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

says it all, he had no second thoughts about fighting ward but he doesnt dare get in the ring with beterbiev.

You might wanna check facts before speaking, boy. I know you got Beterbiev's c*ck all up in your mouth with his balls covering your eyes so I went ahead and looked up some figures for ya.

HBO Boxing purses: Ward $1.85 million, Barrera $450,000

Still no guarantee you will be able to read the numbers due to Beterbiev's balls still all up in your face but at least I tried.

It happened to Kovalev and Barrera. This a case of a promotional company not having proper funds for their fighter. Kovalev and Barrera should jump ship.

Duva doesn't think much of Barrera which is why she didn't even try for a purse bid. She would've likely been okay with paying $10 dollars for the whole event if it was up to her.

Kovalev and Barrera - call Al Haymon.

to the contrary....she thought PLENTY of him...that's what she low-balled him.

This wold be a decent fight, so I don't understand why HBO or Showtime wouldn't be willing to put up $300-400k for it.

Yea... Im not sure what to make of this. Let me wait and see what's really going on cause as pointed out, "article by Team Beterbiev."

[Kigali]

To lose even more money than what they would already? That is just non sense come back to reality the Bid duva offered wasn't even 200k so he would have made less if they won bid. Both dont sell simple like that

Don't take one side of the story and bolt like a spooked Mule.

compare resumes....then tell me who did the ducking.

Beterbiev's team didn't want this fight.

Meanwhile Duva's daughter spotted coming out of Burberry with a load of shopping bags and texting RJJ, "my mom's not coming home to tonight...you musta forgot!"

Disappointing but can't really blame him for wanting more than $62k for Beterbiev.

Ridiculous post This is a guy who wanted to fight Beterbiev more than anyone, and had been calling him out, you think after fighting shabranskyy and ward he care's about beterbiev, everyone said he'd lost to shabranskyy too look what happened, beterbiev would have been outboxed anyway

There is simply not that much money there for eliminator type fights

Remember when Lemieux and N'Dam fought for a total purse of ~$100k for an actual world title?

$62k for eight to ten weeks' work is not bad. Way above the national average

You can't compare a pro sport purse to what you and I make. The health hazard in a pro fight is also probably above the national average by a good margin as well. I'm sure i'm not risking brain damage and ending up in a hospital with a career ending brain injury when I go to work, and possibly not being able talk properly again.

I'm a fan, but I have to be reasonable, i'm not the one lacing up the gloves so I won't sit here and tell another man who's already more of a man than me by choosing that profession, that he's a p*ssy.

Salido, Lemiuex, idk who else, they were not fighting someone as dangerous as Beterbiev.
