Why fight a young hungry lion when you are not at your best both physically and mentally? Just to satisfy the bloodlust of fans that will dump you as soon as you lose?
By going on "vacation" and stalling the Spence fight, Thurman achieves several things.
1. Everyone starts calling him out more (all attention is good attention) and begging for his return.
2. He gets to watch Spence and Crawford expose and damage each other while he rests his body and mind.
3. He can choose to come back when the other guy's momentum has run its course and he himself is well rested.
4. By stalling, he is making the fight bigger financially.
5. When he finally fights and beats Spence, it will be more dramatic because everyone thought he was ducking.
Make no mistake, the Spence Thurman fight WILL happen. But, Thurman wants to do it at a time that is most beneficial to HIM.
This **** is exactly what Mayweather did to Pacquiao.
