    I'd love to sit you in front of a multi-million dollar contract just to see you NOT sign it because you were uncomfortable with it's terms.

    I'm sure most boxers won't mind being weight drain if they can get set for life for fighting the biggest draw in the sport which means a minimum of 10 millon or so. Or guys jumping 1 or 2 weight classes when it's a danger to them. That's how it works.

    Sugar Shane jumping 2 divisions to fight Oscar back in 2000. Mayweather jumping to 154 to fight Oscar even though he was outweighted by like 14 or 15 pounds on fight night. And Manny the current face of boxing jump 2 weight classes to fight Oscar.

    Now it's Manny to set the unequal conditions on the fights. He learned it from Oscar an Oscar learned it from Ray Leonard.

    It's a fair comment but it's very rare a world class fighter will take a fight expecting to lose.

    True I see no point in a world class guy going into a fight with a losing mentality.
