Comments Thread For: Sullivan Barrera Explains Why He Rejected Sergey Kovalev Fight

[The D3vil]

$300k isn't good money?!?! He's not THAT known and isn't THAT much of a draw either is he??! $300k seems fine.

Dude, $300,000 is not enough to get beat senseless by a guy like Kovalev, I'm sorry.

Maybe a less dangerous fighter, but Barrera has momentum after the Ward loss, finally.

Fighting Kov lessens your career span drastically. If there's no belt or money in it, don't do it.

-_-
beating kovalev will boost ur value dude, cmon, som1 will pay u higher 1 way or another

I get where he's coming from but sometimes you gotta bet on yourself. Nothing is guaranteed when you bet on yourself but the reward is high.

A win now over Kovalev would be bigger than a win over any of the other title holders sans Stevenson but you're not getting that fight. And your promoter sucks so you gotta take risks

Yup! Right nows the best time to fight Kovalov. Hes a mess and he doesnt even have a trainer???

Thank God the posters on here aren't agents or negotiators. Guys will take anything.

Shut that **** up

In his head he rather have a title shot and secure a title.

I win against Kov would had helped his cause

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

Sadly, boxing is a sport where if you take an "L" you are frowned upon and could be the end of your career as a top fighter.

If he loses to Kovalev, he will never get another meaningful fight with a good pay day. This is his job!

Smarter to bide his time and build up his name and wait until he can get a better offer.
