HBO turned down Stevens/N'Dam for Kovalev undercard?

[Hougigo]

hey whats good and i lost your number when i lost my phone but hit me up at 678-554-5428

because mayfield and durlome both could have a future. stevens and ndam are guys who have no future

lol, wtf is that?

Anyway, they're really looking to get KOvalev some more TV exposure. They're gonna probably PPV KOvalev/Stevenson.

Am i missing something, but this is not that big of a fight at all. Maybe in Canada but not in the US

Canadian PPV maybe? But I thought most their big events were PPV anyway. I think Stevenosn/Dawson was like a 50 buck PPV

Yea, not stateside, but I bet you they'll try to get some of that Canadian guap.

Sure thing, I'll call you

IMO, that's what they're gonna do. If Candadians feel the same way about Stevenson as Stevenson does about himself... probably gonna happen

this would have been a entertaining fight ...THE REASON hbo turn it down in my opinion is because curtis stevens wants quillen .. he has been chasing that fight lately .... hbo will not pay for curtis then 6 months later go to showtime to fight quillen in a big new york fight ... hbo will have to tie stevens up but really i dont think they will want to do that

Probably too much money. Stevens-NDam is easily in the 6-digit range. The budget for Kovalev vs the unknown is probably low to begin with and HBO doesn't think the card as a whole will do big viewership numbers.

They should have agreed to show that fight.

Curtis Stevens is much more entertaining than their $2,000,000 per fight Andre "clinch 'n head butt" Ward.

I like you as a poster but why did you had to go ahead and say this?

I know I am not reading this from a Wladimir Klitschko fan? After the pathetic Wlad-Povetkin fight, you should not speak on any fighter clinching. First make a thread about how much you hated Wlad-Povetkin then you can criticize all other clinchers.

If not then, he'll be back April 4th.... Quillin will either be back late April or early May

I agree with this unpopular decision.

What is in it for HBO? Stevens has already been fed to GGG, and he isn't getting the Martinez-Cotto winner. N'Dam has been obliterated by Quillin. It's an entertaining fight, sure, but HBO gets ZERO benefit moving forward.
