      It should be Kovalev v Chilemba, he's in the world's top 10 and the WBO's top 15.

      Plus, he's with Main Events and he actually wants the fight.

      What's the hold-up?

        Most likely in the fall.

        I don't expect any big fights this year. Hopkins/Stevenson on the other side and Pascal seems completely uninterested

          Either they're trying to build him up or HBO don't find him good enough so far

          Fat Dan said that since HBO knows they can't secure a good enough showdown, they're going for the cheapest option since they know they're just staying busy.

          Dan said Capirillo would be 100k

            Well it's either those reasons or Duva is saving him for the NBC date she has in December.

            Pity Caperillo didn't still have his IBO title.

              December is the next date? You mean Chilemba/Kovalev? Kovalev probably not going to be on NBC for a while.

              I think they have a July show since Curtis Stevens says he's back then

                Yeah, Duva was talking about putting Kovalev on during the holidays when viewing figures will be high.

                  Well probably then. She's trying tofit 2 more fights in after August with Fonfara in the early/mid fall. Kovalev gonna need to be 100% against Chilemba though

                    Caparello isn't even ranked in the top 15 by the WBO? That's a weak opponent.

                    HBO is going to be televising tomato can fights now.
