W80 Championship Committee has scheduled a purse bid for the WBO welterweight mandatory clash between world champion Terence Crawford and top contender Shawn Porter. The proceeding will be held at noon on September 2 at WBO Headquarters in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The minimum acceptable bid for the welterweight division is $200,000 and all licensed WBO promoters can bid. Crawford is promoted by Top Rank, while Porter is promoted by TGB Promotions. The parties can still negotiate right up to September 2. If no deal is reached, it opens the door for someone like Matchroom or Triller to swoop in and steal it.

Crawford will laterally move and keep Porter at angles to rack up points. Porter basically is a pocket fighter and hits harder when his feet are planted. Crawford with frustrate Porter and cruise to a UD.
great analysis Scoobs. I think ur right on this one. i’m just happy Crawford is fighting someone worthy and durable. This fight is exciting.
Tony, thanks for the input. Have a great day today.
This purse big will be televised in the WBO FB page. I wonder why this means so much to them to do that.
You are about to witness the corruption in boxing on this one. I can feel it.
Boxing corrupt?
Yawn. Porter is a boring buzzsaw and Crawford has nobody interesting to fight unless he moves up to fight Canelo.
Canelo is too much and too big for Crawford
Hope Porter gets less than 1mill after turning down 2mil for Crawford.
Unless Triller picks this up doesn’t look like either guy making over a million?! Wasn’t minimum bid for Lopez vs Kambosos 600,000 if I’m not mistaken…
What’s the point of fight Crawford against fighters that we know he will beat
Crawford is an excellent fighter that should fight spencer r now
Isn’t Spence out for the next year recovering from a torn retina?
One of the best fights @47 that doesn’t include Spence! I hope the bid is fair for both fighters and that there aren’t any excuses! Winner of this should fight the winner of Spence/Ugas for ALL DA MARBLES
Crawford KO’ing Porter and then Ugas is next!!! Let’s go Crawford!
Not so sure this fight will happen
