Did you not read my post? He wasn't willing to fight Kovalev even if HBO matched Showtime's offer.
Anybody that defends Stevenson is pathetic

What makes this duck even worse is that he has the cheek to call Kovalev a bum.
Imagine ducking somebody and then calling them a bum

That's because he wanted to do a victory lap of paydays before he risked Kovalev. It's a duck, but it's not like he's talking about fighting cabbies either.Did you not read my post? He wasn't willing to fight Kovalev even if HBO matched Showtime's offer.

That's how Haymon negotiates. He kept Floyd on a fight by fight basis with HBO for years. You can keep going back and skinning the cat for more money when there's no long term commitment. And you can always use the other network in play as leverage. It's freakin brilliant. You get Bside fighters or older fighters who need security long term deals.Did you not read my post?

From looking at this situation without inside knowledge I'd say the money trail has Stevenson with Kova down the road for more money than it draws now. Stevenson is going after a better draw/pay day with Hopkins, its the smart move business wise!
Of course boxing "fans" get their draws twisted up and cry but if it were their carrier choices they'd follow the money trail not the fandumb march! Ray.Comment

kovalev vs stevenson,,, both have peaked,, winner should get hopkins
I dont really mind that adonis is targeting hopkins, but what im pissed about is that for the past year, HBO, adonis, and Kovolev have been working on building this fight and then at the last second when it was about to become a done deal adonis bails,,, That is why im mad,, If stevenson wanted hopkins, he shouldnt be doing co-features with kovalev the past year...Comment
