Comments Thread For: Duva: Stevenson Obviously 'Scared To Death' Of Kovalev

[boxingfeind]

Because Hbo wanted Stevenson to agree to sign a 2 fight contract that included kovalev as one of his opponents., and Stevenson didn't sign having initially agreed 2 months Ago. Al haymon offered a way out to not fight kovalev and he took it.

Please educate yourself before you spew out diatribe.

There`s 2 sides to every story.

Why waste money if there's no guarantee?

Exactly. Stevenson would have taken the money then jumped ship. He just did it! He beat Dawson, fights double header with kovalev on the card. You think hbo are fork out the money to do that without having the intention with reasonable financial backing to put together the fight.

Hopkins can lose to shumenov...what's he gonna do then.

So...

You have no interest in a Kovalev vs Stevenson fight? All of a sudden people watch a sport to not see the best fight but to be more understanding of there financial security. Ridiculous!!

Duve should have seen it coming back then:

[boxingfeind]

Clearly she has SK in a slave contract to HBO where she got a little money from the deal and trying to tarnish AS name because she is butt hurt. AS resume is much stronger, and you can never fault a man for being about his finances since there is no union, retirement, long term med etc. The only people Kovalev beat are Sillakh who is Amir Khan at 175 and Cleverly who lost to Bellew which AS crushed.

Also there`s 2 sides to every story,i want to hear Stevensons side of the story of the contract before i jump to conclusions.

What the hell are you talking about? I just read her quote and she said she reached a deal with AD's promoter. So you go back and learn how to comprehend English.

If we talking Business sense for Stevenson going to Showtime for more money than HBO, then same could be for HBO. HBO don't want to waste money if he doesn't guarantee his next fight is with Kovalev. Why sink all that money in for nothing?

[MC Hammer]

No he's not

He simply chose the more lucrative option in Fonfara over Kovalev.......Oh wait

He was fighting fonfara regardless, now he's getting more money to do so, and a more lucrative fight with bhop

[Nomadic]

Stevenson made it quite clear already that he is all about money, it's not what the fans want. So get ready for the chicken cherry picking.

No money would've been spent with out a guarantee. They could've matched the fonfara offer and got up the money a kovlev fight
