I want to see the best fight the best also, but I also understand this is a business and all boxers are employees that negotiate their contracts.Originally posted by Fooliun_Smaxon14365453Haha "smart bisniss" "he a bisniss man doe"
I do not give a flying f@ck about who is getting paid what. I just want to see they best fight the best. And Stevenson's yellow belly has denied us fans a great fight, that's all there is to it.
Stevenson did not deny us of a great fight, hbo did. Hbo chose not to pay the man his worth. Hbo has been making some questionable boxing decisions lately.Comment

You can't seriously believe Adonis Stevenson can dictate terms?
Hbo, with ward out and Sergio out until June, needed to fill up dates. They allowed each fighter to take a blowout. If they were mad that Stevenson wasn't fighting kkk then why were they willing to broadcast the fonfora fight?
If you want to blame haymon and Stevenson fine with me. Imo hbo let this crap happen over a few dollars easily can afford.Last edited by The Big Dunn; 03-26-2014, 10:50 AM.Comment

If there's a boxing god out there, Fonfara will beat Stevenson and derail all their plans.
What a beauty that'd be.

HBO wanted the fight now. THey couldnt make Stevenson fight Kovalev, which is why they let him fight Fonfara on the condition that he was contractually obligated to fight Kovalev. You're just make things up now, HBO was the one that prevented the fight from happening now?You can't seriously believe Adonis Stevenson can dictate terms?

Then why is Duva saying they had a deal in place? See what I take from the situation is they had a deal before Haymon came in. Then Haymon tried to create a bidding war. Am I wrong in my assessment?HBO wanted the fight now.

sad, more interested in how much money a fighter is getting rather than demanding the best fights so you as a fan, can actually fcuking watch them!What is wrong with a boxer maximizing his purse? HBO has plenty of money. There is no reason they can't compensate employees at a better rate. I'm sure on your job you ask for more money. Time to stop blaming fighters when Herschman is cheap.
If fighters like GGG and KKK will fight for relatively nothing that's on them. But every fighter and manager won't settle for that and shouldn't.Comment

Don't exaggerate my position. Hbo plan was the setup fights then they fight in the fall. The hbo exec even says it in Jake's article.HBO wanted the fight now. THey couldnt make Stevenson fight Kovalev, which is why they let him fight Fonfara on the condition that he was contractually obligated to fight Kovalev.

Just match the Showtime offer and tell herschman to stop the bs and put haymon managed fighters hbo.Comment
