I like the Donaire fight against Mares or Rigo and give him the better odds but he did come out looking like an excuse making bitc on this one.

Originally posted by richardt View PostThat is NOT how the business of Boxing works. If you need to know about how the business works, talk to a Promoter who promoted fights that everyone has seen. His name is Terry Trekas. Promoters pick the opponent, not the Fighter. If you were a Promoter and YOU were the one putting up the money, you would have it in the contract that YOU chose who the fighter fights. That is how it is. Thats why HUNDREDS of times when a fighter is asked who he would like to fight, he knows that weighs LITTLE on what happens and he responds by saying "I will fight whoever my Promoter wants". Fighters say that because it is TRUE. This is not in the least bit up for debate, it is a reality. It is in the contract and all you have to do is speak to a well known Promoter.

Originally posted by BoxingFollower View PostThen it that case there should be NO such thing as a boxer ducking someone, if it's simply a business decision that your boss made for you in other words "Promoter"

They have a say in their careers. That's why some boxers take on all comers and some don't. Obviously, management and promoters have their roles, and some are more dominant than others, but SOME BOXERS stand up for themselves, worrying more about their legacy and less about money. I suppose I'll continue to live in denial. GTFO.
