Comments Thread For: Crawford-Porter: WBO Orders September 2 Purse Bid, To Stream Live On Its Facebook Page

The beautiful things about this is whether Top Rank get Crawford a fight or not, they have to pay him his remaining 3 plus million left on his contract come October. If I was Crawford (or Porter), I'd let this go to purse bid...you know Haymon, Hearn & Triller will bid like crazy for this fight.

And Crawford will get paid twice, once from the purse bid winner (if it's not Top Rank) and second from Top Rank who has to honor the remaining financial of his contract once it expires in October.

Poetic justice!

Bid on the fight already let's get this going people!! I'm ready to see this happen and I don't want any roadblocks!! Let's Go Shawn Porter you better not waste this opportunity. I will say this, I'll feel bad if Bud loses and that would mean Spence would have missed out on a legacy fight with Pacquiao and Crawford.... The next best options would be got him to move up and fight his best friend Charlo or risk fighting a dangerous Canelo at 160+ SMH

Porter will get stopped for the first time..... Pops Porter throws the towel around round 8-9.... large $$$$ backs that up!

I would totally watch the stream of that purse bid.

Curious to see who bids and how much.

Has anything like this ever happened before?

Seems interesting. Also kind of seems like WBO trying to look ultra-transparent like the good guys since sanctioning bodies have been under the microscope lately more than ever.

Porter got a $2 million guarantee for Spence Jr. Crawford, A GUY Y’ALL SAY CAN’T DRAW, matched the offer with $2 million.

Porter rejected it. Remember that. And he was coming off a loss and then got an easy win. Now he leapfrogs people to become a mandatory.

You are about to see how dirty this sport is.

Then you want to livestream it?? Come on man.

Shawn will walk away from this fight.

Crawford is the one making noise about moving up in weight. Now that Porter is being forced as his mando.

But let's wait and see what happens.

Crawford is not moving up in weight any time soon.

Just let the PBC promote the damn fight. They are not interested in a joint promotion with Top Rank or with any other promotional company. I'll tell you what. If the PBC doesn't win the purse bid then there will be no Porter/Crawford fight and I'll promise you that.

Thriller gonna be dropping that 12mil bid to secure the rights to dis doe

Then the fights not happening.
