    That was in the summer... break up happened around then.

      Nah... One of them should have been with Kovalev... No way.

        Never had any interest in this fight, anyway. Much more interested in Stevenson's finances. Boxing is a business, after all.

          All Haymon fighters are going to make the move over to Showtime. I don't care if they fought on HBO once or twice under Haymon, that fact still stands.

            hbo can't force someone to fight. they tried to make the fight but stevenson didn't want any part of kovalev. so then they decided to give stevenson another fight in the hopes that he would come around and fight kovalev afterward. it was either that or just let him go straight away which would result in a 0 percent chance of the fight happening. also since when is hopkins a big draw? he made 750k against cloud.

              Oh right, Mitchel fight was on Showtime. Yeah, Stiverne fight was made before the break up.

                This. And I doubt Stevenson ever seriously considered fighting Kovalev.

                    Wow daguum you've opened my eyes. I was doubting myself because Flo mos were defending Stevenson.

                    This is a clear duck. It's irrefutable. It's so clear Ray Charles could see it.

                    StevenSon took advantage of underage girls, now he's trying to go after a pensioner. I hope bhop knocks him out.

                      Yes, sure... And in this case what kind of money are you talking about? 1.5 million?
