Definition of a bloodbath fight
No punches will be slipped in this fight.
Why Kathy Duva always tight with the money? I understand Main Events isn't a big promotion company but you can't shell out a cool mil?

I don't know what the typical market value @ Light Heavy is for a completely unknown fighter with no fanbase and 9 fights going against a guy that holds 3 of the 4 "major" titles in the division is...but i'm gonna go out on a limb and say 500k is a more than reasonable offer.
Beterbiev is under Haymon right? Is he going the "title eliminator" route so he can force and win a purse bid, giving them rights to host the fight on a network of their choosing...knowing Duva has Kovalev tied down with HBO and they would be in breach of their contract fighting on another network...thereby making him drop the title right into Beterbiev's hands?

Team Beterbiev's Response To Kovalev's Promoter
By Rick Reeno
In an earlier story on BoxingScene.com, promoter Kathy Duva of Main Events expressed her disappointment in an email that was written to fellow promoter Yvon Michel - regarding Artur Beterbiev's decision to take a pass on her offer for a November 28th showdown with IBF/WBO/WBA light heavyweight champion Sergey Kovalev in Moscow, Russia.
As BoxingScene reported, Michel's fighter was ordered to face Bernard Hopkins in a final IBF eliminator. It's still up in the air on whether or not Hopkins will actually accept this fight, but he has until Thursday and Beterbiev's team have decided to have one more fight prior to facing Kovalev (28-0-1, 25KOs).
Duva was not pleased with the decision made by Beterbiev (9-0, 9 KOs), and she detailed her feelings and position in a letter to Michel. BoxingScene obtained the letter and posted it earlier.
You told the media that Beterbiev would take this fight if our offer was fair, which it clearly was. Sergey and I are quite disappointed that you have turned it down without even making a counter-offer. Sergey was in a similar position in 2013: After he won an eliminator to face Bernard Hopkins for the IBF title, he was offered a fight against Nathan Cleverly for the WBO championship immediately. Though a Hopkins fight would have been more lucrative, Sergey would have had to wait for months, during which anything could happen. Without a moment’s hesitation Sergey chose to take the immediate, guaranteed title shot in his opponent’s backyard.
Of course, Sergey went on to fight Hopkins and unify three light heavyweight belts in a major promotion. As you, yourself, said to a reporter last week, when you get your first title shot, you take it. You say that you want to bury the hatchet [over the ill-fated Kovalev-Adonis Stevenson negotiations, purse bid, etc.], but actions speak louder than words. It seems that you would rather posture and look for purse bids rather than actually make a fight. I hope that I am wrong and you will prove it by at least attempting to negotiate a fight, whether it be for Kovalev to fight Stevenson or Beterbiev. After all, Sergey is the only one contractually bound to a TV network [HBO] and you have never once made an offer to me to make either of these fights that the fans so want to see.
In the meantime, we will continue to make fights for Sergey against the best fighters who are actually willing to face him. As his star continues to rise, the terms I have offered to you for Beterbiev and Stevenson will not be open for long.
BoxingScene has since obtained Michel's written response to Duva, where he explained his Team Beterbiev's position on the matter.
Good evening Kathy,
First I wish to thank you again for your offer regarding Beterbiev and the opportunity to fight against Sergey Kovalev in Moscow on November 28. I believe it was a move in the right direction and you have made a honest offer considering the potential resources.
I am confirming to you again the intention for Beterbiev to box against your champion in the very near future.
After our meeting with Artur Beterbiev and his trainer today we have decided it would be best, for the moment, to go into the direction offered yesterday by the IBF and have Artur to fight for the IBF mandatory position.
So right after I send you this message I will write to the IBF that we have accepted to fight for the title eliminatory against Bernard Hopkins.
Please be sure this decision has nothing to do with our past relationship together. You have proposed to buried the hatchet and we have agreed with you. We wish to continued an open dialog because there are great fights, between boxers of our 2 organizations, to be made for the benefit of all involved.
Once Beterbiev is having one more fight and becomes the mandatory we would be open to do an immediate fight with the champion in early in 2016. At that moment we are convinced the potential revenues will be much more important then what you can get in November.
Main time we will still try to be creative and find a way, with you, to get Adonis Stevenson and others light heavyweight under our both control, into the mix.
I hope this message find you well,
All the best
Yvon

2 scenarios:
1. Beterbiev wins title eliminator, goes to purse bid, Duva says "Fine", we got a fight.
2. Beterbiev wins title eliminator, goes to purse bid, Duva says "fukk You", Kov drops IBF title, then Beterbiev's next fight would be for vacant IBF title and gets it without fighting Kovalev for it.
Im gonna go with Scenario 2
1. Beterbiev wins title eliminator, goes to purse bid, Duva says "Fine", we got a fight.
2. Beterbiev wins title eliminator, goes to purse bid, Duva says "fukk You", Kov drops IBF title, then Beterbiev's next fight would be for vacant IBF title and gets it without fighting Kovalev for it.
Im gonna go with Scenario 2
LeVraiPapi
Redemption is Coming
It's a chess move and Duva won't like the move because they will ask for more money and the purse bid will be bought by you know who 
Yep definitely is Haymon''s plan2 scenarios:
1. Beterbiev wins title eliminator, goes to purse bid, Duva says "Fine", we got a fight.
2. Beterbiev wins title eliminator, goes to purse bid, Duva says "fukk You", Kov drops IBF title, then Beterbiev's next fight would be for vacant IBF title and gets it without fighting Kovalev for it.
