Comments Thread For: Duva Explains Need For Kovalev-Stevenson Lawsuit

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Promoter Kathy Duva indeed followed through with the legal action she threatened after what she considers a legally binding agreement for a fall unification fight between light heavyweight champions Sergey Kovalev and Adonis Stevenson fell apart last month.

A civil lawsuit was filed Tuesday in a New York federal court on behalf of Main Events – the Totowa, N.J.-based promotional company for which Duva is chief executive officer – against Groups Yvon Michel (Stevenson’s promoter), Yvon Michel, Al Haymon (Stevenson’s adviser), Golden Boy Promotions, Showtime, Stevenson and John Does 1-8, eight unidentified parties who are culpable for the acts alleged in the complaint.

I would love to see this fight get ordered, and fans get what they deserve (and crave).

it is sure going to cost stevenson lots of money for running away.

Duva is once again giving me a stiffy.

[MDPopescu]

So Duva brought English attorneys... That's tough!

If you duck, you pay!

Good for Main Events, I hope it works out for them. A deal is a deal.

"Among the allegations listed in the lawsuit is that Haymon, a seldom-seen yet extremely powerful adviser who represents superstar Floyd Mayweather Jr. and numerous additional high-profile fighters, acts as an unlicensed promoter."

That takes some serious balls. Hopefully she doesn't end up falling down an elevator shaft.

All for show. No substance, no merit. Just a parade.

It would be ironic if Haymon went down and it somehow had some detrimental effect on his stable of boxers.

Empires are built to fall...
