Damn i thought Barrera couldn't fight in Canada?

That's... atrocious for those 2 fighters.

So unless I have a complete lack of understanding about this, they're each getting about 100k each? That's ridiculously cheap.

basically if smith takes the adonis fight he gives us not only the adonis fight but he allows beterbiev vs barrera to take place..

the superman stevenson curse could rear it's ugly head if smith decides to go another direction.

so much for Duva pulling out of the bid, but no surprise Michel won with his guy getting the bulk of the money
