Comments Thread For: Top Rank confirm departure of Artur Beterbiev

[SouthpawRight]

IMO, Artur Beterbiev still hasn't lost. Bivol survived him, he did not beat him, because it was all he could do to survive him. Again, IMO, Bivol couldn't beat him because he was working too damn hard just to survive him.

That was fight 1 where Bivol was defensive in rounds 10 through 12

Bivol clearly 8-4'd Artur's ass in fight 2

Basically he wants Turki to give him another fight and he won't have to give Bob a cut.

Unlikely he joins Matchroom, be very expensive, and PBC are dead.

Artur is between a rock and a hard place

Turki offered Artur a trilogy so Artur would give Bivol that instaRematch

but Turki thought Bivol beat Artur twice already and wanted Benavdiez to fight either in November

I mean Turki might find another fight for him too. Maybe a Smith or Benavidez.
He's basically the only one that can afford to give him a payday close to what he got v Bivol.

Maybe by cutting Bob out he's making the amount Turki needs to pay out lower too.

Other than that, I can't see what Matchroom will offer him at 40 yrs old and no long term way of them paying them back.

And Dana's the only other relevant promotion I suppose, but he will only offer peanuts to fight.

That is good. I want Bivol - Beterbiev 3.
