He's definitely due for another shot, I think he is Mando for winner of Bivol's next fight. Probably was worried about losing that position as well.

Smart move. He's done enough to try and gain some extra value at the negotiating table.

I like how detailed this explanation was. It allows for a fair assessment of the decision. I hate how vauge these explanations are most of the time.

Poor guy. $300K isn't enough for 36 minutes of work. It's his job. He shouldn't be treated unfairly.

[DuckAdonis]

Barrera should be fighting for that vacant title instead of Bivol

[THEFRESHBRAWLER]

Kathy Duva should just fold lol she is worthless

[GMAN SUPREME]

why would main events make them fight now they can make the fight later and will it be title fight and get another hbo main event for both of them.

[NEETzsche]

He isn't getting $300k against Bivol

Barrera is coming off of 2 big wins and a Ward fight but he is suppose cash out in a 60k fight vs this dude, LOL. Some of you guys are silly little kids. How about Gvozdyk vs Beterbiev (His team over Barrera 60k for a fight, lol!)
