How can you say it isn't a duck? Hi Josh would you like a lift to West Brom away tonight, I'll pick you up from your house and drop you off at the stadium? No thanks mate, I'll walk to the train station, get a train to the Midlands and then get a taxi to the stadium. Ducking *****.
If Josh is charging him a ****ing fortune for the lift and will **** him in the backseat, then I don't blame him for taking the train and taxi.
In some ways it makes sense, but I cant help but think of the stick other promoters would get for doing this.
Probably can be classed as a duck, but Saldivia is a much more winnable option and would guarantee him a title shot in his next fight. If he takes on Bradley now then he has no bargaining power, will drop in the rankings if he loses and then has to start again. Getting the IBF title will thus increase his purse for the fight down the line, and will obviously be a world champ.
