Comments Thread For: Artur Beterbiev Wants To Have Two Fights By Early June

[Teetotaler]

No it doesn't need Adonis. Kovalev vs Beterbiev would go to a purse bid and most likely won by the Russian who just paid 7 million for Wilder vs Povetkin. It'll likely be on HBO. He speaks the truth Kovalev in Russia is the payday.

what? The guy who won the purse bid doesnt promote kovalev. Even if he did win the purse bid he'd still lose money. He admitted to losing money on the wilder-povetkin fight so he'll also lose money on this one. It'll just be easier for beterbiev to fight alvarez or stevenson. Maybe even fonfora. There is absolutely no way a kovalev-beterbiev fight happens this year

So Michel wants to have two champions under control and that's very smart. But while Kovalev faces the bigger opposition, Stevenson still will milk his paper belt. When Adonis shows his age, if Artur beats Kova, then prolly Michel will feed beterbiev with that fake champ.

He showed up with 15 million for Fury vs Wlad purse bid he has nothing to do with either. They just had a 14 fight card in Grozny on Saturday and Beterbiev is Chechen. Kovalev is the fight that makes him most money. It's like people excuse HBO guys for refusing huge fights.

Regardless of what you think about Haymon and the PBC, the one common denominator with these guys is they are all inactive, some guys are gonna say bbbbut he was injured, yeah like chavez and porter and thurman and khan and garcia, somethings up, seems like the pbc is rolling out alot less shows.

haha he had nothing to do with the wlad-fury fight. They reached an agreement. HBO guys? What are you a network fanboy?

A lot of the best Eastern Euros are going with Haymon. Beterbiev, Sergey Der, Lipinets, Khtryov and Gobil. I guess you have to have them all as the signed to a Black man.

Yeah and those guys will have to find a new promoter when their "advisor's" company goes **** up.

Beterbiev needs a real fight. Hopefully a fight with Alvarez and Fonfara. I think Adonis and Kov beat Beterbiev but Barerra and Ward would be entertaining fights.

the top eastern euros are with klimas. guys like beterbiev are with michel and khtryov is with dibella. they had promoters then signed with haymon. not like most haymon guys who don't have promoter contracts

They are actually more active. Some of the top guys have fought 2-3 times a year. Wilder fought 3 times last year, Charles Martin fought 4 times, Chavez Jr fought 2 times but was supposed to fight 3 (injured), Marcus Browne fought 4 times, Artur Beterbiev fought 2 times but got injured (was supposed to be on the Stevenson card), Errol Spence had 4 fights, Carl Frampton had 3 fights, and Leo Santa Cruz had 4 fights.

Their top more established guys fight like 2-3 times a year. Some fights need to build up and the timing has to be right for both fighters. With more channels being added expect a lot more activity, especially from the guys who already fought this year. They have added Fox so expect more fights this year.

Sounds good. Have an easy opponent to test out the shoulder in April then have him fight a Cleverly type of opponent in June.
