Stevenson is literally becoming irrelevant despite his "lineal" status. You can only play this game if you're a Floyd Mayweather superstar type.
Now, he can enjoy 2 more years tops of Title defenses (he is almost 40 isn't he) before somebody knocks his block off. The guy with the three belts has taken your 'recognized champion' status by default.

So in other words you don't want the fight. I mean hell at this point EVERYONE on this board knows that HBO will not allow their fighter to go fight on Showtime/CBS/ESPN. You as a business person wouldn't either. One man has ties to a network the other does not. It's not rocket science. Kovalev can't tell HBO no let me have this fight where ever it happens. He ain't Pacquaio.

Does it really matter? Most people believe Kovalev is the better fighter and is the man of the division. It isn't on Kovalev to make this fight, it's on Stevensons team. Until Stevenson steps up the plate he will never get the same amount of attention as Kovalev.

Bet he would have made way more for Kovalev, since the network license fee is just a fraction of what these Canadians make, see Lemieux NDam or even Kovalev Pascal.
