Cashing out ?

[brahmabull81]

Charles Martin getting a fluke win for a belt off an injury and then immediately signing to fight Joshua was a HUGE cashout. He had no chance, was willing to come to AJs home AND was in good spirits afterwards buying a bunch of nice stuff with the cashout payout he got. He destroyed his own career for some instant cash. No champ has ever gotten a belt and just gladly played the B-side like that imo.

I would have done the exact same if I was CM.

That's actually a really good example.

An example of "cashing out" is Sergio Martinez fighting Cotto while barely being able to walk normally.

This should be the definition of "Cashing out"

Maybe what makes a fight a cash out rather than taking on a big challenge is a fighters proximity to the 'End of the Line'.

Martinez in terms of his career and ability to perform. I'm sure many would argue that his foot had already slipped over it.

Martin because he'd (over)reached the highest point he'd ever get to. He was heading back down either way so he may as well fight for a hefty prize before the slides.

Maybe Khan's a little different. He can see his on the horizon and you could make a case that his 'End of the Line' has found a personal embodiment in Kell Brook. He's doing everything he can to avoid stepping on the path that leads there.

Mayweather Vs Pacquiao was a cash out for me. Both were coming to the end of the line. It was never going to be competitive by that point.
