    Short answer. No. Long answer. No.

      After the Kovalev fight, Andre Ward is under no further obligation to HBO, Stevenson-Ward is the biggest fight to make at 175 (bigger than a Kovalev rematch imo), and GYM and Roc Nation should be able to comfortably sit down together, maximize the revenues (venue that brings the most money, international TV rights to the highest bidder, event sponsors, PPV, etc), and split the take equitably (Stevenson/GYM keep the Canadian PPV money, Ward/RNS keep the US PPV money up to a match, with everything else being split near 50/50).

      April 2017 seems like a good time to stage the PPV to me.
      Maximize revenue? Stevenson is basically unknown at this point. It has been since Chad dawson, since he has done anything of relevance. Who remembers when Chad Dawson was still relevant? I dont... Its been that long.

        Canadian PPV is still worth a ton of money, and MGM Resorts (T-Mobile Arena, MGM Grand, and Mandalay EC) can join Bell Centre in Montreal and Barclays Center in Brooklyn as possible places to stage the fight.

        If you want to talk yourself into thinking that Stevenson isn't still crushing Kovalev in the revenue game, that's on you.

          Is that your hint telling us that you'll be fighting him next?

            Actually yes, it's a real possibility. Haymon has run out of money and is essentially telling his own talent to go find their own fights at this point. Stevenson's purses are decreasing and he has zero options at this point and Kovalev/Ward is by far the most lucrative option.

                Kovalev KO's him. Andre Ward 120-108's him. Stevenson is not at their level.

                  Good one but I'm not a Canadian hockey fan or a dildo salesman from Minneapolis.
