Originally posted by Since 1985 View PostPeople seem to love to say fighters are ducking each other. "Garcia is ducking Matthysse." "Donaire is ducking Rigo." "Floyd is ducking (insert fighter)." Some fights take time to materialise. Sure some fights never happen but that doesn't mean that fights don't come off because a fighter is "ducking". Boxing is a business first and fighters as well as promoters are looking to maximize profits. At times it can really suck for the fans, but that's just the nature of boxing. I doubt there are many fighters who are scared of each other.

Originally posted by Since 1985 View PostWhere did I say that I support that? Boxing fans are probably the dumbest of any sport. People will **** on fights and still buy them on PPV. I don't do that. If you're going to buy ****ty fights why should fighters and promoters give us the fights we want to see? However, I'm not naive enough to believe that a fighter is ducking just because a fight doesn't happen right away.
Boxing is a business first? Quillin-Golovin will do MUCH bigger business then quillin- Guerrero and them quillin-Rubio, so why isn't it happening again?
