You have to understand this sport of boxing is a business. You don't put two fighters who people don't know in a ring for a fight when you can build their careers, resumes, and image. You can make a lot more money later down the road if both guys keep winning.
Would you rather fight for peanuts on HBO or fight for millions on PPV? Ask a person who doesn't watch boxing who Devon and Tim are and I guarantee you the majority of the people don't know who they are. How many times have you seen them in the media, sportcenter, etc?
Why do you think GBP is not putting Khan against Floyd right now? Because they know if he keeps winning they can make a lot more money in the future.
This is not a duck because the promoters and fighters have to do what's best for them and their business. This would be a duck if both guys are household names and people know who they are.
