Comments Thread For: Artur Beterbiev Inks Long-Term Pact With Al Haymon

[BoxingJunkie]

another LHW running to haymon to duck Kovalev

I might have almost believe that except Artur has already schooled Sergey TWICE in the amateurs and he's a sore loser about it to!

[_original_]

Good move for both parties.

Kovalev won't face Stevenson for the WBC title
Beterbiev will be the IBF mandatory
Fonfara is ranked in the top 4 for the WBA and WBO titles

He has to show up for 1 of these purse bids right?

If HBO wants the fight then they should put up the money. You can't talk all that ***** and not show up to a purse bid. Stevenson has the lineal title, and Beterbiev already beat him in the past. Why does he keep getting a pass? They are talking about facing Pascal again WTF?

I'd assume they make Beterbiev vs Stevenson, but not til Beterbiev has gotten a title (assuming the one Kovalev will vacate to avoid fighting off of HBO after Duva loses a purse bid or refuses to participate in one). Nowadays when you got two high level guys, which I believe both Beterbiev & Stevenson to be, but not quite superstars, you almost can't make that fight for its maximum impact without both being title holders since the thinking seems to be if you don't have one of the numerous titles you obviously aren't as important in your division.

I agree. Beterbiev will be a big draw, at least in Canada, dude can punch. He is basically considered the hardest punching amateur (at least in the head-gear era) of all time. As long as he learns french, I think he'll be a huge attraction there.

pbc has made some interesting moves such as having the battle of ohio in vegas, having lara fight in chicago, having carl frampton fight in el paso, barthelemy vs demarco in vegas, but what they do have is a lot of fighters who are willing to go fight in strange places in front of no crowd.

LOL, sadly true. If Kovalev vs Stevenson had been made it'd surely had been in Puerto Rico or some dumb ****. Whoever is deciding where to set fights with PBC needs to be fired ASAP.

I came here to see the racist bigots reaction to these news. They will somehow forgive to Haymon and will give a pass to him or they will hate now on Beterbiev too?

PS: This doesn't apply to every eastern-euro fans. Don't get upset about it if it isn't for you.

WTF are you talking about man!!!?
Lol I'm just playing. There is actually people that already hate Beterbiev because he's Chechen ******, which is crazy to me. I don't know why people have to bring race or religion into boxing. But there is racists on both sides, so lets not accuse one side and not the other.

I personally don't care if Beterbiev is with Haymon. At the end of the day, Haymon is giving him TV time and fights (4 fights a year to watch one of my favorites, what more can I ask for). Beterbiev is one of Haymon's best up and comers imo, I think he'll be treated fairly.
Even if Haymon wasn't Beterbiev's manager, I still don't hate him. He's giving us more fight dates and TV coverage. I might not agree with everything he's doing, but the other side is also doing some crap things.

So I'm not complaining.
WAR BETERBIEV!!! WAR HAYMON!!!

That is where it'll get ugly. Can you imagine him having to drop his belts one by one when a Haymon-affiliated fighter becomes mandatory? That **** looks SO bad on Kovalev. Haymon doesn't seem to care about the belts, but soon he'll have all of them at LHW if things plays out like we think it will.

Not you. I didn't mean to you. I meant to the likes of Tay Rock,Foreign Soil, Freedom or Hype Job.
Yes they are on both sides but as I saw it was a consensus among these bigots on Haymon/PBC hating and ****riding everything comes from Russia. I thought it's interesting how they react to a situation like this.

But I already wrote in my PS: It's not apply to every eastern-euro fans. So don't get upset
