Why is there not more pressure on Bivol and Beterbiev to fight?

Is either man actually calling the other out? I've not heard them go on and say I want him or he is ducking me. Like Spence/Crawford.

 

I think we all want to see the fight, but they have been fighting other top fighters in the division, so people are not demanding it as much. Bivol fought the former P4P king and then fought a top 5 light heavyweight in Zurdo in his last fight. Beterbiev also fought a top 10 guy in Yarde and a top 5 guy in Smith.

People are more likely to demand fights from top fighters of the division when they don't fight anyone of note. These 2 guys have been fighting the best opponents available that is not each other.

 

They're 2 of the best LHWs right now but unfortunately they're both not money making fighters that appeal to a wider audience due to the fact that they're not from the US, UK, or Mexico. There should definitely be more pressure to make this fight happen because Beterbiev doesn't have much more time to wait on a big opportunity of a meaningful like this.

 

If that were true he would have “eh$napped” up that 2nd Canelo “PeyDey” with no questions.

 

I don't think either are avoiding it, I suspect there's simply not enough money to go round.

 

The demand for them to fight each has been comparable to the demand to see them fight period. Neither fighter is as popular as Spence and Crawford. So why would the demand for unification be as great as it is for Spence and Crawford?
