Porter, Thurman, Danny all ducked Crawford by pricing themselves out... when they had belts they were nowhere to be found.. after taking Ls they want career high paydays just to fight Crawford for the strap. Porter had only made $1.2m his last fight.. Danny turned down $3m plus ppv and a title at the time just to make less facing a bum... Thurman wanted $10m :mjlol:..


No one can give a logical answer for this. Why do the required purses quadruple when it's Bud time. nikkas will bring up Khan, Bob Arum and a bunch of other juelzing :scust:
Fighters with no good fights on the horizon, no belts, coming off losses but you posed to get double and triple your biggest in house base. ok :mjgrin:

Because he was washed and garbage and didn't produce buys..of course nyggas are gonna want something in that ball park.
:francis: washed and Garbage?? He was 5-0 at 147 with wins over Devon Alexander, Collazo, and Algieri.. Just sold 600k buys on ppv and brought in a whole international revenue stream with Box Nation from overseas...

nikkas can want what Khan got all day but that dont mean they are entitled to it

Why Khan would have leverage to get more money than Shawn fukking Porter shouldn't even need to be explained. Khan made more in the Canelo fight than Porter made his entire career :russ:, like what are dudes talking about here. The fact Khan could even get a Canelo fight should be enough to understand they are not the same. Regardless who you think is better. Dude probably could still get more than the $1.5m Shawn going get his next fight if he could finesse his way as an opponent against somebody again

He got the canelo fight because it was a light touch..a pattern with canelo....what international fanbase? Where was this when the Crawford fight bombed on a astronomical level??

That's not a valid excuse for fights not getting made.. side of the street politics is just smoke n mirrors for guys ducking by pricing themselves out
Ya but u know how things work with promotional companies and making deals with the other side, u sign where the talent is at, fighters know that.

Really?? So how did Fury vs Wilder get made? How was Fury vs AJ about to get made had it not been for the arbitration ruling?? How Haymon just offer ggg a deal for Charlo?.. yall gotta stop making excuse for these diva ass pbc welterweights.. Sure it may be EASIER if everyone is on the same promotional company but that IS NOT what's stopping fights from getting made breh.. Hell we coulda got Porter vs Crawford had Porter simply contacted the WBO to be mando.. Porter thinks he's special and wants to be treated as some A list celebrity.
