    You people are nuts. Porter is coming off of a loss. He lost to Danny and Keith. He should have lost to Ugas. He's not a draw and he's got a hideous style.

    Plus $1,000,000 during a pandemic is very good money.

    This could be seen even as a duck from Crawford lol. Not saying it is but offering a low figure secures an unwilling Ported. interesting.

    That's a low ball for sure! Porter been making at least 2 mil. They gave Brook 2 mil after only offering 1.5. Brook asked for 2 mil and got it. So give Porter 2 mil at least if they serious.

    Porter isnt coming off of a loss. Nor did he lose to Garcia or Ugas.

    If Bob can pay the likes of a shopworn, inactive Kell Brook, they can pay a guy like Porter, who is currently one of the top welters and a true challenge. Or no?

    I think that Porter is worth two mil because everybody knows that he comes to fight and they will be entertained.

    Bro I get he has lost but he has also had some split / close cards with the top guys including a draw.
    Heck Broner gets paid more than this and his last win was when????

    Mark Ant says Porter is scared, it must be true.

    It's such a modern thing for a challenger to feel that entitled they can turn down a title shot.

    Bud vs Porter is probably one of the biggest matches I wanna see, Bud easily handled D grade Porter in Horn, but Porter is an animal and definitely top 5 most entertaining fighters in the sport. Shame he’s not taking it up

    He's a former champion, he probably couldn't care less about belts now. Pay him appropriately and he'd fight.

    Can't believe people are calling porter a duck, he's not the one with the awful resume at welter here.

    Porter is a high risk fight for any boxer.
    If they can pay Gamboa over a million certainty they can give Porter his due.
    Porter is like a damn angry bird pecking a tree inside the ring. You can swat at him, throw punches and kick the limbs but he just keeps on grinding

    On the face of it, it looks like Porter is being a smug *******.. but really understand the boxing biz and I see his point. After taxes, leaches taking some and training fees, that million isn’t that much.. plus Crawford has been getting big money fighting bums his whole life

    Great post...After all his fees and taxes Porter might pocket $400 to $485 K after all is settled.
