i know but when kkov did it nobody wants to criticize him but me when i feel like trollin.

money is more important which is why i don't know why he with stayed kathy who takes 50% of his purse after taxes

Maybee it is loyalty. A lot of these fighter's stay loyal to promoter's, often against their better judgment. Sometimes it works out. Duva is always quick to tell the story of how Kovalev tried to get a promoter and fights in the US and she was the only one that would take him on. It seems tougher for a lot of these Europeans to get a foothold in the US and get consistent fights. Also when they do get into the US they seem to be older as well having spent a lot of time trying to build themselves up in Europe with European promoter's.
Maybe he did it off the fact she got him US fights and an HBO contract.

According to sources with knowledge of the details, WBC cruiserweight champion Grigory Drozd (40-1, 28 KOs) and WBC mandatory challenger Ilunga Makabu (19-1, 18 KOs) have agreed to the terms for a proposed showdown, which will take place in Russia. No dates or venues have been named, and no official information is available. Press officers for the “World of Boxing” promotional company, who handle Drozd, have yet to give comment on the rumor.

Drozd, 35 and ranked at #4 by TBRB, has been on a roll recently. He acquired his green belt with a convincing decision over Krzystzof Wlodarczyk in September of 2014, then defended it with a dominant TKO of Wlodarczyk’s teammate Lukasz Janik in May.

RSA-based Congolese Makabu is also running very smoothly as of late. He is 5-0, 5 KOs, since his only decision win (over Dmytro Kucher in 2013), which includes TKO over famed veteran Glen Johnson and come-from-behind stoppage win against Thabiso Mchunu in the WBC cruiserweight final eliminator. Makabu is ranked #10 by the TBRB (also #4 by the WBA and #6 by the WBO).

i know but his pockets will be lacking cause he cant make tough business decisions with no emotions attached.

Floyd doing Super Bowl numbers if he fights on CBS in primetime

i thought this was his last showtime ppv and theyd save pbc for number 50.. stephen espinosa keeps losing if true

Floyd doing Super Bit, ewl numbers if he fights on CBS in primetime

Him fighting berto or karim would make sense not being ppv.

 

[mr. smoke weed]

why?

newzz is the one saying he would ko both donis/kkkov in 2 secs.

Footwork ain't good enough yet. Don't know what his chin is like, although I saw him eat straight rights like skooby snacks and keep on. Adonis would make him pay for coming in like that.

I also remember hearing a story that Kovalev left the Russian amateur team because they wanted to promote Beterbiev and Korobov more. Anyone confirm that?

I dont have a problem with Kovalev signing an exclusive contract with HBO. Being a HBO top promoted fighter has been the best option for being in front of max audiences, good purses, and great publicity.
Haymon may change that, but it hasnt happened yet. Some guys are their own stars (Mayweather, Pacquiao), but most fighters need to be built into a star and HBO has been the best IMO.

Nah they fukked KKKov with 500k (which he only ended up with $125,000 of) against B hop, that's bullshyt.
