    The thing with this is: do you really think he needs paydays? Dude comes from money. Forgetting that his old boy was a big dog back in the day. He's one of the extremely few silver spoon kids that is really about that business and he's doing it at a high level. He really ain't wrong, but it's understandable why these guys don't fight often. It's a brutal sport. Can't knock his passion and willingness to carve out his own path and not just live off of his dad's name like most others rich kids. Credit to em.

      We'll see what happens but I’m not holding my breathe.

      Even Keith himself used to talk and act exactly like Tszyu and then when Spence came up and started calling him out he did a 180.

      Look what Bud doing right now?

      All these guys are the same.

      One guy I can say never changed his tune is Errol Spence
      Because he never fought consistently?

        Not sure he's been enjoying much of anything the past year or so, but you do you...

          It's irrelevant. It's not his fault they gave it instead of enforcing the Charlo fight that he wanted and entirely pursued. But if theyre giving, he better accept it, as it should put him in position to command better fights.

          Personally, I'd feel cheated of the opportunity to prove myself against the man, if they gave me the thing for free that other people have to win.

          For the record, I am 100% in favor of making the top two contenders fight for a vacant belt, instead of mail order.

            Tszyu - Madrimov is the best fight at 154lbs.

              yea i just wish zoo would have let someone else mention that he is a bit of a throw back type of fighter it sounds more believable when another esp older fighter says that, n someone from another camp.

                I hear you, but other people have said it about him anyway. Plus, he's telling everbody what he's about, no different that Anderson (hw) sayin he's in it for money.

                But... now that Tzsyu talked about it, he has to continue to be about it.

                  I agree 100%. Tim is a real fighter, and he's getting better all the time. No real warrior wants to win a belt stripped from the lineal champion, but what could he do? Charlo was inactive forever, then chose to fight Canelo.
                  All Tszyu can do is stay active and keep improving. After Thurman, if Charlo wants it, then they can fight. If not, then Crawford or Madrimov would be great fights for him.

                    Errol Spence really ?
                    Please point out what exactly it is that Spence is doing right
                    Only took him five years to face or stop ducking the man he was supposedly much better than

                      I’ve been one who praised Tim for being one of the only to be using his words in the ring
                      But I seem to be a little turned off by this fight with Keef
                      I hope this is not a preview to his future
