Why Hasn't PBC made Stevenson vs. Beterbiev?

[-Kev-]

Doesn't Beterbiev have like 9 fights only?

When you got two guys who can draw or have some appeal its not unusual for them to have both acquired titles before they fight. The absolute earliest this fight will happen is once Beterbiev has a title. The fact their under the same guy probably pushes it back a lil further down the road too like others are suggesting.

If Darnell Boone took Stevenson out, this Russian is looking more frightening than the Krusher... Won't be surprised if Stevenson drops down in weight back to super middleweight.

Yes but in those 9 fights he has taken out former champs and made it look relatively easily. This dudes future will be real interesting!

Because beterbiev hasn't had many fights and hasn't fought anyone decent

If you understood boxing you would know you don't go from bums to the lineal champ

At LHW the lineal champ fights the bums himself.

He has had exactly 9 fights.

[Mr.MojoRisin']

He has had exactly 9 fights.

He had a VERY long amateur career and beat champs like Kovalev.

Cloud is a former champ, far from elite... Campillo was a former champ as well. For fighting no one he is currently ranked in the top 10 light heavyweights. If your in the top 10 in your division your far from a bum.

obviously because beterbiev has just come onto the scene pbc just got the guy i think. its a fight that will happen no question but i dont think its a fight that has to happen next or they are ducking or something. the truth is they will probably work it until beterbiev is the mandatory challenger for kovolav and ask for a purse bid. i know kovalav and main events ducked the purse bid for stevenson but when hes actually losing his title instead of just losing his mandatory status things could change

[Cinci Champ]

pretty sure he is very close to being kovolav mandatory challenger for multiple titles. the thing is people need to quit hating on haymon when he is the one willing to enter purse bids we need to hold the other promoters feet to the fire. well see what happens but if these hbo fighters and gbp etc keep avoiding there mandatory challengers they are going to start losing there belts. once we can get all the promoters to quit ducking purse bids haymon will be a major asset to boxing fans. i think people always thought haymon would be the one to pull out of purse bids but now that hes the one entering while others pull out all sudden people defend the ones who pull out of purse bids. well see what happens but i just cant see all these hbo fighters giving up their titles if they start doing that its only matter time before haymon controls most of the belts and there for controls all of boxing
