I blame the people who constantly justify Bud fighting lesser competition bc they hate Spence/PBC. Bud is not Canelo and better fights should be demanded from Bud. Bud should be receiving as more criticism than Canelo does for not fighting Benavidez. NOBODY asked for Bud-Madrimov. What you all need to accept that the days of a belt mattering are over. Nobody cares about Madrimov being a champion and Bud winning a title after a higher weight class if it’s not against a worthy opponent. Bud thinks that promoters have an agenda against him when that’s just insecurity. The truth is he has outrageous purse demands that his stock doesn’t justify and nobody wants to lose money. Turki came along and financed a very unnecessary fight just like Top Rank used to do until Top Rank had enough. Add the ever growing piracy issue and it’s just a losing situation for any promoter to finance a Bud fight.
The only fights that can truly generate a successful event for Bud is a Spence rematch at 154/160, Benavidez at 168, a Mayweather comeback, Tank at a catchweight, Tszyu in Australia, Charlo in Texas Boots or Ryan Garcia. Everything else will be a flop, because Bud just isn’t a star. Unfortunately for him he doesn’t live in the era that had so many fighters who were draws.
