I never understand the, put two fighters on a card together before they fight strategy.

Just feels like so much can go wrong. Not only do they both have to win, they essentially both need to look good too. Like let’s say Ryan blasted out Rolly like he was expected too, would there really be more interest in Ryan-Haney II after how boring the Haney fight was? I think there would have been far more interest in an immediate rematch straight up. Same with Plant and Charlo last night, let’s say Plant get’s a gift decision last night, are we really any more interested in seeing Plant-Charlo than we already were? I don’t think so, if anything I’d be less interested after a bad performance. We also seen it go horribly wrong with Joshua and Wilder 18 months ago, for a fight that was already way past it’s best, if one fight didn’t need marinating any further it was this one. To cut a long story short, stop all this slow build BS and just make the fight!! Hearns and Leonard fought at 22 and 25 respectively and both became bigger stars in the process. This whole “marination” strategy is nowhere near as rewarding as promoters think.
