Good. I hope he does turn it down and demand a proven world class opponent like he is. Sure, he will make money but Burns has taken his losses, paid his dues, taken the risks, overcome the risks and at 28 Burns shouldn't want to squander his prime.
Hopefully its what Ricky thinks in his head. Here is the chance for Ricky to show if he is another world champion who lets his promoter calls the money making shot or he won't stand for fighting sub par opposition. Fight Mitchell and earn a bit or look towards a big Vegas/unification fight, which is what he should be doing.
