This whole thing was Mikey's idea. Shafer was against it initially so Haymon was probably against it too. Mikey probably had to ask them more than once to make the fight.
I don't see how this fight benefits Spence other than monetarily. Beating Mikey won't gain him much credit from boxing fans. And Mikey isn't risking much either. If he loses he can use the excuse he was outsized and he can go right back to being a champion at 140. I'd much rather see these guys unifying with guys in their own weight class.
