Keith Thurman has a tough fight ahead of him, but he's feeling good about it and should he win he wants Danny Garcia next.

Keith Thurman has a big fight awaiting him on June 25th when he'll face Shawn Porter at the Barclays Center in a highly anticipated fight. Thurman says he's feeling good after his injury setback which delayed the fight and is ready to Rock N Roll.

And not overlooking Porter, Keith Thurman says a win over him will solidify his position as the best welterweight in the division. At that point he'll look to target other the other titlists in the division, namely Danny Garcia.

"I would love the Danny Garcia fight and I want that WBC belt. I am not a fan of Garcia being at 147lb and he picks his fights - facing someone decent once every three fights. He would have trouble with a lot of the top welters including me, Porter and Kell Brook. The division has three undefeated champions and it is time they faced off," he added.

Obviously that's a sentiment all boxing fans can get on board with. After all, we do want to see the best fighting the best. As for the other undefeated welterweight titlist, Thurman says that Kell Brook has a nice shiny record, but that it really just might be fool's gold.

"Brook definitely has great potential and he did well to get himself a world title. His record is good but it does not have great credentials. We don't really like that over here in the USA, someone with his type of record who has only thought one or two top ten guys."

Surely there are a number of intriguing fights for Thurman in the near future (win or lose), and I don't really blame him for calling out Garcia or Brook, but first things first -- Shawn Porter will certainly be no pushover.

The constant Danny Garcia slander from Thurman:dead:
He's not getting past shawn. Danny beats anyone at 147 right now anyway tho

So, we hearing 600k from Fat Dan (ESPN), Mitch Abramason (RING TV) and Lance Puigmire (LA Times)...Rick Glazer saying 332K...and now we have this:



Kevin Iole (Yahoo Sports)







Jake Donovan from Boxingscene says those 600k numbers are :duck:, and also if we went with Glazer's report of lil g doing 97k...we have to go with his report of Canelo doing 332k as well:manny:, but I think Iole's numbers might be closer to the official number:lupe:

460 sounds most reasonable tbh. But idk 600k sounds kinds high but that 332k sounds too low

I think it's 400-500k. That's about the number Canelo does when he has to sell shyt on his own.

That's seems about right. Ain't nobody buying no ppvs for Khan.

that's crazy there is no official unbiased place for ppv numbers.

was Tyson's numbers ever disputed this much way back then? seems like it happens so much now.

and if the 460 or 322k number is correct that means they lost money if they needed 500k to break even.

:heh:

Got a feeling that Oscar and GB promotions lost zero money on this PPV no matter what they say. 375k by itself is a good number IMO

That's kinda bummy for a traditional Cinco De Mayo fight weekend with Mexican's #1 draw if that's the best he can do then Boxing and PPV is in a world of trouble.
