Chilemba and Barrera ducked Beterbiev

Chilemba and Barrera are obviously are bigger names than Brand so they get more money, they've also got more years left in boxing so there are other fights out there that pay better. And the kind of beating you take from Dre and Beterbiev aren't the same. So obviously fighting one of the biggest punchers in the sport for less than 200k isn't reasonable, when he can make more, fighting a more beatable opponent Because Barrera or Chilemba sell enough to be paid 200-300k.Chilemba was he first one saying Beterbiev was scared to fight him on twitter. hey offered him over 100k since he had "alot" more than his fight vs alvarez which is 75k.

Do you know how much made brand for fighting Ward? 30k. Ward easily sell 3-4 times more than Beterbiev so how asking 200-300k is resonable?

How much would Beterbiev be making? What's Brand got to do with this? Idk they never said it bu from what I've seen, peannuts. So they wanted Chilemba at short notice, barely two months off the back of going twelve rounds with Kovalev? Yeah, can't imagine why they weren't jumping at the generous offer. Michel is a schyster. Well he did 12 rounds with kov he would do good vs beterbiev. Also he is coming off from 2 losses i doubt he will go for a title again, just like pascal.

Not a duck, if they were asking for 200k or 300k that means they were offered absolutely peanuts. Why would you fight an absolute monster like Beterbiev for under 200k? The word ducking is thrown around like crazy. Do you know how much made brand for fighting Ward? 30k. Ward easily sell 3-4 times more than Beterbiev so how asking 200-300k is resonable?

I don't blame Chilemba or Barrera tbh.. Beterbiev isn't a titlist and they get nothing out of the fight.. They are no journeymen or not yet to feed to Beterbiev.. they might fight for a good fat check..

Ofcourse they dont wanna fight Beterbiev, as u said high risk low reward and he doesnt have a belt yet, no prospect that has worked their way to a title would want to to ruin that by fighting the the savage that is Beterbiev, especially seeing youd probably get knocked out 99% of the time, hardest puncher p4p

Beterbeast is being wasted away this year. I know he has had an inury to deal with but now he is over it and waiting to get in the ring. I actually forgot about him for a moment with the Kova-Ward fight being negotiated and announced. His team should have put him in pole position to fight the winner or at the least up against Stevenson. No more gimme opponents.

Last year, Beterbiev (then ranked #1 by IBF) dropped an offer to fight Kovalev in Russia. Now Duva refused to feed Chilemba to him... Is this a surprise?

I'm on the Beterbeast squad. I don't blame them.:lol1:

Michel said they sent offer to Barrera and Chilemba both declined by asking 200 000 & 300 000 $. This is the new game everyone plays, "he priced himself out". $200k doesn't sound unreasonable for someone who just had good exposure on HBO and would likely be taking a big step down in pay. We're not talking a million bucks here, or even half that.

According to Ivon Michel Beterbiev was supposed to fight in september but because finding a good oppenent is hard they will have to delay it in october and most likely take place in united-states Michel said they sent offer to Barrera and Chilemba both declined by asking 200 000 & 300 000 $. So who's do you think will accept to fight beterbiev? Artur has no belt and is KOing everything he touches - I'm not saying that I like it, but it's a high risk, low reward proposition. Barrera got more than twice that to face Ward and whilst I don't know what Chilemba got against Kovalev at least there were 3 belts on the line. Either fight has far more upside for Beterbiev than for the opponent.
