Brook v Porter as Co-Main to Mayweather Sept Fight

:thumbsupExactly! As if these same biased jokers would be questioning this same exact promotional/PPV sales tactic if it were Bob Arum making this move instead of Mayweather. You know they wouldn't.

 

Hearn is saying the August date has gone. it looks like September if the fight happens.

 

Cant say I am too thrilled if they put this on PPV, but I suppose GBP does have to make back the cash they put up on purse bid one way or another and this would be a way to do it.

 

do you know how much GBP put up for the purse bid??

 

no...if showtime does porter/brook in september it will likely headline a reg showtime card the week after the floyd ppv.....replay the floyd ppv before or after brook/porter

 

maybe floyd will fight the winner

 

no point in even having a debate with that idiot mate, he's that bad he can't even say the name Mayweather, it speaks volumes really about his ability to have a sensible discussion.

 

how is brook/porter not regular card worthy but somehow ppv worthy? are you serious?

thats a showtime main event or at least co-feature......if guerrero/kamegai can headline a showtime card(great fight...but i dont think many thought so before it started)....then brook/porter can....or at least be a co-feature.......it could be a fight on a floyd ppv as well

 

Actually I goofed, looks like they came to some agreement at the 11th hour and purse bid got called off. :conf

In which case I cannot fathom how Garcia managed to take over the August 9th SHO date versus a 19-3 lightweight moving up with 3 KO's to his name. Boxing = bizzaro world.

 

My thoughts exactly. If some delusional Brittard thinks Brook is a PPV seller in North America they are SEVERELY delusional. Hell, is Brook even PPV material in the UK? I doubt it.

 

It's a bad move because it should be a free event and yet you want fans to have to pay for it?

 

The fans aren't getting value for money because people pay for Showtime too. The quality of cards on Showtime has been crap so far and the only thing they have lined up so far on actual Showtime is that terrible 8/9 card, Porter/Brook has to be on regular Sho

 

Agreed. More TBA garbage from Haymon. I hope Show's numbers remain in the shitter and they send Haymon packing like HBO did.
