    I would target Canelo, if I were Beterbiev.

    It was said that Beterbiev was paid only $500K for the fight with Yarde.

    If he fights Canelo, he will be paid at least $5M. And if I were Beterbiev, I would take a dive and agree to be knocked out by Canelo and increase my salary $5M more.

    Where else he will get $10M from? He is paid $500K per fight maximum. And he's already 38 years old.

    He got over 1m against Yarde

    Against Smith it's 2m

    If the Bivol fight happens then he is looking at minimum 5m if it's in Saudi Arabia

    If he goes through Bivol and fights Benavidez it's another big payday and a lesson in humility for David

    Gigantic weight bully boring safety-first featherfist Haney earned $3 mill for fighting an old shot much lighter inactive Linares who was 3-2 in his previous 5, both losses via KO, even though it was only his second fight against a world level fighter, the first being his previous fight against an even older even more shot Gamboa

    Exciting KO artist works amateur gold medalist Beterbiev and hard punching boxer puncher Olympic bronze medalist Gvozdyk earned $1.5 mill a piece for facing prime active versions of each other in an unification match up

    Even worse, then two-weight champion, 2 x Olympic gold medalist, 2 x world amateur gold medalist and amateur GOAT, and P4P#3 exciting all action Loma earned $1.5 mill max for facing a prime, active much bigger reigning champ Linares who was ranked #1 at 135, #11 P4P and hadn't lost in six years

    Sickening

    Beterbiev career moves like molasses. At 38 time is against him big time

    Post COVID it's about the same as other champions - 1 fight a year or thereabouts.

    Dienes
    Browne
    Smith
    Yarde

    Hopefully 2024 is busy for him. He should get 3 fights in if he doesn't go crazy in training and injure himself

    If they're not paid enough, they should fight more often.

    I feel sorry for Beterviev. One of the best fighters of his generation but he hasn't made the money he should have. Bivol's probably going to age him out at this point.

    Just like Usyk, he's a true old school warrior.

    Benavidez will probably fight Beterbiev before Bivol does, he's just scared

    Beterbiev would absolutely fold Benavidez along with everyone else from 168 and 175. The fight to make is him against Bivol, I hope the Saudis step up and make it. If the WBC don’t like it throw the belt, they are one of the most corrupt organisations in boxing and that’s saying something.

    After hes dealt with Smith, it has to be Bivol.

    Beterbiev and Bivol shouldn't fight each other. They both have zero losses and they're in their peak popularity.

    Career is short and fast. They should continue beating Western boxers and making lots of money. If they fight each other, one of them will lose and he will lose his money maker feature.

    Smart choice is ignoring each other.
