Comments Thread For: Bivol: I Want to Get More Belts at 175 or 168, Whichever is Easier

[JakeTheBoxer]

To be honest, I prefer Bivol staying at 175 for Beterbiev fight.

Jermall Charlo wants that Bivol smoke.

"Last summer, upon Beterbiev’s knockout of Joe Smith Jr. to collect his third 175-pound belt, Arum told this outlet that he would not countenance a scenario in which he would let Beterbiev fight on a Matchroom-promoted card because, in that scenario, the event would then have to be streamed by Hearn's partner, DAZN, the over-the-top subscription streaming service that Arum has long ridiculed for middling viewership. Arum's Top Rank has a partnership with ESPN and "loaning" Beterbeiv out to a competitor would not be in their corporate interests."

That's what makes it so surprising that PBC and DAZN came to an agreement for Tank vs. Garcia! Also shocking that Fulton vs. Inoue is in the works too! Maybe times are changing, however it doesn't look like anyone wants to play with MatchRoom!

That's why you can't ever say that any particular fight won't take place because their promoted by competing promotional organization's.

Canelo wont ever beat bivol

No he won't, he's still probably having nightmare's about that fight, in which he's blocking, ducking, and dodging in his sleep.

Go with the money for nelo or if the 175 undisputed could happen please do that. I just want to see any good fights

[Zaroku]

He doesn't get props for already making Canelo look silly at 175?

As Isaiah you point out truths

Canelo, dazn, matchroom, hearn ... all have compelling reasons to "offer" Bivol to take a dive at 168 ... and start a two or three fight series. It would help all their causes ... but would be abysmal for boxing. Hopefully we won't get another debacle like the Kovalev fight (not enugh camp, tired, poor overall health ... yet showing up fior a career payday ... and getting blasted out). Nothing professional in that besides the paycheck.

Bivol seems to have a lot of integrity. I hope he doesn't sellout to this crew .... who have money to throw around. Keep it real Bivol, find some authentic challenges out there. When does his affliation contract with matchroom run out? Bivol needs to fight Beterbiev before he gets much older (he's already as old as Kovalev practically).

I thought I’d read nothing but people sniveling that Canelo is MAKING Bivol weaken himself by coming down to 168. Turns out Bivol WANTS his belts at 168. Me personally I think Bivol has been going down for months anticipating this. I think Bivol will whip him again.

[MrShakeAndBake]

Bivol will beat Clenelo at 168 , he has his number..then put ginger on suicide watch...

Yeah, the Fulton vs Inoue fight was a big surprise. I wasn't really a fulton fan before but I definitely gained a lot of respect for him taking this fight instead of vacating to make in house fights. The tank vs Garcia fight wasn't a surprise tho. They're 2 of the biggest names in the sport so there's enough money to go around and Oscar is usually willing to work with other promotors. I've had 2 people at work that aren't boxing fans, but know I am, ask me if I wanna split it with them. The winner of that fight is gonna b the face of boxing for casuals, especially with the younger generation. Fury more with the older casuals.

If that were true, we would've seen Garcia vs. Haney, when they were both at DAZN!
