"Several IBF ranked contenders in the top ten had refused to fight Beterbiev - until Barrera answered the call." Lol , says everything about Bieterbiev that you need to know... Whish he'd gone after Stevenson instead though, that guy is facing nobodyComment

who cares if ....." the rules blah blah "..... ?
1) that was a shht deal
2) considering the fact that you are nobody, did you offer him 50/50?
3) if answer to #2 is no, then stop crying
a good fighter, enjoying his work so far and enjoying the fact that he appears to be prepared to fast-track..... but stop with the lame party-line technicalities
your proposition was not attractive enough for Barrera, for WHATEVER reason..... /story
Normally I would be on Barreras side it should be a better split but his Promoter is Duva and the **** she pulled on Tyson and tried with Adonis
... this is Michel sticking it to her as payback at her fighters expense....Comment

Exactly. Skin color has nothing to do with it. This is business. Even if Barrera makes peanuts his next fight his name is still viable as long as he wins. If he loses this fight for peanuts he goes to the back of the line making peanuts. The ABC orgs are playing favorites. It's been done before, but at least pay the guys who have paid their dues.Comment

If Beterbiev was real fighter, he would have forgo the ****** IBF rules, and have offered him something better than 25/75 during negotiations. He damn well knew getting anyone decent with that ****** split would never happen. It's why Duva originally said no to the fight. If he's comfortable fighting lesser fighters and ducking Kovalev, that's on him.
thats it right thereComment

It looks like Barrera signed expecting more money from ME but they balked and he walkedComment

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.Comment

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.Comment
