If you were the A side/PPV star...

What arena would you fight in? Would you travel to face other champs and/or contenders? What stipulations would you attempt to impose? Would you accept less or take a pay cut to face an opponent? Would you factor in risk/reward or fight everyone in a row? Also, assuming you're in fight shape right now, what weight class would you fight in? Put yourself in their shoes.

It helps if you're honest with yourself. I feel that fans are fickle and don't care for the boxers much personally. But since they essentially pay you, they're entitled to good fights. And this is assuming you've already fought your way to the top, you're a PPV star.

I'd fight in cowboys stadium majority of the time since I live close. That or somewhere in Houston. I'd consider moving if I could get good offers elsewhere.

I'd be hesitant to travel out of the country to face others out of fear of getting robbed. Not accusing other countries, I wouldn't blame them for not wanting to face me for the same reasons. The offer would have to be so good I can't refuse.

I wouldn't impose any stipulations unless I'm fighting outside my natural weight class, so yes, I'd consider catch weights and it'd have to be mutual. I would not impose glove type or size, rehydration clauses, anything stupid related to clothing. I'd always want to be introduced second though.

I honestly don't think I'd take a pay cut, either I'm paid more or equal to my last fight, this does not include PPV, I'm talking purse. I'd only take a pay cut if I'm fighting a tune up.

I would factor in risk vs reward. That doesn't mean I'd cherry pick or duck, it means I'd fight guys at the right time (no, not waiting until they're old). I'd probably fight twice a year, I wouldn't pull a Canelo and fight 3 guys in a row I'm stylistically challenged against. If I lose a lot or my stock drops, so does my pay check.

If I'm in fighting shape, I think 147 would be my minimum, and given my height, 160 would be my absolute limit.

What would you do? Say **** it and fight anybody anywhere? Or make calculated decisions for your career? Remember, even guys like Golovkin and Pacquiao make calculated decisions.

 

I'd do it for big fights that pay well, enhance my legacy, and I have a decent chance of winning.

Take da test, doe!

Let's say there's 3 "killers" in your division, would you fight them all in a row?

 

Boxing does need a commission but all of this has been around for ages.

 

Exactly, people act like Floyd invented it.

 

Brutally honest, I like it.
