Why Is Pulev So Avoided If He's Average?

    Why do people keep saying "high risk low reward" when a fight with Pulev within the last year guaranteed a mando position? Even Leapia with a nobody promoter in his words says he's going to make over £1m from his mando shot.

    You answered the question yourself. No point going through a tough challenge in order to legitimately earn a mando spot when beating a few bums impressively gets you equally far.

    You'll not be getting 25% of no purse without winning the mando position though. That's one thing I'll congratulate leapia over. At least he had the balls to travel literally to the other side of the World for peanuts and beat the top 10 and number 1 ranked contender Boytsov in his own backyard to earn his payday. Leapia despite being average is what 'prize fighting' is all about. Let all the rest of them cry about not getting their shots and being "ducked" while doing nothing to force the fight.

    Who's avoiding him? He fights often though.

    Is pulev willing to go to UK to fight fury? Answer that before you say fury is ducking him.

    That will probably cost a lot now. How much do you think the mando position is worth? When Fury had a chance to fight him for peanuts he chose another direction. If he is so bad he pretends to be why not offer a decent amount to Pulev to come to UK .... He should probably fill in his bancruptsy papers in advance though.
