Duva: we asked Barrera many times to calm down.

[iNixus]

For the first time since Barrera backed out of the fight Katy Duva who promote Sullivan Barrera broke silence in New York during Lemieux-Stevens fight night.

Main Event worked with GYM to make the fight happen

she said that the first contract Barrera received didnt ad a date and a place, second contract had a date with many place to make the fight happen. Se mentionned that she was wrking with Yvon Michel to make the fight happen in florida.

"We asked Barrera manny times to cam down. Yvon michel worked with us to bring the fight in United States. For Main Event finding the right place in florida wasn't a big deal but Barrera is the guy who sign the contract and he didn't agree with us"

Main Events was giving more money to make the fight happen

Also according to the journal de Montréal main Event was giving Barrera 12 000$ to Barrera to make the fight happen which would have gave him a lil bit around 75 000$.

From what we have seen his purse was $62k so the additional 12 doesn't put that over 80k, which still isn't good money for this level of fight

[GMAN SUPREME]

if he did sign the contract than main events should sue the crap out of barrera.

yea my mistake fixed that i though it was 69k

BUt it was probly only chance barrera would have got to get tittle shot. doubt he will ever get another tittle shot. if Kov do beat ward in rematch no way TV will want that fight Ko beat Ward wich blanked Barrera. Stevenson won't fight him either

This proves Barrera is as dumb as he looks.

Terrible contract, he should not be fighting an important fight under such dismal terms.

Dismal terms? Michel was trying to bring the fight in Barrera Hometown to please him if he waited a bit more they would have found a place. If he want to wait for the exact place before signing the contract im fine with it he didnt have to pull out.

[Holystroke3]

If Barrera was informed about what his purse would look like going to purse bid, I can't imagine he agreed to that

Seems legit.

Nobody is denying that there was a contract. Barrera's manager even said it. The problem was how GYM was trying to manipulate that contract.

if he did sign the contract than main events should sue the crap out of barrera.

There have been 0 news of a contract being signed. Not even Duva said there was a signed contract.

It's always the promoters fault or someone else's fault when the black guy pulls out of a fight.
