For a 3rd attempt, who's really ducking this WBC purse bid, HBO Kovalev or Kathy Duva

http://www.pix-host.com/allimages/28948692.jpg Duva states, I’ve been sending notes to WBC President Mauricio Sulaiman and I told him, ‘Listen, we will fight Stevenson in June. I will make a deal with Yvon right now." The condition being Sergey wins in January, we’ll fight Stevenson in the spring and we can do it on pay-per-view with HBO. My only problem: We both agreed that 50/50’s fair and I told him, if necessary, we’ll go to Canada and that the only issue here is that who distributes it. “Sergey has a multi-fight deal with HBO. He cannot fight anywhere else.” Michel responded, “We understand they have a contract with HBO, Adonis has fought for Showtime and platforms and, for the moment, we don’t feel it’s fair for the network that has supported Adonis since the last four, five fights to not be in the race, , for the possibility of doing the biggest fight in that division. Duva responded, “Big fights so rarely get made with purse bid and there’s a reason why: They’re far too big and complicated.” But perhaps this is out of Stevenson’s hands. Maybe he really has no say in this. For the time being, the PBC universe simply doesn’t intersect with the rest of the boxing cosmos. Again, said Duva, “if Kovalev fights Ward at the end of next year, which is starting to look like it’s very possible, who’s going to remember Adonis Stevenson after that? Who’s gonna care? What are they gonna say? Sergey’s ducking Stevenson by fighting Andre Ward? If the reporters and the people who follow this stuff on Twitter are going to be dumb enough to buy this, let them. by Steve Kim | Oct 20, 2015
