Comments Thread For: Sullivan Barrera Reacts To "Scared" Claims of Artur Beterbiev

[RuslanChagaev]

Pff... An unnecessary fight for Artur so, Who's Barrera? If this fight happen, Artur'll knock him out easily.

Did you at least try to read the rules in the link I posted ? If not, please do... It's educational ...

I already read the IBF rules. The ones who apparently need to read them is Team Beterbiev.

And trust me, the last person who needs to be talking 'educational' is someone as ignorant as you. Your sig and avi show your fanboyism. Something you're blinded by.

All good then... So you know that the IBF couldn't issue that notice unless both parties had signed the agreement, right ?

"According to the IBF rules, GYM had to submit an official contract for the fight until February 17th, including date and site. On the eve, on February 16th, I received a standard IBF contract for the fight, signed it and sent it back to my promoter. The same contract was sent to Barrera. After receiving both contracts the IBF confirmed the fight which was scheduled on April 21th in Miami, where Barrera trains and lives." "On February 22th, Barrera started a notorious twitter war against my promoter trying to get more money from GYM. Kathy Duva even had to intervene by responding to her fighter that he must see his manager and lawyer. To cut this sad story short, I would like to repeat again: our 21th April fight in Miami was officially approved by the IBF and scheduled to take place. So whatever Barrera says, he refused the fight scheduled by the IBF." - See more at: http://www.boxingscene.com/artur-bet....8F5lufog.dpuf

I wonder what went wrong ?

Tough to find guys willing to take big risks for short change these days.

How can it be 50/50 when Barrera already has an L?

You are joking, right???? A loss or lack of a loss has absolutely nothing in and of itself to do with what a fighter makes, this is common boxing knowledge! I can name a bunch of fighters with losses that got a lot more than the unbeaten fighters they faced. This goes without saying! I can produce a list but I will charge you. PayPal and cash only, no personal checks.

60k is a no go for a pro at this level but if you sign something if your a man you keep your word.

[HeroBando]

This is all on Gym. If you got so much trouble finding decent opponents for your fighter, and a credible guy agrees, you gotta negotiate and overpay the guy. These jacka$$es went to purse bids immediately, with the 75/25 split. No **** it falls through. Why wasn't there a TV date for this quality fight anyway?

Remember Barthelemy vs Mendez had 0 promotion but at least they had a venue and tickets for sale. Lol Idk where this whole signed contract talk came from but I'm willing to bet it came from the GGG brigade just further trying to run a smear campaign. Then people just take whatever fits their agenda.

Bull**** money, no venue, some bull**** contract trying to manipulate things. Pffftt

This is true. The promotion was non-existent, but we knew where the bout was taking place and the tickets actually went on sale. I don't know what the hell happened with Barrera-Beterbiev, but it's what I'd call a cluster-fuck. Too bad, too. We all wanted to see this fight.

Damn right. Good post by team Barrera.

Here's Beterbievs promoter saying the contract wasn't signed.

"Barrera never signed his contract to fight Beterbiev and we know now never intended to fight Beterbiev," Michel told ESPN. "
