Comments Thread For: Beterbiev's Promoter Explains Move To Pass on Kovalev

[Weebler I]

The purse bid will only benefit the champion

No, it will benefit Haymon who will try to put it on PBC forcing Kovalev to vacate and never have to fight him.

Beterbiev will pick up an easy title against Erik Skoglund or someone and everyone will pretend Kovalev is a duck.

Well kov is entitled to 75% if he chooses to vacate what can Artur do about it

its not really a "choice" since he's locked into an exclusive HBO contract.........

Quack quack quack.

Artur got his skirt pulled up.

Got that card pulled

I see what you mean,but let me put it like this. It's one thing to try and force a purse bid,in order to make sure that you don't get screwed over in the negotiations,and you get your fair share of the pie. It's another thing to know that your side has a ton of investor money which they can just throw at the purse bid,and you intentionally blueball the negotiations,so you can force a purse bid and make the champion break his contract,or vacate his title. If they can negotiate a deal without a purse bid,then hells yeah,let them fight. If arturs team intentionally screws with negotiations in order to force a purse bid that will **** kovalev over,then screw those guys.

PBC is going to outbid HBO by a significant amount. Forcing the purse bid allows Michel to get his fighter the biggest purse possible. That is him doing his f-cking job!!!

Kov doesn't have to vacate-he can defend. He resigned to HBO AFTER he pulled out of the Stevenson purse bid. He f-cked himself!

Bieterbiev's promoter has more resources. why should he negotiate in a way that lowers his client's purse? even you can see that makes no sense.

Sorry dude but this is Boxing Darwinism-survival of the fittest. either duva gets her money up or gets devoured, simple as that.

Worst case scenario...Chilemba would be the one to fight for the vacant title... but he's never come up big

[kiaba360]

Soon, Fonfara/Beterbiev/Alvarez/Adonis will have all the belts and PBC will have a mini-tourney to crown the undisputed champion. If the PBC belts are actually being created, this would be the best time to unveil it. Kovalev is going be livid as he watches it unfold. The decision to sign with HBO could potentially ruin his prime.

Duva is a lifer in this business. She knew this could happen. Should've thought about it before pulling out of the Stevenson purse bid and resigning with HBO.

She just didn't think this through. Lets stop blaming Haymon for Kathy's ineptitude.

Very well might happen. Looks like Haymon is following Kathy's plan-get my guy as the mando, force a purse bid, and then if they do not fight, champ gets stripped.

sounds like this was the doing of beterbiev's trainer (marc ramsey?) probably the same guy who turned down chilemba at the start of the year
