He doesn’t need the money What he does need is to repair his damaged legacy after losing to Crawford and getting spanked by Bivol in a fight he was a massive favorite (even if he should not have been)
People never seemed to understand how the cash cow status really works. As long as he still has the fan support hes enjoyed, yes. Is anyone in boxing outdrawing him currently? Nope. We'll know the truth if Bud has a next fight. But fans/haters, even some boxers seem to think because fighter C beats fighter A, hes suddenly the face of boxing......its never worked this way. It isnt some transferable title unless the challenger was already reaching that point himself. I love Bud but we all know hes never been the biggest draw. Time will tell if this gives him tbe rub in being a cash cow.
