Its easy to offer someone peanuts and say " HEY, he didnt take the fight. Not my problem."

Again, i hope to see peter manfredo do well in the division, because i love local fighters. But this is gettin old.
Spina took a fight against Pina for 10g why wouldnt he take a fight against Manfredo for 35g? Dont know what Spina gets for his fights but they offered him 3 times what he got against an old opponent. What else should they do? They cant just throw money at him till he takes it. In Rhode Island Spina may draw as much as Manfredo but I would think on a national level he is not close (for TV), so Manfredo would get the bigger in their fight.
