      First thing first, Hopkins lied about the phone call he never received from Stevenson clan.
      The issue is, in July Bernard Hopkins suddently requested to be paid 5 millions (70%) for the unification against Adonis Stevenson.
      But the original deal was for (50%) 3.5 millions each contenders.
      Rejecting the idea of being paid 3.5 millions (50%), Hopkins decided to agree a reduced (70%) deal with Kovalev.
      That (70%) is 2 millions, which give Kovalev (30%) 650 000$...

      The Question is WHY would you reject a 3.5 millions deal against X, and agree for a 2 millions deal against Y.
      - JUST WHY?:

      a) Hopkins didn't want to take any chances, and Duck Stevenson.
      b) Hopkins saw Stevenson path for staking money, and decide to pick his plan, by pursuing Kovalev before closing the circle with Stevenson.

      * I hope the answer is B, otherwize Bernard Hopkings will terminate his legacy with a Duck...

        Duckers can't be ducked.



        Adonis ducked Kovalev. Now he's fighting TBA
