All parties had a deal: HBO-Kovalev-Stevenson before Haymon came in the picture.
"Not long afterward, Stevenson hired Al Haymon, the high-powered manager with the ever-increasing stable. And it was from there that the deal to pit Stevenson and Kovalev crumbled. An HBO source said Haymon asked for 40 percent more than HBO had agreed upon to pay Stevenson. The same course said further than Haymon told the network he would only negotiate a one-fight deal, for Stevenson-Fonfara, and wouldn't talk about a potential bout with Kovalev even if HBO had agreed to the 40-percent increase."
So even if HBO agreed upon the 40% increased request, Haymon still wouldn't guarantee he would accept.
WOW!!!
