    And Larry why is it ALWAYS business first with you?

    The best should fight the best in their respective weight class; what has changed?

    I understand boxing is a business; but it's also a SPORT

        OP supports a fighter who (quoting his former best friend) "walked away from 100 million, just left it there on the table" and wants to talk about business sense. Where was the sense in that?

        Anyway, Kovalev payday > Fonfara payday - no business sense in that either.

        You can argue a Hopkins payday is bigger but it's highly debatable as Kovalev-Stevenson was the most anticipated fight of the year.

        Guess health came first for Adonis.

          HBO want the Kovalev fight which he could make now.

          I'm sure it'd pay more money than whatever bum he's going to fight on Showtime.

          So yeah, great business sense.

            I wonder how their budget is, because they're putting on a couple of triple headers by then.

            Stevenson said he wants a ton of money.... Showtime beat out what HBO was offering. So either it wasn't that much, or they want to go balls deep to get him.

            As for Kovalev, I feel like a payday would've been easier to negotiate....well, seeing as they already had one in place.

            Hopkins wants money too, so I think he'll be wanting more than Kovalev wouldn't wanted. Hope they're not planning a PPV so both men get paid.... the last one ended horribly

                did you even read the article larry? HBO want to do stevenson/fonfara if stevenson agreed to fight kovalev after, but there is no assurance and they ask for a significant amount increase for the fonfara fight.
