Can't shake the thought from my head that Sergey would get "treated better" if he went with someone like Ryabinsky... or even Arum (which I never thought I'd say). Do you think he should remain with Main Events? Or should he look to find better treatment elsewhere?
With Wald almost retiring I think Sauerland sould snap him up. He'd sell out German crowds and can pay him well with no BS in between his fights. This TV station, VADA, corrupt officials, £_£ seeking trainers he needs a fresh start.
This is likely to be true. As soon as that contract is up, he definitely needs to leave Duva... unless she gets him a much better deal to re-sign with that promotion.
He brings far less to the table now than before. Older, two defeats, no real star power as far as ability to ever sell PPVs, etc. The HBO deal could cut both ways (or it may coincide with his deal with Duva, probably so) - a lower-level promoter could say, "Hey, with this guy I get a couple HBO dates per year and maybe I can showcase another of my fighters," or it could be someone like K2 or Ryabinsky would say "No way, that keeps me from making the fights I want to make in Europe."
