Comments Thread For: Barrera Taking Less Money For Bivol, Offered More For Kovalev

[RyanjLarose]

I love the Evander Holyfield way.Took significantly less to fight Mike Tyson,to get the fight done. Why? Because he backed himself to win,knowing he'd get big money thereafter in winning.And guess what happened? He spanked Iron Mike,not once,but twice. But now every mofo is looking for a big payday without earning it or being more anonymous than a wrong number.

this!

so fighting ward, shabransky, smith, varela and bivol one after the other is the easy way?

This is the risky part. I also think Bivol beats Barrera, but it seems Barrera is confident enough in his abilities hence why he took this fight for less money.

i admire his courage but it's a big risk that may very well backfire.

Bivol will put a dent on Barrera.

[Pigeons]

If Barrera beats Bivol he can command more money for a Kovalev fight.

If Barrera loses to Bivol the Kovalev fight will still be possible for him anyway down the road.

It's a win-win for him.

Man, if I'm getting railroaded in 3, I'd rather get $400K for it, instead of $50K coming off a loss.

With that said, I guess it shows confidence to go for less money against a guy that can still KO you in Bivol. He probably sees something in Bivol that he feels he can take advantage of. I like Bivol in that fight, but we'll see.

Lol why ? Does he think Bivol is still too inexperienced ?

Cause he thinks he has chances against Bivol. Yes

]Firstly, to this day I wonder why most people say that Holyfield was "spanking" Tyson in the second fight. It was quite level until the bite.

If it were as level as you're suggesting,then Tyson wouldn't have needed to go chomping on Holyfield's ear.

Interesting choice

Well we win either way. Bivol-Barrera is a good fight.

Winner getting Kovalev will make for a great fight.

he bite him because the head-butts. He complained from the first fight and the ref did nothing. He just wanted to hurt holyfield, period. It is say that they teach how to use your head in Georgia. Verno Forrest was very good at that too. No offense. It is a really violent sport.
