    Didn’t Porter turn down two million to fight Crawford ?

    Crawford is wasting away his career. Porter would be a great matchup and one to help gauge Buds status in the division.

    When Crawford came to 147 Porter's old man told him to "get a belt before you think you will get a match with Shawn". When he won a belt PBC was not interested in fighting Crawford. Less than a year ago Porter was whining about "being disrespected by Crawford" because he was only offered a million dollars to fight him. What exactly has Porter won and if he thought he could be Crawford he could have taken the fight, won and wrote his own ticket. This is just another case of PBC moving the goal posts and blaming the other guy

    So, my question is Crawford is ducking everyone or everyone is ducking Crawford? I'm just wondering.

    Crawford seems reticent to face anyone who might pose a real challenge.

    In-house matchmaking. That's all it is. Sucks for the fans and sucks for ideal clarity and legacies. For how highly Crawford is thought of, Top Rank simply has no truly credible options for him. Especially since they don't like him based on everything we hear from Arum it sounds like they hate him. So they're definitely keeping him in-house until the contract expires... Isn't there only one fight left? What's funny is that PBC could just low-ball him knowing he can't go back to TR.

    Kenny Porter crying about "Crawford not wanting to fight" Shawn is pretty rich. He wanted none of Crawford when Shawn had a belt but now that he doesn't the shoe is on the other foot. Shawn was offered 2 million to fight Crawford and turned it down

    This doesn't make sense. It would be in Top Rank's financial interest to have him fight a PBC guy.

    C'mon! Paranoid You know what I mean, don't you? Nobody wants to fight Crawford since they all are afraid of him.

    No. Why take a % of one salary when they could take a % of two salaries? If you were correct, the sports recent history would be filled with more examples of your idea than the reality I pointed out.
