Warren said. “There are two ways of getting out of a fight you don’t want, one is to say no, the other is to price yourself out of it.”

What kind of gate numbers is he doing? Anybody can claim they're a huge draw by selling ultra cheap tickets in their hometown, like Jose Ramirez and Gabe Flores, but those fights don't make a lot money. Selling out Dignity Health Park (formerly StubHub Center) or a reduced capacity Staples Center against Santa Cruz or Valdez will probably generate more money than if it was in the Warrington's hometown. That beings said, I don't think PBC has any interest in allowing LSC to fight anyone outside of their stable. What's the excuse for avoiding Shakur though?
