Comments Thread For: The Beltline: Is Artur Beterbiev arrogant for not joining in on the fun?

[Buggy bear]

What’s the problem ? The man’s a professional fighter of the highest calibre, he will entertain and perform , that’s what he gets paid for . The promoters promote

[JeBron Lamez]

Imagine tryna goad Beterbiev into an entertaining, fan-friendly (& most importantly fun!) exchange of words loooooooooooool.

Promoters promote, fighters fight. From what I've heard in interviews Beterbiev is a sweetheart outside the ring.

[wrecksracer]

he's paid to fight, not to be a trained monkey for the Saudis (or Hearn).

Once again, Eddie Hearn proving to be the biggest jackass in boxing

My kind of guy. A man of few words. I can't stand when a fighter feels forced or worse yet enjoys the hype and **** talking like any of that matters. It's goofy and it drives me nuts that it seems necessary in today's fight game. Not a bit of it matters in the end. I loathe hype.

[JakeTheBoxer]

Leave the guy alone. he is a professional fighter, he is not there for a chat or for making friends.

Anyone who criticizes this has likely never been in a planned fight. The thoughts and emotions rattling around in that huge head of his have to be so intense right now!

Hearn: 'Look Artur, you may have spent the past 14 weeks in solitude training intensely, pushing sledges covered in ice uphill, chopping wood, going for 4 mile runs in the snow, sparring intensely & eating the bare minimum to keep yourself going, but that is no reason why you shouldn't be witty & amusing in your second, oh, is it your third language?'
Hearn is such a See you next time.

So now somebody is arrogant for being quiet?
