But isn't this Crawford's last fight with top rank?

Arum said he might re-sign if he wins.

So maybe...we'll see Pac/Bradley 1. #AndNew

Crawford is TR's best! Porter is probably PBC's #4 behind Spence, Thurman, and Ennis. He also got a gift vs. Ugas!

I was suprised that PBC did actually put one of their star fighters, namely Wilder, in with a fighter from another promoter, as with Fury, even though there was risk, and he did lose.

It shows that if the promoters and networks get enough of a profit, it's all good. Porter is in a tough match here, but he'll be competitive, although I think Crawford will outbox him.

Promoters having their fighters take risks is great for the sport. Eddie Hearn put AJ in with Usyk, and AJ wanted the fight, although they knew the risk.

With Mayweather-Pacquaio the networks and promoters knew regardless of the result, they were in the money.

Only because Porter didn't beat him in 2016! Thurman is washed now, but Porter had his chance and didn't win!

If this is war, then Shawn Porter is a pawn. The PBC knights have not even moved, Terence Crawford is in the center of the board with The King's Gambit. But what a tool this Shawn Porter is, a yes-man.

Tyson Fury was coming from being ballooned to 400 pounds and being a drug addict, so it was a cherrypick gone wrong for Al Haymon. Should have just negotiated an AJ-Wilder fight at 60-40 split, Wilder would have made more money and also would have become the undisputed heavyweight champion.
