Should it be illegal to have "options" on a fighter?

If Federer wants to play at Wimbledon, then he has to play against who they tell him to play against in each round. He's not able to say to Wimbledon, I'll only agree to one match at a time and after the first round of the tournament, I get to choose my next opponent. Wimbledon gets to decide who he plays next.

And does he have power over other tennis players?

Options aren't to protect the fighter. Options are to protect the promoter. When Indongo had to give Hearn options, it wasn't to protect Ricky Burns. It was to protect Hearn.

That is not the question I asked you.

The question you asked didn't make any sense. The promoter of the tennis tournament is using their leverage to force the players to play who the tournament says if they want to be allowed to compete in the tournament. It's not Federer having control over the other players, it's the tennis promoter. No different than boxing.

Do the tennis authorities make special deals for some players that gives them advantages?

Do they act on the behalf of some players?

Yes. Every sport bends rules to benefit the stars and to encourage the creation of stars. Some sports do a better job than others of maintaining the illusion and protecting consumer confidence. Boxing has always been organized poorly and therefore has been one of the worst sports at protecting its image and credibility.

The game is to be sold, not to be told.

So you have no example or evidence of your claims.

There you go making things up again. After already trying to switch your premise three times.

No, I am not going to publicly out the rampant corruption in all sports, tennis included. Stick to being a fan. Or not even a fan, stick to being a hater, since for some reason you want to believe boxing is the only corrupt sport.
