to be fair they are really good friends so they dont want to fight each other 9at least that was the belief and stance for a few years now) but with porter being a mandatory, it seems very likely for next year and both seems convinced they fight each other eventually
porter alluded to it earlier this year, that bud had something planned which was probably the pac fight in saudi that fell apart because of covid, which is a faight any welter would take right now than any other fight
“The fight, to the best of my knowledge, is off the table right now,” Porter recently told FightHype.com. “It’s not necessary for me to fight a tune-up. I’ll fight anybody, anywhere right now. But I do know that he’s got some things brewing and, because of the Covid, I’ve got some things brewing…The business is what’s keeping us from fighting. I don’t mean it’s the business by PBC and Top Rank. I just mean that he has some things going on that’s gonna lead him a different path right now. And I have something else going on that’s gonna lead me in a different path….Everybody’s just gonna have to be patient.”
“He said it. ‘everybody’s gotta fight everybody,’ ” Porter recalled. “He looked at me and said, ‘I don’t care about fighting nobody. I don’t care who it is….but, right now, I don’t think it’s gonna be me and you. ‘ I said ‘alright, cool.'”
