    1. They will get paid
    2. They may feel they have a chance

      There's easier money to be made these days. Get in the ring with a world-class heavyweight and see if you want to do this for a living....

          You're not reading the posts carefully before you reply, BostonGuy. He meant it's not easy...

            I guess they think nows a better time to go places in the rankings and get better pay days.

              That's about the size of it, and it's nothing new.

                  Can Golota beat anyone in the Top 20 right now, McKay?

                    I dont know who's in the top 20 to be honest but I dont really think he can beat any elite level fighters. He's become too uncordinated and slow.

                      To answer the main topic. Cause these fighters see what a ****hole the heavyweight division has gotten into and they feel they can bring or add a little spark back into it.
