Thurman is back in MayGrowing up my dad had gotten a cable descrambler, that really helped b/c any HBO/Showtime or pay per view event I was watching, I remember even watching these "Latino Heat" cards as a kid that Bob Arum would put on pay per view when he couldn't find a network to buy the event. All the promoters these days suck, but Al Haymon is doing his best to ruin the sport. He's got a lot of top fighters & they rarely fight. Keith Thurman is probably the 2nd best welterweight & has a belt or two, hasn't fought in a year & doesn't have one scheduled. Gary Russell is a featherweight champ, probably the fastest hands in boxing & only loss is to Lomachenko, he's defended his belt twice in 3 years against guys who didn't have a chance. There's a long list of fighters like that these days, there's maybe a few fights a year I even get excited about in boxing.
Said it this past after the Garcia win
Him and porter had a talk together with reporters and Thurman basically said he wants a tune up fight before dealing with porter again
It's going to be thurman/Garcia 2 in May
Edit: I'm not saying I disagree with you at all, just letting you know some info from last weekend
