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

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

NEW YORK — Clearly tired of discussing Adonis Stevenson, Sergey Kovalev declined comment regarding their ill-fated fight Tuesday during an informal news conference at a Manhattan restaurant for his fight Saturday night against Cedric Agnew.

It still was all everyone else in the room could talk about.

Promoter Kathy Duva – whose New Jersey-based company, Main Events, represents Kovalev – said Stevenson “is scared to death” and provided details of how Stevenson backed out of a multi-fight agreement with HBO that would’ve included a Stevenson-Kovalev light heavyweight unification clash sometime in the fall. An HBO Sports spokesman also confirmed the network ceased negotiations with Stevenson’s handlers Tuesday afternoon and passed on broadcasting Stevenson’s May 24 fight against Chicago’s Andrzej Fonfara.

Why didn't she get on board to get HBO to match Showtimes offer? They have the money.

... Now granny Duva is guilty that Adonis "changed path" abruptly?

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.

"HBO Sports passed on Stevenson-Fonfara after Stevenson's representatives asked for more money to face Fonfara and REFUSED to commit to facing Kovalev in his following fight if Stevenson won."

Because she's not a good promoter. Maybe the murderer should get a better promoter.

[Russian Crushin]

No he's not

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

[Weebler I]

Ask Stevenson, he don't want it with Kov, noooo!

Butt Hurt Promoter

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.

Why waste money if there's no guarantee?
