    Any potential for Anderson vs Sanchez happening?

      Is Frank Sanchez relegated to just fighting bums? He and his team are not even interested in improving their abysmal viewership ratings do they? At least Anderson fought Charles Martin, who is still a fairly risky fight. Frank can't even take that fight, even though it's an easy fight to make.

        They still can make heavyweight fights in the past with average ratings. But it's gotten worse now because it's no longer cheap to make these fights.

          Especially now that Showtime has died also.

              There are quite a few prospects under the radar, so maybe someone steps up.

                  Martin has been available for Frank for years around the PBC premises, but Sanchez won't get near him. He still sees him as a live dog. Frank would rather fight the guy Charles already KO'd 4 years ago. Another embarrassment to the division.

                    No one wants Martin at PBC even at this stage of his career. He'll likely get another fight with TR. He'll be servicing Arum for the remainder of his career.

                      Any upcoming heavyweight fight you see happening in the US that could at least have a semblance of it's still breathing?
