If the price is right? What does that mean? Sure his promoter will win the purse bid and determine how much he gets paid?
It means. "if I want to lose, I want to get paid big.... or else I will keep fighting lesser opponents, keep my title and keep my star status." I love how "if the price is right" line has creeps into all those conversations where someone who is just acting the part is confronted with the possibility of fighting generally considered better by the consensus. Apparently, the risk part wasn't explained to them about the sport and now they want to be paid extra to take a beating. whatever happened to the days were fighters were fighters and entertainers went to the wwf/wwe?
They want your @$$ beat because upsets make news. News brings about excitement, excitement brings about ratings. The objective is to bring you up to the tower and tear your @$$ down. And if you don't believe that, you're crazy.

Who is Danny Jacob? Is he any good? Worthy of a fight for a title?
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
