snippet from the article:

Porter (30-2-1, 17 KOs) has pushed for a welterweight unification showdown with Spence (25-0, 21 KOs) the past few weeks. On Sunday, Porter revealed that his request might be granted soon.

“I think we got Errol Spence next. We’ll see,” Porter told reporters in Oxon Hill, Maryland, before Sergey Lipinets defeated Lamont Peterson.

Porter had another nugget before taking his ringside seat: “Oh yeah, it’s a pay-per-view fight.”


my comment: LOL. Big surprise.

[jeff_lacy_ko]

Yup.... al doesn't have enough cash to pay Errol to fight a name. Its an economic necessity for him at this point

Really wanted Spence-Thurman, but I'll take Spence-Porter...but please not on PPV!!!

At least we'll get a unification though.

The Spence/Garcia ppv success was a case of good news/bad news. If it hadn't done as well as it did, there's no way this would be ppv. We would either get a better fight (Spence/Crawford or Spence/Thurman) or a non-ppv fight.

Felt the same way about Spence v Garcia, but the stream in the living room was pretty good so that’s my new go to. Would be nice to watch on free tv without the threat of a stream freezing up, but I ain’t paying for a ppv unless it’s a ppv worthy fight

NO

Man, remember when HBO was still around?

[J.J.Dillon]

Spence by murder.

Yeah. it was great until Haymon came on the scene and seemed to have incriminating photographs of Ross Greenburg or something. Then we started getting Andre Berto bum-of-the-month showcase cards.

Now, the fans' greatest hope is with DAZN.

[TopNotch86]

I will never pay for a porter fight.

Reports are saying this fight might be on Fox and not PPV. If this is true, this is really good news

[Danielk015]

might be the most pleasantly surprising news of the year.

This is excellent news.

After Spence/Garcia disappointed viewers almost nobody paid to watch the Crawford/Khan disappointment. Good news but they are only putting this on free TV because they have to, not cause they want to. No accolades from me for that. I mean, they are doing the right thing but it isn't like they have another viable option.

What were the projected numbers for Spence vs. Garcia because I think this article said it did 350k.

It did pretty well but the fight stunk. I think the numbers for Crawford/Khan probably reflected fan's disappointment in that previous PPV. I do not think their mood has changed favorably since then is all I'm saying

[Canvas]

Yeah buying a stinker ppv will sour you on buying another

[Canvas]

Showtime has this. Anyone with me? No?

I believe in you Shawn.

I don't think Garcia vs. Spence affected Crawford vs. Khan because most people saw how much of a mismatch Crawford vs. Khan was and I don't think the numbers would have been any better no matter what fight it was coming after. Besides, it's not like Crawford was that popular on PPV anyway. His lone PPV bombed. I think it did less than 50k.

Really good news. We shouldn't have to be paying for any of this crap.

Porter brings it and is a helluva good guy. His dad seems pretty solid too. I don't care what the naysayers say.... Shawn is up against a monster, but he will bring war.

I'd give the old Porter(the brawler/mauler), a better chance to beat Spence, than the new Porter(tries to box/look cute, but can't really do it). Porter will try to box, and get picked apart from the outside early, then Spence will break him down late, and possibly stop him.

aaannd......so much for that

What happened?

[Canvas]

Word is that the fight is off. Spence wants big money and they can't make it work on Fox. If it does get made it will be ppv on a later date.
