Sullivan Barrera has pulled out of his March 21 fight vs. Artur Beterbiev. I never thought he would fight that monster for $62K

Man only $62k? You can't buy anything at JC Penny for $62K...

WTF?? Only 62K?? You can't walk in the street with 62K

[bojangles1987]

Man, **** Barrera. This is some nonsense. Yeah, we get it, you never signed the contract, but sign it now and who gives a ****? Instead you bail on the fight entirely?

That's gym and training fees, starvation wages for this type of a fight.

and Ward will announce retirement

[Tony Trick-Pony]

Wow. Artur is one scary dude apparently. This is rather pathetic really. These guys need to grow some balls.

$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.
