Correct it is the IBO not the IBF title that Igor holds.

Barrera is pretty smart!!!

Barrera acted pretty similarly to Beyonce Wilder - took an easier fight for way less money...

Barrera ducked Kova for unproven Bivol

Beyonce ducked a $3 mil payday vs. Dillian in the UK for a fat, steroid-cheat Ortiz

Until Kathy or somebody in the know reveals the numbers involved for all parties , "less money" is meaningless all by itself...especially coming from Kathy!!!

If Barrera is being this difficult as the B side to Kovalev, I can imagine him ducking Sergay again if he has even more reason as champion -- we can forget any unification anytime soon, I would expect Sulivan to make a couple more paydays defending the WBA provided he beats Dmitry

; I'm rooting for Bivol for the good of the sport ( I know hes in tough) I don't care whats in Berreras best interest -- as a fan of boxing you should not applaud moves that deprive us of quality fights.

Are you saying Barrera-Bivol isn't a quality fight? You can't be serious. Well you once thought a midget with no defense was #1 lb for lb so you probably are serious.

So did the rest of the panel of experts based on accomplishments, but I guess we were too busy actually following the whole sport.

I'm not saying Bivol Barerra is not a quality fight, I actually said it should of been the mainevent in a previous thread, you twist my comment around to deflect the fact that you are behaving like a 'business-man' when real fans know this is a bad sign, thats like me saying I'm happy that Joey Parker is fighting Joshua when we should be getting Deontay Wilder.

Yes it's the second time he's turned down the fight because he wanted more money. He asked for more money this time and they weren't willing to give it to him. The only way he's gonna get the money he wants is by brining a belt to the table. The only way to get that belt is by beating Bivol. At least he's not complaining about wanting more money but not doing anything to earn it. He's actually trying to earn his higher payday. And he's going about it the hard way.

And some folks here are still giving him a hard time about it for some reasons!
