We cant blame Martinez for doing so. He's not getting any younger, and his career is nearing retirement. He must have been planning to get 2 big money fights out there to secure his legacy and his pocket prior to retirement. He's the lineal champion now, but his fights barely sell. Unless he beats someone who can draw big crowds, he wont get any better than 5million.
I would admire him even more if he tries to fight Bute. =)
