    Hopkins and Golden Boy had no intention of making Hopkins-Kovalev. They said some **** about Showtime not being interested in the Kovalev fight. Oh please

        I think you left out CNN


        At the time,Hopkins and Kovalev was not under contract to any network,so they could have did the fight on Fox Sports or overseas.

                  I said that Showtime and HBO are not the only networks out there.Roy Jones went over seas numerous times to fight and got paid over a million to fight one of the cruiserwieghts.And the fights was not broadcast by HBO or Showtime.

                      Arreolla vs Stiverne is gonna be televised on ESPN.If that fight could be made without SHowtime or HBO,then Hopkins vs Kovalev could have been made without Showtime or HBO.
