Comments Thread For: Stevenson's Promoter on Leaving HBO For Showtime

[bigcursedawg]

****ting in the pants is called business decision nowadays ?

Only by people who don't know how to spot a duck.

Quack, quack.

[TheBestSport]

Whoa that is such a ***** move. Pure business, yeah in the business of keeping Adonis Stevenson alive, i.e to keep as far away from Kovalev as possible.

[ShoulderRoll]

HBO had the chance to match the offer but they didn't.

Business is business.

[MAXIMUS~RICO~13]

This is pure **** !!!! A fight all fans want to see (Stevenson vs kovalev) and now might never happen !!!

[Hougigo]

If this is just a one fight deal, still a possibility for Kovalev.

HBO still open to that, and if Showtime doesn't give Stevenson the money he wants and HBO is willing for Kovalev (who I think would take a bigger cut compared to Hopkins) then it could still be made.
Get into the multi-deal stage, then naw

[rey guey]

the moment stevenson signed with haymon the kovalev fight was over

[Canelo Phresh]

Damn Kovalev scared the ish out of Adonis. He jumped networks to keep away from that murderer.

[Cinci Champ]

Man the immaturity of the networks and the promoters are really ruining boxing.

I was looking forward to a Kovalev vs Stevenson fight

why is kovalev tied to hbo his deal cant be to long hes not top rank no reason the fight still cant happen

[LouIE G]

Hopkins vs stevenson is a better fight then stevenson vs kovalov to me.....gbp make it happen!!

This cold war BS is a perfect MBA case study of bad negotiations and how NOT to do business.

Adonis / Hopkins On Showtime PPV. Damn that sounds sorry.
