Sergey Kovalev never missed a momemt to make his audience believe he wants to unify all 4 major belts, but it seems like Duva & Klimas didn't find any opponent to persuade top Russia promoter Ryabinsky, thus Adonis Stevenson is still the WBC champion, still available and almost 40, not to mention Al Haymon recently loss Wilder's purse bid to Andrei Ryabinsky.
Kathy Duva:
The shame of this is that if the purse bid had happened when it was supposed to, we would be in a position to bid.”
“But sadly, they pushed it and that’s too bad because I really needed to come here with Sergey, take the time to make the meetings we had, to talk to the people we have talked to,” explained Duva. “We have met with some people who can buy and sell Al Haymon 15 times. We can certainly bring a fight to Russia now. I feel we could do it but we couldn’t do it .”

Kathy Duva already rejected the 3 last WBC purse bid, rejected the joint PPV idea; but clearly specified since August 2015 if the Kovalev/Stevenson fight is held in Russia, they will be in a position to bid. Not to mention Kovalev still hold that WBC Diamond belt.
Thus according to her words, now is it not the right time to bid?
You haven't seen this persons history I assume. All this person talks about is Stevenson vs Kovalev & obviously is strongly on the Adonis side. I think this might be a girlfriend or something.
Outside of Spoon I don't think there is anyone as obsessed about one specific topic & only one angle within that topic like this person.hahahaha no i didn't know the history. i thought you were saying that kovalev fighting in russia is the same as him fighting stevenson on say nbc or showtime. i gotchu
he isn't stepping out of his hbo contract.
as of right now the fight wont be televised at all in America.
duva is trying to make it work so that hbo can televise it.
so in other words, he will fight on hbo or not on American tv at all.
see the difference?
There's no HBO this time, it's Russia, it's a Monday afternoon (GMT-3 to GMT-8). The evidence is, you'll be able to watch it for free on generalist public tv, LIVE from Channel One online on http://www.1tv.ru/
The issue is related with the term (((EXCLUSIVE))) of this HBO contract. As we notice, if no penny is invested by HBO, Kovalev can fight on any other platforms where ever the place is. Which simply means the contract was never exclusive, it was a Kathy-Kovalev-Klimas lie...
I'm not here to burst fans bubbles, but why would they bring this motive up Stevenson's face, when in fact it was just another lie, Humm ?
stevenson has done nothing to earn a shot at kovalev.
he was offered the fight when they were still new unsure things.
nearing retirement age, stevenson is still a new unsure thing. kovalev is the p4p #1 fighter inthe world.
back of the line for the child molester.
I'm sorry for your molested childhood in australia, don't repeat what they did to you. Just accept the fact you were not born this way, Remember...

*Good timing to step out of this box...

Humm! Come on Eff, it was written in the sky. Fans realised it, but they just can't accept how naive they were, and how naive they still are. Most people consciously accept to be lied, even if the subconscious is well aware of the truth.
Small example from Panda:
Oh **** that Stevenson vs Kovalev obsessed guy is gonna blow a gasket & make like a dozen threads if this fight isn't on HBO with their "exclusive" agreement with Kov lol.
Do you acknowledge how right you were about this Fact; impressive.

Lack of regulation has put this forum in the damn toilet. Every thread has a hateful agenda and 99% don't make sense or involve extremely biased false equivalent comparisons...almost all of the threads today were Golovkin hate threads that were pointless and should have been deleted immediately. Where is the reasonable discussion?
A better question would be .. why did Stevenson insist that a fight between he and Kovalev had to be screened on Showtime, when he doesn't have a contract with Showtime and is free to fight on any network he wants?
Because Duva was apparently talking about the two fighters splitting at least $10m, though only willing to guarantee both fighters a combined $3m, and no one in their right mind believes that fight could deliver that on just HBO (insisting that the fight not be at the Bell Centre in Montreal, while talking up hypothetical fight locations in Vegas or New York (venues where neither fighter has shown any drawing ability), didn't help the number's projections either).
Put the location of the fight wherever things would sell the best, and having both networks leveraging their audiences to juice the fight, would've given them a pretty good shot at getting to Duva's faulty projection.
If Duva really did believe what she was projecting, she would've guaranteed Stevenson $3m for the fight (with Stevenson's camp getting in on the upide when the event netted over $7m) and just staged the fight.

i don't get it. he didn't step out of his contract. he isn't fighting on fox or showtime he is fighting in russia and hbo is exploring ways to televise it. hbo only has a budget for two of his fights and this is a way to add a third just like ggg fighting in Monte Carlo. not sure how someone says he stepping out
