HBO just slayed Adonis Stevenson!!!

fact remains they all fought each other and the odd man out is Stevenson. It's clear who the problem is. spare me all your made up numbers. You're not an insider. FOH phaggot. The information was all over this site, and other sites, during the build up to each showdown; only difference is that Kathy Duva was so desperate for the opportunity that she would've had Kovalev fight for free. Main Events gave Hopkins 75/25 to fight Kovalev, gave Pascal 45/55 for a voluntary title defense, and Main Events ran for the hills once it started to look like Haymon was going to pay her fighter significantly more than said fighter was going to get from HBO. When faced with a simple stating of the facts, yet without a single actual retort to make, simple minded people resorted to trying to slur people; only mistake is that the choice of slur seems to always point to some shiestiness going on in the life of the person trying to make the slur. lol

Hopkins was apparently looking for 70/30 on the money, Pascal wanted beyond 50/50 for a fight that he was only mandated to get 25/75, and Kovalev and his camp walked away from a 50/50 split of the take, for fear of offending "the almighty HBO". gtfoh fact remains they all fought each other and the odd man out is Stevenson.

Boxing fans are such puss*es these days and actually support that kind of shyt. Instead of hoping HBO would try to push this fight closer to happening they celebrate a dismissal of a potential fight. spot on.............now we have network fans

Idek if all that matters, except to you & probably some others on a personal level. Viral moments are viral moments. And maybe if the public interest got strong enough the fight could happen who knows. The thing to me with this fight was no one gave enough f#cks to make this fight happen to start with. HBO, the fans, Duva, Haymon/GYM, no one wanted the fight THAT much to take the proper measures to insure it did happen. If anything some random viral moment can only have a positive effect on getting all parties on board with making this fight if the interest grew. I've been saying from the start it seems unlikely for June doe. I think its a bad move for HBO to risk Kov's undefeated record vs a non-HBO guy when they got another undefeated HBO guy lined up for the 2nd half of the year. If Stevenson vs Kovalev happens it won't be til 2017. I think its reasonable to think that HBO sees more value in two undefeated HBO P4P contenders fighting each other than anything else on the table for either guy. Only issue with that is that, in almost deja vu of the Kovalev-Stevenson intial scenario, HBO is facing a situation where, if Andre Ward delivers how folks expect, Kovalev gets knocked off, Ward owes no other fights to HBO, and all of the possible meaningful matchups for Ward are outside of HBO (I don't think the Haymon/Jay Z beef is so deep that an understanding can't be reach with a sitdown, especially now with Roc Nation Sports having already established itself under its own efforts). Just like seeing Gamboa-JuanMa spoil on the vine, HBO is likely see this fight spoil as well.

Yes. They all dismissed him like he was nothing LOL. Fckin LOL @ superpimp and his pimp buddies bumrushing the ring. :lol1: There were more Gators in that ring last night than in Florida!

He also punked off pascal who tried to give him props on the fight lol. I honestly don't understand the people who are upset with HBO for dismissing him and not pushing for the fight. Stevenson had a chance to fight Hopkins, Kovalev, pascal, and fought none of them. The guy is a joke and his words mean nothing. Hopkins was apparently looking for 70/30 on the money, Pascal wanted beyond 50/50 for a fight that he was only mandated to get 25/75, and Kovalev and his camp walked away from a 50/50 split of the take, for fear of offending "the almighty HBO". gtfoh

It's not just HBO that have bad mouthed Stevenson, even Pascal admitted to attempting to make a fight with him a few times and called him some choice names including aduckin Chickenson. Pascal beat Stevenson twice in the ammys (not that it matters in the pros) but he cited that as the reason Stevenson wanted no part of him. Not sure here if Stevenson will fight Alvarez or even a re with Fonfara. A person can only run with "I'm the real champ" for so long.

:rofl: Did you listen to the Showtime team after Jacobs beat Quillin and how they tried to belittle GGG? The only one that kept it real was Bernstein by saying Quillin is an Andy Murray level fighter. Hate on HBO all you want, but Showtime does the same exact crap. If what happened last night was on Showtime, I'd be willing to bet their crew would've spun that as Kovalev ducking. you are exactly right. And all the Haymon sack lickers on this board wouldnt say sh*t about it.....

It's not realistic why should they push for it? Adonis is PBC enough said. Is he? He's begging and willing to suck dick for Showtime to be involved with the PPV despite not having fought on the network in his last few fights.

1 umbrella! In the mean time im ok with Stevenson/Alvarez and Kov/Ward. Though it feels like Kov/Ward wont happen for awhile but hoping im wrong

Stevenson was in attendance. The powers to be won't let this fight happen because who ever loses will be the financial loss for what ever promotional/network company. Stevenson has to fight somebody of note in his next fight. There are some great match ups that can be done at 175

You would never hear the Showtime crew acting so amateurish. :rofl: Did you listen to the Showtime team after Jacobs beat Quillin and how they tried to belittle GGG?

Well, HBO is really pushing for Kovalev vs Ward as the big money fight. They're basically just saying f*ck Stevenson, he had his chance and went the other way.

...and they wonder why this sport is dead in this country. Imagine ESPN downplaying Panthers-Broncos because the Broncos are signed with NBC. :lol1: :lol1: This is such a sh*t sport. Lol yep....

Both sides are too blame

Bunch of fvcking fan boys and cheerleaders on this site. Wake the fvck up 1. Stevenson ducked the fight and hid behind Haymon. Yes. But that was 2 years ago. 2. The WBC mandated the fight, scheduled a purse bid, but Kovalev's rinky dink pay-less promoter wanted no parts of it so they squashed it. Both sides are to blame. But you idiots either take one side because stanning is all you know how to do or you just have the "HBO way or the highway" mentality which is bull****. Fvck HBO, fvck Chickenson and fvck you. If you drivin round town with the fighter-promoter-network I love, I'm like fvck you and fvck them too

For real a simple purse bid would have worked. It's kovalevs promoters fault. You think hbo would give a **** if he beat stevensen on showtime or pbv then came back more popular for a ppv on Hbo against ward? I think it's funny people blame stevensen at this point. Before it was his fault but now he's trying to cash out Yeah I'm sure they wouldn't mind one of the faces of their boxing program to go to showtime to fight in one of the biggest fights in boxing right now....instead of having it on their own network... Where do you people come from?
