But Santa Cruz wants the fight. But the fact of the matter is when faced with an easy way out, like Haymon provides, then it is a real no brainer- he can jump from making 100k per fight to well over 500k and up per fight. Particularly when the main reason you got into the fight game was to make money.
The *NEW* Rules of Thump for picking a promoter/manager:
1. Haymon can get you the money in the quickest and easiest way possible.
2. Top Rank and Golden Boy can get you MEGA MILLIONS, but it comes with extreme risk and a loss or two.
3. Shaw/Roc/Duva can get you the title shot you are looking for, and even ensure that you get some mandatory defences along the way, but no where near the kind of clout the aforementioned have.
4. Don King's career as a promoter is OVER.
