    Whilst very true , PBC appear to be able to pay him more for a lesser fight

    Its no wonder Porter has a high sense of his worth in comparison to what it really is

    Possibly and arguably pound for pound but his promoter has not enhanced his value at all complaining about losing money on him. He should have signed with PBC to become a star.

    It’s clear there are people here who don’t understand the business side of boxing.

    I don't think Porter would ever duck anyone, he's probably trying to get even more dollar.

    Bump him to 3 million
    Allow the man to pay his team/cost/taxes and let’s make the fight.

    At that rate he still banks 1 million and if he bangs out a draw or a win he can ask for 5 next time.

    Sacrifice now for the short term just to make up with the long term gain and if they say no to 3 then take the fight and same equation mentioned above will apply

    Porter is swerving Ugas like the plague. Flat out said no rematch despite most people saw him getting his ears boxed off and getting away with a gift.

    So did Oscar and he was cash cow. The fans recognize real and know real. When you fight the best and go toe to toe you get respect win, lose or draw.

    In your 30s... towards the end of your career, would you rather fight an excellent and dangerous Ugas for 500k or p4p top 5 in Crawford for $3m?

    This. What Porter’s really worth is irrelevant, since Crawford is badly in need of a named opponent like Porter, so Crawford is despite having the WBO title is in a very bad position negotiation wise, since everybody knows his relationship with Arum is deteriorating and Arum seems like he’s under pressure from ESPN to get Crawford a credible opponent.

    Pressure from ESPN to get Crawford to produce better numbers is most likely why Arum lashed out at Crawford, but because all this was done publically named fighters like Porter are going to use it to get more money out of Crawford.

    But Porter has lost every fight against top opponents. You usually don’t get more money every time you lose. He was offered what he got last time. What has he done to increase the price? He was lucky to get the win against Ugas. Sounds like he’s pricing himself out. No way should Crawford pay a premium to fight this guy.

    Just saying. You said Porter wouldn't duck anyone. He clearly ducked Ugas.
