Why haven't they done more with Derevyanchenko?

He's been kept the exact amount of busy necessary to get him a title shot. Welcome to boxing.

Can't people just fight for ****s and giggles though?

Guys like GGG are ducking him.

He could fight him next but you would just say he ducked canelo, he could fight both but the end of the year but then you will say he ducked Jacobs and charlo. He can’t fight everyone at once relax.

People do that at bars all the time.

But world class athletes that have devoted their entire lives to torturous training to perfect a difficult craft want to maximize their earnings so they can feed their families for years to come.

I'm just talking about activity and exposure.

He turned more less than 4 years ago and is a mandatory for a title shot. Sure, some people move faster like Loma, but Derevyanchenko's pace is pretty standard in modern boxing. It also hurts him that his promoter, DiBella (PBC/Haymon), has a very bad rap at securing decent fights and keeping his fighters inactive.

It also likely hurts him that the risk/reward ratio is very poor. He's a terrific fighter, but him taking your scalp pays peanuts. And I don't mean $1M peanuts, more like $100-200k max.

He's a top middleweight. I've seen three of his fights on FS1. Why don't they have him out there more often?

Derevyanchenko?
