Comments Thread For: Barrera Holds His Nose: The Kovalev vs. Mikhalkin Fight is a Joke!

[MisanthropicNY]

The ****** who ducked the fight is claiming it's a cherry pick... sounds like FIomos calling Manny a cherry-picker when Floyd offered him $40 mil flat...

You can't call someone a cherry-picker right after you duck the fight We're not fking ******.

The biggest moron in the sport! $300K is not chump change, and Kovalev is still a big enough name that if he beat him it would raise his profile tremendously. These fools are nothing thinking properly.

Now he's going to fight Bivol, for less money, and Bivol is more dangerous and younger than Kovalev is. So he'll likely get beat in that fight and then he can say goodbye to ever fighting Kovalev again or getting anything close to what he was offered.

Feel free to jump in Barrera lol

It's an embarassing statement by a guy that has ducked Kovalev twice now. Nothing golden about it.

Who are you his mother? Why are you catching feelings? It was a shytty offer what do you expect the man to do?

Damn that's a decent purse why would he turn that down?! Man he had an offer right there! No he's holding his nose lol!

Take the fight, make a statement, and ask for more money for the inevitable rematch.

Or get more money up front and Duva pay herself less. She’s the one with the 40 year window to make money. Not the fighter.

Kovalev fighting bums and Adonis fighting real contenders. Boy have the tables have turned.

[PunchyPotorff]

Wonder if there's a top ten list of fighters who make the worst biz decisions? If so, this schmuck gets #1 spot. Geez

What's the risk if all Kovalev can handle is Mikhalkin? Why take less money for another fight?
