There's another side to this. As fans we want a guy to take on all comers and we want the best fights to happen. But the hardcore boxing fans tend to forget 1 thing. This is still a brutal sport. ANd in a sport where a guy in his 20s can lose many years of his prime in just 1 bout or be seriously injured or killed, I can see why the fighters want to get as much as they can and why fighters take money fights instead of the hard ones until they definitely have to.

Because at the end of the day, you and I ain't in that ring making a living taking blows to the head and body. So I can't really fault a fighter trying to get as much money as possible or negotiationg for some type of advantage.
