If Adames had the option to take the fight and didn't he deserves ridicule. Why PBC isn't making Lara-Adames is what I really want to know.Comment

True that brother. Business always tru/mps unification, mandatories, ordered fights, clamored by fans, you name it. It's not a sport, it's a business. Same excuse why Shakur vs Davis can't be made.

I wonder what went into Alimkhanuly’s decision — sometimes the “good money” isn’t worth the risk for a fight that doesn’t move you forward.Well of course he did. Mikhailovich is his IBF mandatory. He'd have lost one of his belts if he took the Sheeraz fight. Janibek doesn't have that Spence pull that kept him from having to defend his IBF belt more than one time in 4 years. Let's see if Queensberry makes the offer when Janibek doesn't have an IBF mandatory ordered, and how he responds then.
Could be he’s holding out for bigger opportunities, better matchups, or fights that align more with his long-term goals.

PBC likes to hold belts for negotiations and do a lot of in house fighting. No money them two fighting that are basically stable mates.
There has to be some clarification at MW and that would be a good start if both faced each other.
The business of boxing gets in the way of fights like these.Comment
