    You should have titled that - Nothing Changes.

    It's almost always rival promoters/TV companies that stop fights happening. It's very rare you learn of a fighter turning down a career high payday without their being more to the offer than let on (options?).

    Like Donaire Mares. You've got two guys on different networks (HBO, Showtime), different promoters (Arum, GBP), different sponsors (Corona, Tecate) and so on. The only way around it is to have one of their sanctioning bodies make the other guy the mandatory and let the fight go to purse bids but neither sanctioing body want to risk losing one of their big moneymakers.

    That is why throwing around PAC and Money as ATG's is a joke they have spent a decade out of not fighting the best but the best available with little threat and maximum rmarketing results . Also no one coming down the pipeline so that is why we have coddled questionable stars as Nonito, Canelo and Garcia
