Comments Thread For: Beterbiev Accepts Kovalev Challenge - HBO is No Issue!

haymon will find a way to stop it from being made.

U sound ****** . This is a COMPLETE win win for Haymon . He willingly allows Beterbiev to fight on HBO to potentially strap grab ALL of Kovalev ' belts , awhile fast tracking Beterbiev's road to instant stardom. If anyone kills this it's Duva , as the risk/reward factor is no where near in her favor

If Duva tries some silliness (ie tries to hide options on Beterbiev in the contract, offer less than 75/25 split on the purse, etc) GYM petitions the IBF for Beterbiev-Skoglund (#2 vs #4 for mandatory position) at around the same date as Kovalev is supposed to fight, and GYM starts forcing Kovalev to start vacating his belts (Fonfara-Cleverly for the WBA mandatory is said to be in the cue as well).

Either way, Haymon does right by his fighter by 1)helping to deliver the path for the opportunity and 2)making sure that, above all else, his fighter understands that he did everything in his power to get them and their family the largest payday possible.

how can you mention ward with a strait face when youre boy ggg is avoiding him with all they got ?

Don't pay Golovkin the poster no mind , all he does is massage the balls of all Euro fighter's and attempt to s..t on all the black ones . When u call him out on his nonsense he never responds because he can't validate ANYTHING he says .

Michel just called Duvas bluff. i hope she offers a fair deal, because this fight is the most anticipated to me

Surprised to hear this fight happening so quickly.

There is some background here.

Is Kovalev jumping on this inevitable opponent, before he can get established ?

Marinating is fkn awful, but this fight appears to be best-served down the line, once Beterbiev has hit the world stage.

Whatever, it could be a cracker.

I understand why people say this is too early for Artur, but from what Krusher been saying, he may only have a few fights left in him at 175.

I also don't think Kathy will try and use a poison pill contract. This should be a straight up fight on HBO, with a rematch only if Krusher loses to be on HBO.

As for the fight itself, I expect Artur to come out strong & trouble Krusher from the start. However, Krusher will get clean shots in , rock Artur& get the KO under 5 rounds.

Kovalev is on another level right now.

This fight won't happen.. Duva will offer a crap deal with strings attached

I agree

Duva isn't gonna risk her cash cow this early

All this theatrics simply to justify a poor opponent in the next fight

Risk it with who? Beterbiev

[The Hammer]

Haymon will block this fight.

HBO not going agree to fight without the options it's a good chance artur beats krusher to much to lose
