No but I can make the drive to an event if I can plan it.
So that dude that does the podcast aint gonna let me put my foot on @Newzz neck?
They trolling us now
Porters never signed anything... Never received anything to sign...all Ken Porter did was tell the matchmakers they wanted One Time...this whole time Porter felt they weren't being told what was goin on
Hold up...hasn't Kenny Porter been yapping for weeks to anyone with a digital camera and a notepad talking about "Keith won't sign the contract, that's the only hold up" but now he and Shawn have never received any contracts for this fight either?
So if the Porters haven't even seen any contracts then how is Keith the one holding up the process? Why is Kenny acting like there is only one contract that has been drawn up to sign and it is at Keith's house in Florida and until Keith is done with it there is no way for the Porter Team to even read the agreement? Has PBC even drawn up a contract for this fight at all? Why does Kenny Porter run his mouth like a gossipy ho all the time?
Inquiring mindth want to know the anthers to thethe questhens.:lethallisp:
Kenny Porter: No Shawn Porter-Keith Thurman – yet
Andreas Hale
October 7, 2015
Word has been spreading like wildfire that a big time matchup between Keith Thurman and Shawn Porter will take place on Dec. 12 and be aired on Showtime. However, we may have to pump the brakes on the excitement because when RingTV.com reached out to Porter’s father and trainer Kenny Porter, he was very cut and dry with his response.
“No fight to my knowledge,” Porter said to RingTV.com via text message. “No calls! No contract! No date!”
Team Porter has been actively seeking a big name to face before the end of the year after scoring a high-profile win over Adrien Broner back in June. Kenny Porter told RingTV.com that they originally had plans to go after Danny Garcia but Garcia’s team turned down the fight. They soon turned their attention to the heavy-handed Keith Thurman, who was recently seen scoring a seventh-round TKO against Luis Collazo to defend his WBA welterweight title.
“(Team Thurman) know Shawn from the amateurs when Shawn was knocking out people at 165 pounds,” Porter told RingTV.com in a recent interview. “They know what they have to deal with. Keith was 152 and he was losing to Demetrious Andrade while Shawn beat him in the world games. They know and are aware of what went on then and what will go on once they take that fight. There’s no posturing going on for TV we just want the next fight to be a big one and we made the call.”
Both Porter and Thurman were seen speaking to one another quite often during the week of Floyd Mayweather vs. Andre Berto. The two were photographed together and it appeared that there was a possibility that a high profile showdown between two rising stars had potential to take place.
But, at least according to Kenny Porter, there is no fight set in stone.

Stop it 5.....thing is ufc on fox are all ppv-level main events
will be interesting to see how this compares with cerrone/dos anjos
Dope show last week with the trainers on. I don't agree with the GGG shyt but he had good insight.Getting the 411 from Michael Woods on the show right now. The Ruckus Boxing Podcast by BadCulture.net
You cant get a contract if both parties aren't willing to fight...and it's obvious which one doesn't want the fight
Besides, Ken Porter BEEN said this....yall apparently didn't read it when I posted this 3 weeks ago:
Thurman said he wanted the fight though, so Shawn turned his sights on him, did face off's for Mayweather/Berto and all that...then Keith Thurman forgot how to speak, forget Haymon's numbers to call and request the fight like the Porters did, and even forgot where the media is to atleast issue 1 response to the Porters
Dope show last week with the trainers on. I don't agree with the GGG shyt but he had good insight.
No. He made it seem like GGG didn't need to move up.what part? about him being ducked by sergio?
Yeah because Thurman writes the contracts and secures the venues for PBC cards.
And let's not act like Keith Thurman is some chatty dude constantly searching out microphones or tweeting non-stop.
Dude gets interviewed when he shows up to other people's fight cards. So his silence is basically normal behavior for him unless he is out somewhere that boxing media is at. Kenny is the one who acts like his last name is Kardashian and constantly looking for some press.
Finally, if there is no contract then that is an issue to be addressed to Allah Haymon because he is in charge of those things.
"Amir Khan is the No.1 most overrated welterweight in the welterweight division,” Thurman said via Thaboxingvoice.com. “I thought [Floyd] Mayweather was a cherry picker. Boy, [Khan] you pick some cherries. He fought Devon Alexander, one forty pounder at 147, and now he wants to fight Chris Algieri, another lightweight that you’re making move up; someone who don’t got experience like other welterweights in the top 10 get. He’s not even a top 10 fighter and Ring Magazine wants to put him above me. Get that [expletive] out of here. Amir Khan ain’t ready for Keith ‘One Time’ Thurman, because if he was ready, we would do it tomorrow, son. I’m here, baby. Come get it. Man, you soft, boy.”

Miguel Cotto and Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez have been warned that Gennady Golovkin will not chase them in pursuit of a fight.
The winner of the WBC middleweight title clash on November 28 between Cotto and Alvarez, which is being contested at a 155-pounds catchweight, would be in line to defend their belt against pound-for-pound colossus Golovkin next.
Alvarez has suggested Golovkin should also agree to a similar catchweight but the Kazakh's trainer has insisted that can't happen because he is aiming to add to his IBF and WBA belts at 160 pounds.
"'Canelo' hasn't got a leg to stand on if he's going to demand to fight at catchweight," said Abel Sanchez to On The Ropes Radio.
"If he can't fight at 160 pounds then he can vacate the belt and we can fight somebody else."
Golovkin has forged an intimidating 34-0 record with only three victims escaping a knockout, and most recently halted David Lemieux earlier this month.
The undefeated KO specialist has been challenged by Chris Eubank Jr but his trainer Sanchez has warned all comers that Golovkin's focus is on middleweight title belts, not specific opponents.
"Gennady is not after Cotto or Canelo," said Sanchez, whose California gym is home to Golovkin. "Gennady is after the middleweight belt and he wants all four of them, the major ones.
"Once he does that, then we'll look at other options, but Cotto or Canelo is not what's on his mind.
"The middleweight belt is what's on his mind, and whoever is across the ring is the next victim."

I think they want to do like what Kilts are doing with the HW division. Once you collect all the belts they have no choice but to fight you. Old school way of thinking but it won't make him a star.i don't think beating either of them makes him a star. Him beating Ward probably wouldn't either. He needs to be able to prevok some type of anger and hate. Unless they play up the clean cut white boy image.Gennady Golovkin's trainer warns Miguel Cotto & Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez
It is funny that the Golovkin camp really think they have any real stroke in negotiations or that securing one of the Alphabet Belts is more impressive than a win over a top fighter.
I love #Thurminators excuses for Thurman. Im gonna have to put these in my backpocket to use in the future when a situation like this arises with one of my fighters
We know he doesn't write the contract, no fighter draws up contracts, however, he does have the power to go to Haymon & request that he fights Porter.....same way Shawn Porter did him and same way the Breadman says EVERY PBC fighter can do.
By the fight not being offered to Shawn Porter, the whole "show" Thurman put on...
...was fraudulent. He really DOESNT want the fight, or the Porters would've gotten a response back by now. Let Swift, AB, or Khan pull this move, and all of a sudden, yall eyes would open to the blatant ducking going on infront of your eyes.
Because yall are blinded by standom, it's not obvious to you
Really breh? This is totally false. I can upload probably 10 videos/interviews from Thurman running his mouth over June-September alone. AFTER he did the face off with Porter, he went into hiding.
Awwwww man
I could've swore we slandered Swift when he says "I fight who Haymon wants me to fight", but now that excuse is being used by Thurminators? In regards to the SAME Keith Thurman who says "I have an 0 and I aint afraid to let it go!"
The same Keith Thurman who claimed he was searching for the best fights is now.....cherry picking?
He cant call Haymon and request a fight with Porter now, he waits for Haymon to bring fights to him?
Didn't he say this in regards about Khan?
But now that it's Shawn Porter who's the one who is ready, and not Khan, they CANT do it tomorrow?
Okay
