    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

    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.

          Arum didn't do anything for Beterbiev. Arum thinks the fighters work for him which is very arrogant, he thinks he's the Bobfather but a real promoter is supposed to serve his fighters best interests. Arum and his infinite greed is still exploiting fighters to fill his pockets more.

            time to mop Artur THRICE, Fat Dave, and Parker's Cousin Buff Guy Jai

            throw in a Cuban David or his cousin Osleys too for good measure

                To the boxing Gods: just please make Beterbiev-Benavidez before Artur retires.

                  Smith ? Both of the Smiths got their Soul taken away and needed a lengthy recovery after fighting Beterbiev... They're not ****** enough to risk their brains again... The Monster though... Yessssss .... After Bivol and the regaining of the belts ....
