Thanks for the explanation, jamieson. I'm assuming that Usyk in particular would rather negotiate rather than go to a purse bid, as he has more flexibility in choosing the fight promoter. Of course, he could, and probably will, go a different route and give up his WBO belt (and eventually others) for a mega $$$ fight. He doesn't need JP for his legacy, and he won't have any belts anyway once he retires after his next fight.
