    Right. Blaming one side for the money thing is nonsense when it comes to a mandatory, as there will always be pursebids if the money isn't right.

    Wouldn't work, seems like most of the top ranked IBF fighters would rather be cucks and allow Beterbiev to ravage their wives and girlfriends than face the man in the ring lol. "Here please take my wife Mr Beterbiev just don't hit me"

    He was never with Main Events.

    He was with GYM for years but they repeatedly refused to let him fight Alvarez or Stevenson.

    Start asking top 15 in other divisions, start with 168 and go down until some flyweight accepts and sparks Artur!

    ME ?

    He was with Canadian promoter GYM but sued them to get out just before his title shot lol. Court date is in May

    He's with Haymon, but Al doesnt do **** for him

    Beterviev must also be a really tough character to do business with.

    They are probably offering absolute peanuts compared to Kovalev

    This. No decent fighter is going to fight Beterbiev for pennies.

    But in the case of Kovalev, couldn't HBO come up with a suitable amount of money?

    After all, it would be a FAR more interesting fight than Yarde-Beterbiev or Meng-Beterbiev.

    I can see him paraphrasing Larry Merchant's "if I was 50 years younger..."

    Doubt they'd be too happy about having to pay out of pocket for a fight they're anticipating will be nothing but net profit in a year or two after they let the stew marinate.

    Can Beterbiev sign with Eddie Hearn?

    I lost it at “**** someone’s wife” but Tyrone bit killed me :D didn’t expect that, as silly as that dude is, his video’s do make me laugh.

    Seems like Beterbiev has a long list of wife’s to visit and a whole lot of slaps to dish out.
