I think much of this depends on the circumstance. There are a lot of fights that could be potential blockbuster sellouts and while others just chose to remain on the side lines to evaluate the boxing landscape ala Shane Mosley, (not that I agree with Shane putting himself on the shelf to collect dust).

the dont want to take a pay cut in the recession. they think cos they were making, eg 1.5M a fight a year ago they should earn at least that for their next fight.

Greed, fighters are businessmen nowadays they dont actually love to fight.

Fighters who usually stay activate and fight atleast 3 times a year, usually become a fan of mine for that simple reason. Im a huge fan of Shane Mosley but he needs to be active.

I think generally today fighters are much more inactive. DLH was a classic example of an inactive fighter. He went from 4 fights a year to 1 or 2 year and a year off here and there. After he beat Mayorga he didn't fight for exactly another year.

Inactivity can sometimes be a downfall of a fighter. I'm not saying they should be in wars 4 times a year, but some of them should stay more active.
