    Who'll also want a far bigger purse than Kovalev.

    Also Kovalev had higher ratings last fight out against a nobody compared to Hopkins's unification

      And rightly so. That's the thing, why would Stevenson leave Showtime when they paid more for him in the first place .

        Because they're bidding!

        That's the point of the bid, to get two networks to fight over you with money.

        That's how this whole thing got started

            Okay, so as long as Kovalev isn't there it's fine?

            Well, hope he doesn't expect this kind of treatment after he loses his belt.

            Guess it's only bid for money when there's a way out to fight Kovalev

HBO desperately wants to make the Kovalev fight, especially given how vulnerable Stevenson looked tonight. Showtime is aware of this. You'd think Stevenson would be in position to get a nice fat offer if he put himself up for another bid.
              If the bid info is correct, which i dont know. havent looked into it. the TS has a pretty good point!!!

                I hope youre not a boxing manager. Hell fight Hopkins because it's the bigger money fight, and he'll lose to Hopkins

                  It's not up to him, it's up to HBO to make him an offer.

                    I hope you're not one either.

                    Do you not understand the concept of bidding?

                      HBO is cheap as hell. Who the hell is Kovalev really ?
