Should fighters take the blame for decisions their promoters make?

[KillaMane26]

If we be honest... Most of these fighters 99% will fight anyone. These guys are too prideful to back down from a fight no matter how dangerous.

Look at all the examples of fighters ready to fight but there promoter comes along and stall the fight or never make it at all.

Perfect example: I know for a fact Canelo would have fought GGG as soon as he got the 160lb strap. I know for a fact he was angry at the public reaction he was getting at the time while Oscar prolonged the fight.

Of course fighters have a say so to a certain extent but we know a promoter especially these big time guys like Arum, Oscar, Haymon will find a way to get their fighter on board.

So should these guys take the blame for obvious moves made by their promoter?

[Slapsie Maxsie]

Yes, they chose the promoter.

[Marchegiano]

Slapsie ain't wrong

You have to use common sense sometimes.

Obviously, established names should have control of who they fight next, thus can be blame for taking meaningless fights. Otherwise, who would give a hoot who they fight?

In the end , the fighter has a voice
Sometimes it’s much easier to decide not to have your voice heard

Good point tbf man. I always say fighters just fight, they don’t really care who they fight, they just wanna get paid.

Good point also...

Certain fighters will demand they fight this/that guy.

I don’t particularly like the ducking conversation
But in the end the fighter always has last say
