Comments Thread For: Kovalev's Promoter Slams Adonis Stevenson, Jabs Haymon

[MMegatron]

Stevensons just another big-mouthed idiot duck, spawned by the joke people who run this sport.

Kovalev is a real fighter, I can't see him changing managers to avoid a fighter if the situation was reversed.

I know who i'd rather watch.

Dudes read NSB and become boxing promoters/managers for their favorite fighter.

Duva is on point..Stevenson didn't want to fight Kovalev and did the one thing to make sure he didn't have to; sign with Haymon and hide over at Showtime

Showtime and Haymon won't pressure him to fight Kovalev.

here is what i think is Peterson plan

1 fight fonfara make the most money possible with the network that is ready the pay the most $$$

2 make 2 millz fighting Hopkins in montreal in what is gonna be a huge fight for quebecers coz they know Hopkins and absolutely adore Hopkins over here in montreal

3 fight Kovalev if hbo is ready to put huge $$$ on the line i mean like 2.5 maybe 3 millz with a possibility of a rematch

4 then fight pascal in mtl in whatz gonna be another huge fight in mtl where he easily makes 2 3 millz

that is the planand i agree with him 100% the guy is old and has to make sure his later days are secure. sometimes fans need to understand this is what this guys do for living. you **** up u be broke the rest of your life. no fan is gonna send you a paycheck to pay your morgage

9 out of 10 would pay to see Kovalev vs Stevenson, rather than Stevenson vs Hopkins. The latter bout would be boring as hell and only a few ppl would pay to see two black guys fighting. (look whom floyd picks all the time)
On the other hand, it's quite obvious that Stevenson is ducking Kovalev

stevenson wanna fight Hopkins. he's been saying that for years and people dont wanna listen. that is his dreamfight. Hopkins is huge in canada i know coz i live there. he is perceive as a legend like some type of wizard and he really captivated the mind of canadians specially quebecers. stevenson doesnt care about fighting Kovalev unless he get vastly overpaid for it. he can easily make 1,5 or 2 millz fighting Hopkins here.
am i a fan of the situation ? no coz i want him to fight Kovalev but do i understand whatz going on yes ! every boxer has a dream fight and for Stevenson it is the legendary bernard Hopkins unfortunately for us. maybe he might fight Kovalev after that but hbo is gonna have to overpay him

The moment haymon got involved I knew this fight wasn't happening. It's days like these that make it tough to be a boxing fan.

Al Haymon is a cancer on this sport. He makes Arum seem almost saintly.

It was HBO that rejected Hopkins Stevenson.And HBO rejected Stevenson/FonFara because of Haymon's involvement.So its HBO that's helping to drive Stevenson to Showtime,which is good because we may get to see a unification bout of all 3 major titles.Kovalev can keep that semi-major paper title the WBO that he won from a bum-instead of fighting Hopkins for a real title.

This was in the summer time after GBP/HBO split....

Showtime rejected Kovalev-Hopkins before HBO rejected Stevenson-Hopkins.



Sorry bro. That's just the way it is. Look it up
