If I were made to cut that much weight by a guy who later popped, I'd be mad, too.

yep, its probably the main reason he lost the first fight

and why is that? .................... if the money was there there'd be big fights every weekend in a country as populous as the USA .

No offense but you aren’t making any sense, lmao. Fights are made when they’re made. Doesn’t matter the size of the country.

No offence taken. I think you're not seeing the big picture. Fights are not made in a timely manner in boxing in general but especially the USA. Boxers only earn money when they are fighting. Promoters only make money when there are events. Between unrealistic earnings expectations of fighters and lack of money to meet those demands then the fights don't get made in a timely manner or if at all. Wilder-Ruiz. Thurman sitting on shelf. Gary Russell when he was champ.

British boxers and British boxing is Overrated IMO

Whether that true or not, the UK punches well above its weight when it comes to keeping the sport relevant, especially these days. Its a major boxing market.
