Comments Thread For: Dmitry Bivol vacates WBC belt, David Benavidez to become full titleholder

Let's see what the champ does after the trilogy fight.

That’s a shame, who can Benny fight in the meantime hmm how’s Yarde looking. Don’t wanna see Callum Smith get another beating.

[jaded]

It's a no-brainer...he makes much more money fighting Beterbiev, and then he will fight Benavidez...which will probably be another Saudi payday as well.

I honestly cannot understand ducking comments here. Everybody in Bivol's shoes would do exactly what he is doing. Turki just delivered to him two highest paydays in his life by far which probably eclipse his total earnings up to that point in his career AND he is offering another fight at presumably similar purse level as the previous two. Anybody who has two brain cells would grab that with both hands instead of listening to sanctioning bodies demanding mandatories, threatening to strip him blah, blah blah.

Some days, I think people just come here angry and ready to criticize no matter what is happening.

You are just assuming his pay pays. All we know as a fact is the reported pay days, and he only got 2.7m officially for the last fight with beterbiev. PBC offered Bivol 8m to fight David in vegas. Thats plenty of money.

What's the POINT OF Mandotories then? Boxers earn them for nothing.
Boxers should ignore them and use their two brain cells.

They only use the sanctioning bodies when it benefits them. You probably prefer Bivol to again fight the injured 40 year old.

Benevidez went back on his word. He said he would allow a trilogy bout to decide it before he pressed his mandatory if that’s how it played out. Haymon clearly got in his ear and they want that belt there’s no precedent for the WBC to jump the line in rotation for undisputed mandatory. WBC continues to prove they’re a joke

Well, when half your comment providers haven’t excelled beyond an 8th grade comprehension level; do you expect any less?

That 40 year old has less tear on his body than any in the top 10. In addition, he is the hardest hitting in said division. Lastly, did we expect the top two not to face each other again for their 3rd largest payday?

[El_Mero]

It was closer to 10 mil each apparently for the rematch.

Rematch or trilogy?

[TelMex]

This was the plan along. WBC belt will now be held hostage.
