It hurts his legacy completely, & makes him look scared, but most fighters would do the same if they were in his position. It's definitely lame & I disagree completely with it, but I can't exactly blame him for going for easy fights. He makes insane amounts of money regardless of who he fights. If he decided to fight someone like Andre Berto next if he beats Canelo he would still make 25-30 million total for the fight.
His whole gimmick is based on being undefeated, so he knows a lot of people order his PPVs to see if he loses. If he loses once, I guarantee that the money he rakes in per fight will drop & his PPV numbers would drop.
He picks fights where he knows he's the huge favorite because it's easy money for him. He demanded the Canelo fight be at a catchweight so he knows it would be easier for him to win. But can you blame him when he's making all that money based on being the #1 P4P fighter, & raking in all that cash regardless of who he fights?
