This data is a bit out of date, because UFC are starting a new TV deal with Netflix/ESPN that is going to double their money. And Top Rank have lost their deal.

But, nevertheless, it paints a picture.

TKO + Turki money are coming to crush.

It’s just sticking with Turki. PBC can’t promise Turki money fight on fight.

He’s ducking

Fake ass LHW champ

^ lol It is amazing people follow boxing for a long time and don’t get it is all about the $.

If Bivol takes the PBC path he may get blacklisted by Turki, and his path then is;

Benavidez>Callum Smith> Yarde?

If he takes the Turki path, it is:

Beterbiev III>Canelo II>Being on Turki’s big $ cards going forward.

Which of those paths gets more $?

That is the path he is taking.

You’re the same guy that’s been calling Canelo a duck for over a year lol. So when Bivol does it, in his prime, as the LHW champ he’s doing it for the money lol.

Canelo is out of his prime, naturally smaller but he’s a duck lol.

There is a difference.

Canelo gets paid either way. If he takes hard fights he gets paid. If he takes easy fights he gets paid. He has chosen to take easy fights, so gets criticism.

Bivol doesn’t get paid either way. One path clearly has more money. Plus Beterbiev/Canelo is not an easy route anyway.

Bivol vs Benavidez would have been great. Not denying that. I am just saying Bivol is not ducking him because of fear. He is just going where the $ is.

Canelo is the $. He can fight who wants. He wants to fight Scull/Berlanga/Ryder

lol how did Canelo/Floyd/Manny etc get to the point where they started to get paid multi millions fighting anyone?

Check mate

lol

Canelo fought everyone. All kinds of tough challenges. Until a few years ago when he stopped.

Criticism is just about the present, not his overall resume. When he was taking hard fights, he never got criticized. When he stopped, he did.

Floyd/Canelo/De La Hoya/Manny all got to the point in their late careers where they could pick and choose who they wanted to fight for a big pay day. That came from years of fighting the best lol.

Bivol hasn’t done shit compared to these guys and he’s already ducking big fights.

Usyk didn’t start making big money until after he was 33.
