If a boxer gets good ratings they will give him a 3 fight deal. The 1st 2 fights will be easy wins and then the 3rd fight will be the big one. If a guy. Gets a 5 or 6 fight deal you know most of those fights will be showcase type fights.
Boxing, like every sport, has to adapt to what young fans want.
