kovalev and his future oponnents

Nah, I don't think that they would vacate. Pursue bids > network deals. HBO must give him an opportunity to fight elsewhere if the pursue bid won by the other side, I think it's highly illegal if they don't. Stevenson was another case because in that position they were the mandatory and they could back off from the opportunity but I don't think that they would vacate if a mandatory would come to them. Duva will just pull him out, they signed the deal. No way Kovalev fights on PBC. They're tryign to build up a Pascal rematch nobody cares for. They're also farming LHW opponents. They snatched Mohamedi up right after he beat another one of their guys... who they let go shortly after. I think she's saving Chilmeba just in case he can fight Stevenson I don't mind it, first fight was entertaining. But what bothers me, is Kovalev like Golovkin is being robbed of the opportunity to build a great record.

WBA will not force a mandatory fight against a Haymon controlled fighter. Do not forget that they are part of the lawsuit against Haymon and PBC. I doubt that in the current political climate, ANY sanctioning body will give a Haymon fighter a push for a mandatory fight against a non-Haymon affiliated boxer until all the court cases are resolved. First off WBO is Arum's house pet so they would and secondly WBC pushed Kovalev as Stevenson's mandatory, too bad he didn't live with the opportunity... So I think Haymon has no problem with Beterbiev or Stevenson fights Kovalev, as long as it's on PBC.

Short answer, yes. Kovalev needs to unify that WBC before he has to start vacating belts. His manager Klimas did the deal. Nah, I don't think that they would vacate. Pursue bids > network deals.

Fonfara and Beterviev are right at the top, both with Al Haymon. Main events going to make kovalev vacate after they lose the purse bids? Short answer, yes. Kovalev needs to unify that WBC before he has to start vacating belts. It will be interesting to see if Kovalev gets angry with HBO/Duva because he really likes those belts and I can only imagine he'd be quite pissed if they order him to vacate one of them. His manager Klimas did the deal.

On the flipside will Haymon put his 175s in with each other or will they all stand around demanding Kovalev sign with him? Kovalev has already beaten Hopkins and Pascal. If Beterbiev and Adonis just stand around holding hands the burden of shame is on them really.

Fonfara would last 2 rounds with Kovalev. He's not that good and his style matches up with Sergey about as bad as it gets. Beterbiev will be good but Haymon doesn't want to match him with Adonis either. You have guys like Shabranskyy coming up and others, so there will be no shortage of upcoming talent.

So he is meeting his mandatory obligations with IBF next Saturday. His promoter refused purse bid for stevenson WBC unification. Have you guys seen the WBA and WBO rankings? Fonfara and Beterviev are right at the top, both with Al Haymon. Main events going to make kovalev vacate after they lose the purse bids? Kovalev is a hbo fighter. He has a contract. He can't fight on any other network. So a purse bid is pointless unless his promoter wins it, which she wont. therefore it will be a bum, pascal 2 and Ward before he moves too cruiser weight in 2017
