Comments Thread For: Kovalev's Promoter Disappointed Beterbiev Took a Pass

[bigdunny1]

These guys don't even care about actual boxing, they're fans of haymon and get satisfaction if he out manoeuvres people Instead of actually having them fight.

Exactly it's so pathetic would rather root for a guy who is intentionally trying to maneuver a purse bid to win a belt by vacate rather then fight for the championship now. You cant call yourself a boxing fan if you do that. Shameful what Haymon is doing.

I guess they aren't even Haymon's fans -- they might be some confused low life bums...

I'm disappointed stevenson and ward took a pass also

I am glad that Kovalev already got two nice wins (respect to Pascal and Hopkins), who knows, maybe Sergey from now will get "GGG's situation" and wont get big fights.

Yes, that's almost as bad requesting a WBC purse bid vs. the WBC champion with a 50/50 split at that, being granted that purse bid, and immediately pulling out.

HBO nuthuggers are such f*ggots.

i mean coming from the lady who asked for a purse bid publicly

Duva never asked for the purse bid for Kovalev/Stevenson, Yvon Michel did.

You two keep posting that same lie over and over again

[kafkod]

It has nothing to do with him not ready to fight. He's 30 years old and been calling out Kovalev for the fight. The he is not ready excuse is bs. They are try to avoid the fight and instead get an eliminator fight just to get this to a purse bid to force Kovalev to potentially get his title vacated. It's transparent what's going on.

Yvon Michel explicitly said that they weren't planning to force a purse bid because if they did, Beterbiev would only get a flat 25% of the purse, and I'm inclined to believe him on that.

There's no guarantee that Haymon would win the bid if it happened. Duva might have one of the Russian promoters backing her up for this fight.

Both al Haymon fighters

Heaven forbid a guy with nine fights not wanting to fight arguably the best guy in his division. What a coward. #sarcasm
