    How many B sides failed to secure a fight with the A side?

    Meaning, the B side started off by saying he wants the title/s, wants to beat the reigning King, etc., to the point of begging.

        Good example.
        Except that there was never any offer made by Pac and Floyd.
        Did Khan have a title when he was begging for those fights?

          Don't believe either side, don't believe either fighters; team, fighter or promoter over the other. Pay no attention to media headlines or interviews. None of us really know the truth, stay woke.

            All the excuses for the fight not happening came from Hearn..Yet Wilder and his team are to blame? I really don't get it man, it is clear as day Hearn never wanted this fight next. He is even trying to make money off of Wilder now before the fight happens..Hearn is milking this **** for every dime

              How many terms do you need when you are the B side?
              He begged for the fight.
              Hearn said, "Fight Dyllan White first for $4 mil."
              He said NO.
              Then he was offered $12.5 mil, NOT TO MENTION A SHOT AT AJ's TITLES,
              which are priceless.
              He said NO.
              Then the offer was increased to $15 mil and was sent a contract.
              He and his team didn't even read it until many weeks later.
              Is that the guy who wanted the fight?
              Fight didn't happen, so he failed.

                    I think it happens all the time for any number of reasons. The media doesn't always cover each incident as much as they covered every detail of May-Pac, Canelo-GGG and Wilder-AJ.
