The exhibitions are selling and even the die hard boxing fans are buying. Aside from the obvious Spence-Crawford & Fury-Joshua there are several other star making fights that aren't happening.

At 135 we have Tank in legal troubles, Loma is barely on the conversation and would probably take on a Lopez rematch like it was the 13th round and get the W, Stevenson hasn't made any waves there yet, Haney is fighting Linares, Garcia is fighting Fortuna & Lopez will be on Triller against his mandatory. Those are decent developmental fights, but nothing the general public (die hards will watch all of them) is interested in.

Crawford against any PBC Welterweight would sell, but Haymon shut him out a long time ago. PBC fighters aren't very active on top of that.

While Canelo cleans out 168 the lack of star power doesn't allow for a mega event like a GGG rubber match would.

The promoters and fighters won't make the fights people want to see & the old retired fighters are stepping in like someone left the bank vault open.
