Beterbiev turns down Kovalev offer (per Rafael)

what else can I say, it's a DUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :lol1: :lol1: :lol1: I beta kovalev twice in the amatuer doe lol

If it's true then his team are quite smart, taking another fight is great for him and he gets to be a mandatory challenger which means more money too.

If you read my post correctly, you'll get it... ;)

Someone said: "Why would GYM/Haymon be a cash cow..." ... Now Haymon became a "cash cow" already!?!... :) ... I wonder from which planet are these guys coming from... :)

$500k and 25% of the Canadian PPV money is a fair offer? After HBO was only willing to commit $1m for Kovalev-Mohammedi? gtfoh. If Duva wants to keep being funny with the money, Team Beterbiev will take the fight to bid, take his 25% off of the full bid, and then work to actually maximize the take from his own home market. Exactly... Michel called that a fair offer when Duva sent it... Doesn't mean it was good enough though... Why would GYM/Haymon be a cash cow for Main Events anyway ? One year from now, Beterbiev will be the mando for all Kovalev's belts and the 7 digits will shine for both... Good move from GYM ...

Few days ago, Michel and Beterbiev were like "we'll go after the ducking Russian"... Now they're hiding behind Haymon's "purse bid"... $500k and 25% of the Canadian PPV money is a fair offer?

If Duva wants to keep being funny with the money, Team Beterbiev will take the fight to bid, take his 25% off of the full bid, and then work to actually maximize the take from his own home market.

Wouldn't GYM\Haymon\Beterbiev be in a better situation if they were negotiating the fight as mando ? Just wondering... Still leaves about a full year before it happens though, if ever ... As mandatory challenger (with the PBC backing), Team Beterbiev would have Kovalev over a barrell; knowing that they'd likely get 25% of whatever the bid is (plus a significant share of revenue arising from staging the fight), Team Kovalev has to basically make "an offer that they can't refuse" or risk being forced to drop the IBF belt. With blood in the water, it wouldn't be all that much longer before the same process comes about for the WBA belt with Fonfara (If Beterbiev and Fonfara both end up with belts, the WBO rankings would then be completely devoid of any fighter affiliated with Haymon, keeping that final belt safe from any play)

At this point in his career Beterbiev shouldn't even have been considered. Get him in the ring before he gets more experience and becomes too dangerous. Now they can develop him the way a fighter should be developed.

Hymen blocking the fight as usual.

What's with these guys calling out Kovalev, and then running away? Stevenson, Beterbiev. Who's next? No they didn't run away... Wait: in a few days they will start saying that it was in fact Kovalev who ducks the pimp and now Beterbiev as well.

I apologize for The Big Dunn. Poor guy is too simple-minded to understand what a mandatory is. Nah... He's OK... But he isn't anymore about good ol' discussions on fighters and fights... He's only "Haymon-oriented" lately... Something like pay-per-post, I suppose... That is why I fail to come more often on BS -- too many exclusively "Haymon-oriented" posters around... As if it isn't about boxing anymore...

Of course he did

moving to pbc hasn't actually benefited anyone's career so far. stevenson's stock has plummeted, for example. kovalev would probably get lower ratings over there than on hbo Thurman seems to have benefitted the most.

I call duck. BUUUUMMMMM SQUUUUAAADDD

PBC would be the best choice. I think there is probably more money in Kovalev vs Stevenson in Canada, vs Beterbiev in Russia or Canada & vs Chavez Jr after Jr rebuilds himself a little more than in a Pascal rematch & Ward. Duva just needs to get over her fear of Haymon. She could end up being the Paulie M of promoters & get all her blooming guys on national TV & Kov some big paydays if she came over to the dark side #thatsracist. moving to pbc hasn't actually benefited anyone's career so far. stevenson's stock has plummeted, for example. kovalev would probably get lower ratings over there than on hbo

damn i wanted this fight bad!

You also said that Kovalev pulling out of the purse bid was cowardly. But whatever, the difference between that and what Stevenson did in 2014 is that Kovalev/Duva didn't just walk away from the fight. They offered to negotiate with Adonis/Gym/Haymon so that it could go ahead on HBO, and who knows what concessions Stevenson might have got from Kovalev if he'd given it a try? HBO refuses to compete with the market value for the fight, so what was the point of keeping things to HBO? keep ignoring the fact that HBO isn't the only shop interesting in airing fights and HBO has shown no allegiance to Stevenson.

sooooo you guys gonna let him sly now huh cause he's not ready but anyone else he blatantly ducked kova **** that beterbiev a bum coward i'll start the trend WAR KOVA!!!! :boxing: :boxing:
