The thing is, they had a signed contract, and if he would have taken another fight, they could have sued Sergio for breach of contract. Plus the fact he was working on trying to get out of his contract with TOC, who was probably one of the worst promotional companies to be stuck with. He then got out of that contract, got a real manager, and then they had to negotiate with different promotional companies for the best deal, and that takes time. It took 3 months to finally get a deal with Golden Boy.
He may have had some bad luck, but a fighter must find a way to get in the ring, I don't accept that he has done all he can to get back in the ring. He's been out as long as Floyd's retirement. 16 months now. So he was scheduled to fight on the Berto/Mosley undercard, why not reschedule with the same opponent? I'm sure ESPN2 would be happy to have him on.
