These things are completely unconnected. There isn’t a Russian essence that Bivol shares with the nation making him responsible for something Putin has decided to do. That’s absolutely moronic and ridiculous. Your framing it as ‘evil Russians’ and ‘innocent Ukrainians’ is moronic and simple minded, especially considering the US influence in this conflict. Do you have any idea about the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, about Kyiv stopping to water supply to Crimea and destroying the ‘innocent Ukrainians’ livelihood over recent years? These things are complex so stop being so simple. That’s a tangent, Bivol is a boxer and he has absolutely nothing to do with anything that is happening in Ukraine. What you’re saying is racist, plain and simple. Russia hasn’t been communist for thirty years you imbecile, they are state capitalists almost identical in structure to the US (Elon Musk is no different than any Russian oligarch) with the same conservative values as todays Republicans.
Maybe if NATO hadn't broken their promises and kept expanding towards Russia the Russians wouldn't feel under threat… Also it's a bit rich coming from westerners especially Americans lecturing people about 'invading' other countries isn't it… you've been carpet bombing the Middle East for decades.. BTW Ukraine is a money laundering cesspool riddled with American corruption. The Bidens are in it up to their bloody necks… Read this before mouthing off next time: https://www.wearethemighty.com/articles/these-are-the-only-3-countries-america-hasnt-invaded/
don't worry he will get paid. have you heard of offshore accounts? Matchroom USA will first receive the money, then they can transfer to any account in the world (besides Russia)... you can transfer it to Cyprus for example, which is a mecca for offshore banking.. then from there, it can be wired to Russia. boom problem solved
It's bull****. He did the work. He conducted himself properly. He needs to get paid the contracted amount.
Were talking boxing here, not your opinion of what's really going on in a war you're not fighting from your couch potato living room, as you virtue signal. Stay on topic and off politics.
nah, bivol should stop fighting in USA. He has the belts, right? so he can. Nobody can guarantee him that he will not get robbed again there. give that man his money! he worked hard to earn it, and he deserves every single penny he earnt.
If the govering bodies did not want ti pay because of "Any" reason why sanction the fight in the 1st place, hardly sportsman like behaviour from them . Whereas Bivol & his team.appear ,to me, to be consumate Gentlemen, its a disgrace which fits in with boxings tarnished image.
His not being robbed. They are clearly still trying to figure out the best way to get him the money outside the sanctions.
The way Oligarchs have been dropping dead like flies in Russia recently. Frankly anyone coming into big money should get out of that country right now.
