If Betebiev's people were CONFIDENT they would have offered a decent purse.

Duckage by lowball offer.

Maybe he's tired of fighting for virtually free all for the selfish fans entertainment who would say no if they were in his shoes too.
I just hope he has a backup plan in place whether that's a) his promoter feeding him to Kovalev b) his promoter working with Haymon to get him Stevenson or c) using the money he got from Ward to get an education and pursue another career oppotunity.
Because if he wants to be a fighter, this is the nature of the beast.

Remember when Lemieux and N'Dam fought for a total purse of ~$100k for an actual world title?
$62k for eight to ten weeks' work is not bad. Way above the national average
I'm a fan, but I have to be reasonable, i'm not the one lacing up the gloves so I won't sit here and tell another man who's already more of a man than me by choosing that profession, that he's a p*ssy.
Salido, Lemiuex, idk who else, they were not fighting someone as dangerous as Beterbiev.
