    Porter is more known but he is not the A side.

    Do you not understand that NO ONE BOXER is a draw in PPV. It is THE COMBINATION OF BOXERS that draw? Comparing PPV draws with different pairs is stupid. I suppose Mikey Garcia had no part in the PPV draw he had with Spence. Damn did some of you people fall off the pumpkin truck?

    This is the most important part of it all.. If Bud can’t land Spence or Pac, then he really needs this fight. If he can KO someone like Porter or even defeat him 8-4 or better then the conversation can be had on who’s actually the best WW. I’m starting to see a lot of boxing media say Bud will beat Spence but it’s still hard to gage if he’s even at good WW..

    Crawford Brook was also in the bubble/Covid for that 2mil. Porter-Formella for instance peaked at 1.2mil.Porter Granados peaked at 696k. Porter-Danny Garcia 690k. Crawford-Kavaliauskas 1.6m viewers. Crawford-Benavidez 2.7mil viewers. I wish I could find Crawford-Horn but, it’s fairly clear Crawford has been consistently higher than Porter.

    What’s you’re problem? I’m asking a question. I want to know how many (if any) people feel Porter is the bigger draw vs Crawford in this forum since I ran into so many in the other. Do you have a reading impediment or what?

    Do you have a boxing knowledge impediment? One guy is undefeated and the other is one loss from being an also ran in the Division. Porter is consistently good enough to finish second against quality opponents. Porter has held ONE belt and he won a bout for it because it was vacant. Crawford has held belts at three different weight classes. Regardless of what the people on the "other forum" say, boxing people find the question laughable

    That's true, all I'm saying is there isn't a whole lot to separate the two in terms of viewers. I used the fights I did because I didn't want to go too far back past, kept it in 2019 and 2020 (and I forgot Porter even fought Formella :duh). I'm sure Crawford vs Porter would draw larger numbers than all of the above.

    Also noteworthy that one promoter is bitching about losing money on his fighter.
