Comments Thread For: Beterbiev Hunts For New Opponent, Barrera Bails From Fight

[Sid-Knee]

$62k isn't much, but he might not get another payday for the first half of the year and even then it'll probably be about that much when he does.

Barrera's over-valuing himself for the Ward & Shabransky fights. LHW is not that hot of a division and he's not that big of a name. The IBF will drop him in their ratings.

Damn right they'll drop Barrera from the ratings. No way they can keep him high up if he's going to bail on the fight for mandatory.

Not happy with this news. It was shaping up to be a good fight.

Maybe the make Artur straight mandatory now because it seems everyone is messing him about.

Why agree to the fight then back out saying I didn't sign no contract. If he wasn't happy with the 62K he should have said no at the purse bid there and then.

That purse was insanely low for that quality of a fight. Not surprised.

[Sid-Knee]

I knew he was trying to get out of the fight with all those twitter posts. What a little *****.

can someone at light heavy please grow some balls and fight this guy? thanks.

Coward Sullivan didn't want that work.

Main Events (Kathy Duva) is trash! They didn't want the fight in the first place, even though Barerra did! Just like Arum, when Duva says no, she means NO! NO Stevenson for Kovalev, and now NO Beterbiev for Barerra! Very disrespectful!

Great post this
