The former champion explained why he will not settle for a lesser pay-day from the Crawford fight. Suggesting that the fight will bring great monetary value, he said, “I’m not fighting Terence Crawford for a million dollars. This is going to be fight of the year or definitely a candidate for fight of the year. It’s no doubt. I know who I am and I know what I can do.”
Porter is fresh off a win against Sebastian Formella, while Terence Crawford is coming off another impressive title defense against Kell Brook. So if the fight were to happen, it would be a blockbuster clash, no doubt. However, with fans calling for a fight between Errol Spence Jr and Crawford next, it will be difficult to see this fight happen.
