i've only seen monaghan once, and it was his last fight. He was outboxed and lost against a dude that had 10+ losses, yet obviously gifted the win.

After that pathetic perfomance, this dude shouldn't even be allowed to look at the title. But here we are. Stevenson is a joke, taking a dude like this next.

stevensons manager haymon has a deal with barclays center which owns a new arena in newyork where stevenson is fighting.... Haymon and pbc picked joe smith but his greedy ass promoter thought he had the right to control the venue and ticket sales like he was the a side..... Haymon and pbc told him to go to hell and picked the next best guy that sells tickets in new york.... Its not rocket science.... For months the boxing media has been saying joe smith vs seanie is a great fight... So why cant stevenson fight him instead???? Enough with these transparent double standards.....

Beterbiev didn't want a freebie...so he's fighting Enrico Koelling????

he's fighting the only guy that agreed to fight him...

Monaghan is a limited fighter but a local draw. Top Rank used him all the time on undercards in NY to draw in a crowd, so no coincidence this was going to be held in NYC. Stevenson probably figures Sean is a low-risk high-reward fight.

Stevenson and haymon picked joe smith first until his promoter said he wanted to control all the ticket sales and venue bussiness....haymon already had a deal with barclays who owns this new arena so picking the 2nd biggest ticket seller in NY was the natural choice.... joe smith over estimated his bargaining power and now he has no big fight lined up.....

yvon michel is supposed to be stevenson's promoter. Promoters don't wait to learn the details (time & place) of an event from a fighter's manager. It's completely backwards. You could almost assume that haymon is the promoter and yvon michel is just the lowly manager, but that can't be true because pbc would never violate "the muhammad ali act", and honorable men like yvon michel and lou dibella would never help them do so. Lol

this same ******ed ali act argument was thrown in the garbage by a federal judge in federal court recently..... So try some other sad washed up argument lmfao...... None of these fighters who keep signing with haymon give a **** arse about some ali act..... The judge smacked down golden girl and oscarina de la ****s lazy and bitter lawsuit against the man that runs boxing..... The judge said the ali act is meant to protect fighters and not some crooked promoters from each other.... The judge also said golden girl only showed damage to themselves because of haymon..... They showed no instance where any fighter complained about haymon... Not one frucking fighters came to court and complained about haymon.... Yet somehow fan boys like you pretend to be boxingscene experts..... Yawnnnnnnnnnn

was looking forward to barrera putting a boxing clinic on beterbiev, shame they didn't want to pay him

Classic example of two guys - Stevenson and Beterbiev - who should be fighting each other instead of beating up a couple of nobodies.

Don't bring logic into a boxing thread.

This is what happens when promoters have too much control in the world of boxing. I wish more boxers would work towards controlling their own destiny & promoters just put on the f#cking fights vs trying to maximize every angle they can. Too much business bs in a sport with boxing these days.

Don't blame a purse bid on Barrera not getting enough money. If the fight was worth more he'd have gotten more.

Or his own promoter could throw more money his way, but Main Events only offered him 10k more which wasn't acceptable to him either. Funny thing is its probably his 3rd best payday so idk what all the money drama is about unless he's thinking about cashing out.

Beterbiev didn't want a freebie...so he's fighting Enrico Koelling????

Feel free to send a resume from anyone relevant willing to fight him to GYM ...

Koelling chickened out once already at the first IBF Mando run down... Now he's willing... Let's wait before saying Yeah !

Sit back down with your lies kid. It was only SOME of it and not all. Which is completely normal in a co-promotion.
