I don't know about that one. There's too much unknowns on both sides. Lots of miscommunication. The way I see it, Alexander probably had a choice of Khan and Thurman. And picked Khan. I remember Thurman talking about the situation with Alexander, because he was being accused of ducking Alexander actually.
Are Al Haymon advised fighters......

al haymon fighters are the number one punk cowards in boxing.
floyd ducking manny, adonis ducking kovalev, quillin ducking ggg, mares ducking jhonny rematch, santa cruz ducking rigo, danny garcia ducking herrera rematch, etc. etc.Comment

How do you know it's a different situation with Saul? Unless you've seen his contract too?
If you think he can make any of his fighters fight each other, whenever he wants, then hey, that's your opinion. But I don't believe that. Fighters turn down other fighters all the time. Any Promoter doesn't have to stage a fight that a fighter wants either by the way. It's the Promoter putting up the money and risking the money.
I don't think he's holding Thurman's career hostage. I think Thurman just had some bad luck getting fights with these guys. Haymon clearly tried to get him nice names in the past, but it didn't work out.
I don't know what's in Canelo's contract, but I do know what's in Haymon's...and those contracts have rightfully been referred to as slave contracts when leaked.Comment

But 78 also said at the beginning of the interview, that fighters themselves have been turning down Thurman, not wanting to fight him. For the more established guys, Thurman is high risk. They don't want to be used as a pedestal for Thurman.Comment
