Comments Thread For: Dmitry Bivol Shakes Head at WBC Not Sanctioning Fights With Russian Boxers

[cantor5150]

I wonder what the WBC will say about all this once Mexico officially joins BRICS. Mexico will officially be in ties with Russia. Will they ban Mexican fighters will they change their stance.

Does he really want to unify? They've been belt holders at the same division for years. Don't give me this bullsh.it that the fight could never have gotten made. Crying about it now is some bullsh.it excuse for him to blame someone else about the fight not getting made. Any fight can get made, look at Ryan/Tank, that one got made, both have different promotors and different networks. Fu.ck Bivol crying ass.

Yes, it's Beterbiev who left the same promotional company as him at the perfect time to unify between two Russians.

He also allows his "new" promoter to constantly poo poo the fight and Bivol further implying he doesn't want the fight...

[Boro]

He left to go to where the WBC, WBO and IBF belts were. I'd say it worked out for him.

Prior to the Canelo fight, DAZN had Bivol fighting second on the card against guys nobody had ever heard of.

At the time when it was perfect to unify with Beterbiev he literally just fought Pascal, the fight before Chilemba and the fight which should of been Beterbiev he fought Joe Smith Jr hardly guys nobody has heard of unless you're a casual.

Its a slippery slope punishing athletes for what their government is doing. Plus Russia is one of the best producers of boxing talent so the sport loses from dumb shyt like this.

Yes, nobody ever heard of Barrera, Pascal, Chilemba, Joe Smith jr. Bivol fought.

While Beterbiev fought super stars like Gvozdyk, Deines, Joe Smith jr. ( the same one )

Yeah not really you guys fault your “leader” is a tyrant.

I still think WBC and Bob might be right not wanting to pump millions into that country.

I wanna see the fight but I understand this line of thinking. Go to hell *****!

[buddyr]

I hope I live long enough to see the sport of boxing in which the wba/ibf/wbc/wbo are no longer important or recognized.

This is total nonsense. The WBC are one of the most corrupt governing bodies out there yet all of a sudden they're trying to act like they have integrity and principals? GTFOH WBC! You are trash! How about making Fury fight or stripping him of his title? What a load of nonsense. I usually don't display anger and frustration when I post here but this is just pure BS.

How would a fight between Bivol and Beterbiev, not in Russia, promoted by people who aren't Russians, pump millions into Russia? As far as I know I don't think there's any stipulation in Beterbiev's Top Rank contract or Bivol's Matchroom contract that says they must give a percentage of their purse to the Russian war machine. I hate what ***** is doing as well but I don't think there's any truth in what you're saying unless you're privy to information I don't have access to.

Idk how tax system over there goes and who gets what I was just assuming that if 2 Russians make tons of money it probably doesn’t hurt their war effort but I don’t know how it all goes.
