    One deserves it, the other got it because he's PR.

    Berlanga is probably the most babied fighter today. I don’t get why they’re hyping him up so much, the man was already exposed and is boring to watch.

    Berlanga is done. 4 decisions in a row. Coceres made him look very bad.

    Bivol is so good and he makes 500k when he's not fighting Red. It gets me down because you just know there is no way for them to make the Beterbiev fight because **** fighting Bivol for 500k and **** fighting Beterbiev for 500k.

    Maybe Rosado could be an option? Especially since he didn't have to fight overweight Zurdo.

    But even then, with all the miles Rosado has on him, I would probably be hesitant if i was Hearn because Rosado could very well pull an upset

    Where did you see that? If Bivol has to box Canelo in September, I can't see him fighting in June.

    He'd get good money for Beterbiev over a million but Hearn's ego would be in the way and he probably knows he'd be worn down and battered vs. Beterbiev.

    Not even sure that's an upset against Berlanga. Rosado looks pretty consistently dangerous at 168. He looks old and done at 160 and 175, but 168 he still shows life.

    Weird how small differences in weight make sure a huge difference in performance.

    Would he? Maybe the fight would happen then, because that's more than double the standard purse, but I don't know where they would get that kind of money for that fight. Beterbiev-Yarde generated less than a million for the fighters between them and i'm not sure why Beterbiev-Bivol would generate more than that here. I'm not sure Beterbiev would be up for fighting in Russia, frankly, but even if they did, the last time Bivol fought another Russian there he got paid the usual 500k.

    It's for all 4 belts so you'd think so, don't know where you're getting you're figures from on the Yarde Beterbiev fight but matchroom just offered Bivol £1.25 million to Buatsi to fight Bivol so he must be doing better than £500k a fight.

    Pascal had moments of success, Joe Smith Jr had Bivol rocked badly just think Beterbiev would go one step further and regularly hurt him even on the guard and get to him late but we'll see.

    By they you mean Matchroom? Berlanga has potential casual fan appeal. He also has some talent and most importantly, he is Puerto Rican.
    Exposed or not, he isn´t a bad boxer. Managed to beat Coceres and it was not an easy fight, it was a big step up in class.

    Coceres also made BJJ look bad.
