WHy are these boxers fighting so infrequently?

[Chuck Bass**]

Mayweather fought twice in 3 years (if you count next May)

Bradly fought once this year and doesnt even have a fight

Ward fought once this year.


Should at least fight twice a year to maintain top 10 status

 

[Seano]

Oversized paychecks. Theres no reason for them to fight more often.

 

[Cazadores]

I think Ward has had a couple small injuries. May makes too much money. Bradley pulled out of a fight to jump on with top Rank, fought pac, then had to recover from injury.

Was looking forward to Ward/Pavlik

What this guy said. Guys fought more back in the day because more fights paid peanuts than they do now.

 

[Social Distance Warrior]

If you are bringing in 20 plus million per fight there's no need to fight 3 times a year

Andre Dirrell is fighting January 19th

I don't think Ward is making that much

 

[SuwoopBangin]

I don't think Ward is making that much

But he probably doesn't spend that much either

 

[Cazadores]

I don't think Ward is making that much

He's made over a mil in his last two fights for sure. Not sure about before that.

1.3m against Dawson.

900k vs Froch plus 1m super six bonus.

I was thinking $1m is "not much"

Can't remember where but Buster Douglas got something like that for the Tyson or Holyfield fight and didn't have much left afterwards
