Duva: we asked Barrera many times to calm down.

[ShoulderRoll]

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

What are you talking about?

[-PBP-]

What are you talking about?

After Ward beat Kovalev these racists stopped giving a ****

It's open season out here. Shots fired from all directions

[nubianpiye]

Barrera is doing the right thing why take such a risky fight fire next to nothing? He doesn't want to be a gate keeper losing to ward is no big deal if he loses again for peanuts what does he do next?

[DoktorSleepless]

The money was ****. Duva knew it was ****. Pulled out because it was **** and was correct to do so. Barrera made Duva agree to the fight, but is now barely realizing how **** it was, and is most likely backtracking because of that. The only mistake Barrera made was wasting time. Team Beterbiev is still largely responsible for the fight not happening for offering **** money to the first live body in his career.

Barrera lacks what we call 'mandibular fortitude'

[-Kev-]

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"

Sources TVA sports.


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$.

Lmao...whoa, sounds so much more enticing. How can you turn that down?

The fight was two weeks out and didn't have a venue. I want to see this fight but something strange was going on here. No venue. No promotion. No tickets being sold. Barrera had every right to be skeptical.

[drenlou]

Barrera has no chin. NONE

[Ray*]

So miscommunication between his own team, maybe Duva should talk to his own fighters more, how can you send a fighter a contract with no fight date or location?

It makes no sense at all.

I don't like playing the victim role but it seems like Cuban fighters are always getting shafted somehow. Except Gamboa... That ***** was just plain ******ed.
