    Ducking?

    It seems to me, you can't enter a thread about any fighter without coming accross someone saying fighter A is ducking fighter B. Unless you are a complete idiot we know there are many more factors involved as to why two fighters don't meet at all, or years too late. But what constitues ducking right? Give me examples where you think someone ducked someone and why, or maybe accused of ducking them but unjustly accused. Thought this could be a good idea, and stick all the he's ducking him into one pot and taking other threads off topic.

    If it's the biggest financial fight to be made and the fighter chooses to fight someone else for less, then it's a certified duck.

          What even if you can build the fight up for 18 months and double the money.

            Who does want to fight Loma. I very much doubt Tank is ducking him though, Mayweather is all about the money and won't risk a L this early on.

              Yes because if you took the fight now and won you would massively increase your drawing power and income. If you leave it to "marinate" it's because you don't want to risk the possibility of losing.

                What if you can't take the fight now? It's not always that simple. Promoters, terms of the contract, TV network companies.

                  Well yeah, it's the promoters that duck not really the fighters. I'm sure most fighters would happily fight anyone put in front of them.
