It took ODLH several championship wins against several tough opponents before he became a high PPV seller with high purses who can dictate his own terms to others . . .
Same goes for Floyd Jr - wins over Genaro Hernandez, Diego Corrales, JLC, Corley, Gatti, and finally ODLH before becoming that 8 figure purse fighter
Same goes for Pacquiao - titles in flyweight, jr feather, feather weight before becoming a star at jr WW and WW.
And now Canelo - he did the same and is still now doing it now and is currently the boxing's main attraction.
My point is a lot of currently self-proclaimed "boxing star" or "A-side) has not done enough compared to these fighters I mentioned but feels they are comparable to them - demanding purses wayyy above their market value.
Though I always root for a Canelo loss, I admire his plan to fight more in ayear (1 or 2 championhips, with 1 or 2 stay busy). As fans, we want fights inside the ring, not on Twitter.
