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

Sorry but that is a guarantee of $600K if he had won the first fight. I cannot excuse that. I was waiting for him to confirm this before making any critical comments.
For a guy that doesn't get a lot of fight offers i think that was a fight he should have taken on. His name would still be out there even if he had lost the fight, he got his name out there by fighting Ward and fighting Kov would have been a wiser decision than waiting for a title shot.
If he was mexican (Fanbase/name) it would have been an easier decision, but because he is Cuban and we know a lot of people don't like fighting Cubans, he should have taken that fight.

You aren't going to command 7 digit money when you are a Cuban (a nationality in the US that goes notoriously without much of a fanbase) & your best W is over Joe Smith (a guy who's considered more of a fluke contender by the average boxing fan than a legit threat).
Beat Kovalev & then you actually got a name, even if its a lately lowered valued name with his recent L which seems like it was a quit by some cats, that can garner you more money in the future.
But acting like a fight with Kov = more money next time is bs. A Kov win = more money, but even than you got draw problems being a Cuban in the US that is likely making your ceiling lower than a lot of other cats who could beat Kov moving forward.

I see where he's coming from, but the sad thing is that there is nobody at LHW that will pay much more than what Barrera would get from Kov. He's just not gonna get a million dollar payday.
Guess he'd rather get a belt than fight biggest challenges.
