Stevenson-Kovalev in jeopardy

[VG_Addict]

How's Kovalev going to react when he hears this? He's going to be LIVID.

[ShoulderRoll]

Even Dan Rafael is telling HBO to fork over the money. Why are they being such tightwads?

Its not like they don't have more viewers and more money than Showtime.

I would love to see Kovalev vs Stevenson, but I'm not going to act like a kid who doesn't understand rhyme and reason if I don't get my way. What is me *****ing about it on an internet forum going to do about this fight not getting made? I don't mean to disrespect you, as a fight fan everyone wants the best fights. But when you get to throwing around the ducker claims, calling professional fighters cowards and all this other bull**** it just turns into a celebrity gossip forum. Why can't these grown men understand what the situation is and approach it accordingly? Adonis wants money, HBO wants the fight. Showtime has given him an offer, HBO needs to present one that shows him a solid figure for his upcoming bout and a healthy number for Sergey. Simple. All this Al Haymon slander and Stevenson slander for what?

I feel ya man. I don't think its Adonis ducking kovalev from fear I think financial aspects are getting in the way when it comes to the fight. Which I don't understand every main boxing site was reporting a couple months ago how Adonis signed a 3 fight deal with hbo. I'm sure will get more details soon.

This is such bull sh!!. Didn't Adonis have a 3 fight deal with hbo?? So now chances are we don't get kovalev vs Adonis. Damn haymon has power in the sport. Showtime is prolly giving a boatload for the Adonis fight in May and hbo don't want to match it unless they get a guarantee on the kovalev fight. Which there not getting. Be nice if Richard and Haymon repaired there relationship with hbo. Either way you look at it taking away big fighters from the number 1premium network isn't a good thing for the sport. I could eventually see hbo pulling away from the sport seeing as they don't need boxing. Sucks because the way hbo presents a fight is truly great.

He does. But the way these contracts usually work is there is a clause that if HBO refuses he can seek alternative bidders. That's probably the case here. HBO probably has a certain period of time to match Showtime's offer and if they can't match it, he is free to take the higher bid.

floyd fans aka the ducking defenders of justice never seem to look at all the evidence. stevenson wasn't bit-ching about purses when fighting dawson, cloud, or bellew. now that people want him to fight kovalev he just can't fight unless you give him a sh-it ton of money? this is called hypocrisy. i think i figured out floyd fans think hypocrisy is a good thing. contradicting yourself and making it look like you are a ducking fool is so hot right now!

floyd fans are like climate change deniers. they ignore the millions of pieces of data that prove climate change is real and find 1 piece of data that says otherwise and then they say "see, look at this. i am right."

sort of like how random testing is all of a sudden good for the sport, goodbye. LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOO

Dont care about how much they get paid but i find it funny how NSB posters really believe they wouldnt take the higher pay. There are threads were posters complain about paying $70 for PPV but are mad at Stevenson for not taking less money.

I'm puzzled about that as well, but I have no problem with his reasoning. As you said, the story's still developing.

J The "Unbiased" is mad that he picked Stevenson to beat Kovalev only to find out the dude is ducking.
