Comments Thread For: Terence Crawford vs. Shawn Porter: Eddie Hearn Declares He'll Make Purse Bid

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

One of the most anticipated boxing purse bids in recent memory will have a key promotional player looking to steal the show. Matching Boxing head Eddie Hearn has declared that should the potential fight between WBO welterweight champion Terence Crawford and former world titleholder Shawn Porter head to purse bid, he'll look to land the fight by being the highest bidder.

If it goes to purse bids it's all gonna kick off lol. Every big fight matchroom and Dazn are gonna be peering over shoulders lol. Stronger meds Bob, call your doc now.

I hope it goes to purse and DAZN wins. Their commentary sucks lol but they do a good job promoting the fights and building up the hype. TR is really foookin Crawford's prime years away

Good move for young Edward, dazn needs some big fights BADLY. Especially since they won’t see Canelo ok the app for the rest of this year at least

Dazn winning bid won’t get that many new subscribers…. Would be dumb business decision and prob move up the clock on dazn getting out of boxing period already cutting back on cards now

Funny part is that for all of his P4P#1 talk, this is FINALLY Crawford stepping up against someone (that while he "should" beat) that is a lively body. Meanwhile, Spenc and Thurman have "been there, done that"

[PeepeePoopooMan]

Rather it be on dazn than ppv. The undercard will be trash anyway

[QballLobo]

Good move by Hearn. Stick it to Arum and show that Bob won’t even pay his own guys. I don’t see this fight commanding a huge bid. Would bomb on PPV and how much is Porter willing to accept so that he doesn’t just drop out of the fight?
When’s the last time a top P4P fighter had to go to a purse bid? Embarrassing for Arum and Bud.

In my opinion, a fight between top guys from rival factions would be best served going to a third party. That way no one will have any excuses of the deck being stacked against them by the house promoter.

If dazn wins the purse bid there will not be a fight.
