Why does Porter keep getting rewarded for mediocre

Better question: Why did the WBO order Crawford order #2 Porter instead of #1 Vergil Ortiz Jr.???

Decent fight; hope it happens. If Crawford is as good as most people believe, he should come away with a decisive victory, though we don't know for sure how good he really is at WW, as this will be the best opponent he has faced. In that sense, it's a decent test. Odd for a long-standing champion only to be facing a decent test this deep into his career, mind you.

Keith Thurman basically said that Bob Arum forced the wbo to mandate Crawford vs Porter because Bob has been having issues with Terrence Crawford and they waana see him lose

Total BS. Why would Bob want to see his top WW lose? That means lower profile fights and less money for Bob the promoter. They still have a contract. This is foolishness. Bob wants his charge to face the top PBC guys like everyone else so he can maximize his profit.

“We talked to PBC as late as yesterday and it looks like Porter is on board or close to being on board, and hopefully, Terence will be on board and we’ll announce that fight next week hopefully,” Arum told ESNews in an interview published Sept. 9.

Not a good sign, when you don't know if your own fighter is onboard!

That's right.....
The Bid still on
Let's see who gets it

Liar. This will go to purse bid
