift, don't think he HAS to raise his profile to fight Spence. I would like to see him against bigger names though, some PBC names for example, I agree with you on that. However it's not that likely, unfortunately. What I can imagine if Bud fighting the winner of 140 WBSS (or the undisputed 140 champ if Ramirez fight the winner before) at 147 that would be a really good win too.

I just said this a few pages ago, Spence needs to get better out the ring habits. All that drinking and Rudy's chicken catches up to you after 30 and Spence is only a few months away from 30.

 

[LennoxWine]

This tough fight is more of a reflection of Porter then Spence. Porter has never been white washed, nor knocked out, and has only been knocked down twice. He's extremely awkward, rugged and oozes heart.

One thing is for sure, Spence better cut down on his bad habits outside of the Ring. Two fights in a row he has looked winded. Tonight he looked extremely dry to me. The energy just wasn't there. He seriously needs to cut out the drinking and blowing up between fights. Danny is an easier fight for Spence, seeing as he isn't as awkward and is more hittable.

Spence still beats Crawford and Canelo, but he will have to be in peak condition to do it.

The fukk. He was pushing off SHAWN PORTER in the 12 round to try to create room to throw punches. He threw over 1000 punches in the Garcia fight. If Spence doesn't have elite stamina I don't know who does.

And no, Spence can't beat Canelo.

I owe you an apology...



If he says he can do better, he can do better...Still can't beat Canelo though

 

[LinusCaldwell]

Manny tires out 5 rounds in...Spence damn near kills him.

I saw Crawford trending on twitter during the day, that sucker ass "let's pretend he doesn't exist" tactic won't work. Crawford is on ESPN/ESPN+/ESPN PPV, won't just disappear from people's eyes just cause FOX doesn't wanna talk about him.

As soon as the ppv started like literally the very first thing on tv was a Nintendo Punch out segment

They literally showed “Terrance Crawford” a big ass graphic

What more you want from these nikkas? Mention bud like HBO did GGG erry 5 secs


Matter fact how many times has ESPN put a PBC nikka in a graphic?

They too busy propping up whatever euro cac Bud is fighting N pretending it’s the next thing since sliced bread

he cant keep fighting trash forever. these PBC boys are fighting each other and doing it big. crawford has no leverage. .

This is circular logic. It's ok if no one from PBC ever calls him out because he hasn't fought anyone. He can't fight anyone because none of the PBC fighters will fight him .......

And how does he have no leverage?
He damn near made more than Spence and Porter combined in his last bout. Is backed by the biggest sport network on earth. Has a belt. No Ls. And has PPV of his own.
He fights a match no one wants to see cause he essentially getting blacklisted == Top Rank ruining boxing.
Spence about to fight a match no one wants to see == he's marinating the Crawford bout for 2025 so he can get the $10 mil he should have got last night

just finished watching porter vs spence @Knicksman20

outstanding fukking fight...a clear FOTY...with that being said it was dumb close

i had it 114-113 Spence..the KD was the reason

Spence gives me Hurd vibes because Porter was landing a lot..Spence needs to tighten that D..Porter also rocked him enough times to make me go
Porter fought like a man possessed on a mission. One of the few times I was actually impressed by Porter fighting because I dont know how he took the shyt he took. the KD was a thing of beauty caught at the right time as shawn was throwing, right on the chin. Then Porter came roaring back for the rest of the fight. i thought Spence would win but i thought Spence would beat him down and stop him late due to me perceiving Porter struggling to make weight and starting to get worn down. Now I dont have a problem with Spence being on a p4p 10 list..he earned it. But he is not head above any welter at this time. He is very beatable or risk to really get broke by a prolific puncher. Great fight..time to watch Benavidez vs Dirrell

he has no leverage because nobody cares about these latest opponents or any opponents he has on the horizon. manny leaving top rank made it even worse for them. i didnt create these circumstances, but they exist. gotta do something about it or end up with a disappointing welter career

There’s a cross promotional opportunity for the entire PBC welterweight roster - PBC needs to open the doors to Crawford so they can begin to build the value of the Spence versus Crawford fight


When Mayweather and Pacquiao earned 9 figures together Mayweather had already had a fight in which he earned 9 figures and multiple fights earning a high 8 figures and they had already shared mutual opponents . . You don’t make these fights after a boxer just made $2 million in their previous fight. It’s not responsible and would represent a lapse in promotional responsibility, that would essentially be robbing someone who is putting their life on the line to earn this money - to restate (what should be) the obvious - you have to build that fight and that includes opening the PBC roster to the cross-promotional opportunity of fighting on ESPN


The next move should be Porter versus Crawford, Porter would do well on ESPN, he would be introduced to a wider audience

Porter would be an incredibly tough fight for Crawford, just like he would be for anyone in the division

 

[aceboon]

Well there we go, DSG don't really deserve this fight other than being a name. Sucks that Ugas gotta keep working

 

[NormanConnors]

Never felt porter lost to Keith at all on no playbacks...

Brook was holding alot in a close match, but he dictated pace..

I mean even swift alleged L he showed levels spence didn't show vs porter....

Spence capitalized on porter jumping in head first and backing straight up to the ropes at times...that was more to do with porter

Besides being stunned against Thurman, when was Porter dropped or even hurt against those guys? Ugas, Spence, Brook = fights Porter was clearly dominated and deserved that L.

I thought he lost to Thurman and beat Swift though.

Overall he suffered the most damage dealing with Spence
