Comments Thread For: Artur Beterbiev Explains Barrera Mess - He Refused To Fight Me!

[JASON SHAW]

You can't really blame either guy IMO. It would be ****** for Barrera to take 25% when if anything he's the more known fighter, it would be ****** for Beterbiev to offer a bigger split to make a tough fight when he's so close to a title shot.

ARE YOU SMOKING CRACK THIS MORNING OR METH??? BARRERA LOST THE PURSE BID BECAUSE HIS PROMOTER IS BROKE.... WHEN YOU LOSE A PURSE BID YOU DONT GET TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THE SPLIT.... AT LEAST NOT ON THIS PLANET.... JUST LIKE THAT RUSSIAN COWARD PULLED OUT AFTER HAYMON WON THE STEVENSON PURSE BID NOW YOU FAN BOYS MAKE MORE EXCUSES FOR THE FIGHTER THAT PULLED OUT.... SO FROM NOW ON EVERY HAYMON FIGHTER CAN JUST PULL OUT OF A FIGHT BECAUSE HE HATES THE SPLIT..... I HOPE YOU FAN BOYS DEFEND THAT HAYMON FIGHTER ALSO IF IT HAPPEN BUT I HIGHLY DOUBT YOU WILL

[JASON SHAW]

Nah, can't blame him for this.

25% of the split against a huge name might be accepted, but 25% against a relative unknown? No chance.

BARRERA THE COWARD IS THE ONLY ONE TO BLAME... ONLY COWARDS SIGN CONTRACTS THEN PULL OUT AFTER THEY HAVE A COUPLE OF NIGHTMARES..... LETS HOPE BARRERA HAD ON DIAPERS WHEN BETERBIEV VISITED HIM IN HIS NIGHTMARES

[JASON SHAW]

Personally this seems like Michel is getting a bit of payback at Duva for the WBC stunt she pulled... he's in a position of power and is putting the screws to her...He knows AB and SB are the same status(Barrera might be a bit higher to be honest) but he using his leverage to his advantage.... it's messed up but that's Karma.

MICHEL WON THE PURSE BID... BARRERS IS THE COWARD HERE WHO PULLED OUT AFTER SIGNING THE CONTRACT TO SAVE HIS REPUTATION..... YOU ANT PULL OUT AFTER SIGING AND USE PHONY EXCUSES ABOUT A BAD SPLIT....

The purse split is the same whoever wins ******.

[JASON SHAW]

It was a foolish offer and I hope the boxing community doesn't discredit Barrera for this.

YOU ****** IT WAS NOT A OFFER... BARRERAS BROKE PROMOTER LOST THE PURSE BID LIKE SHE ALWAYS DOES..... BETERBIEVS PROMOTER WON THE BID SO THEY GOT THE MAJORITY OF THE MONEY... THATS HOW BOXING WORKS.... ONLY COWARDS LIKE BARRERA SIGN A CONTRACT THEN PULL OUT AFTER HAVING A FEW NIGHTMARES..... LETS HOPE BARRERA WAS WEARING A DIAPER WHEN BETERBIEV VISITED HIM IN HIS DREAMS....

So wait Barrera coming off a career best performance was going to get less than 100k to fight Beterbiev? Can't really blame him for backing out. Why is Beterbiev chasing the IBF anyway? He's got the WBC in his own staple just go fight Stevenson already. Al Haymon is playing the same games with Beterbiev as he did with Spence, trying to get them to chase the one belt outside their promotion instead of fights that are easier to make. They wanted Spence to chase a weight drained guy in Brook, they want Beterbiev to fight the Kovalev-Ward winner which is actually a great fight, but the problem is Haymon keeps doing what is best for Haymon, not what is best for his fighters.

Stevenson is the perfect fight for Beterbiev. Get the WBC against an older guy, in Canada, where there is an audience for that fight. Lower risk, higher reward. Instead his career has stalled taking years to chase down a separate belt just because Haymon wants to collect them all.

Anyway, can't blame Duva for getting her fighter a shot at the IBF, but since Beterbiev is in the way, this was not the way to go for Barrera. Duva should have tried to steer him in another direction.

But honestly, if Haymon cared about boxing, he would make Stevenson-Beterbiev. Stevenson-Beterbiev fight on their side, Kovalev-Ward fight on their side, then winners fight. Wtf is wrong with that? Instead Haymon is pulling his usual bull**** and as a result the last two years of BOTH Beterbiev and Stevenson's careers have been a total waste.

TYPICAL ******ED FAN BOY MAKING EXCUSES FOR THE COWARD WHO PULLED OUT OF THE FIGHT... I GUESS HAYMON GUYS SHOULD START PULLING OUT AFTER LOSING PURSE BIDS AND ******ED FAN BOYS LIKE YOU WILL GIVE THEM PASSES TOO HAHAHAHA....

[JASON SHAW]

Barrera signed the contract. The IBF say he signed it and even his own promoter says he signed it.

THESE ******ED FAN BOYS HAVE NO SHAME.... THEY MAKE UP LIES ALL THE TIME

[JASON SHAW]

haymon gives lara 1 million a fight and he cant even give barrera a decent purse? 200-300k

you must be drunk... Beterbievs promoter is not haymon.... Its michel! He won the purse bid.... After you win a bid the split is decided by the ibf not the promoters dummy..... Only cowards like barrera pull out after siging the contract....

[Madison Boxing]

lol these light heavyweights are scared ****less of beterbiev

[JASON SHAW]

The purse split is the same whoever wins ******.

AND BETERBIEV WON AND THAT COWARD BARRERA SIGNED THE CONTRACT ACCORDING TO EVEN HIS OWN PROMOTER.... NOW THAT HE IS HAVING NIGHTMARES ABOUT BETERBIEV SO HE PULLS OUT AND YOU FAN BOYS MAKE EXCUSES FOR HIM? WONDERFUL....
