This. That's the scenario that brings Andy the most money in the surest way.
I know Patrick Nielsen's been mentioned, but at present he's not even in the WBO's top 15. Hungarian Lajos Nagy is #5, and the Irish crowd could care less between the two, and Nagy is way safer and way cheaper. Andy's expected to make $300k for that fight, and then to fight Saunders in an open-air stadium in the summer for 2-3x as much. Haymon would have to put up as much as Peter Quillin turned down for Andy to give him a chance.
