    Not sure that's as easy as it sounds for Stevenson.

        Stevenson is facing the music, getting it from everyone these days.

        This guy doesn't wanna fight Kovalev, not Hopkins...Hopkins-Kovalev gets made & Stevenson looks like a bytch. Now he doesn't even wanna face Pascal? LOL

          Stevenson ran from Kovalev claiming he wanted to fight Hopkins, then Hopkins said Stevenson didn't even return his calls

            Adonis-Pascal is actually a pretty good fight, as long as the Haitian solidarity stuff doesnt get in the way.

            Pretty fun to also see Team Stevenson getting all the "boxing is a business" crap used against them

            Sweet karma.

              It was obvious this fight was not going to take place. Stevenson and his team are simply not willing to make big fights. They've given us no indication to say otherwise.

              As I said in another thread, there is no way Pascal is taking less than 50/50. He's already an established name, and he's the one setting records at the Bell Centre.

              You could get away with a 70-30 split against Kovalev, but not with Pascal. Especially if the fight is in the Bell Centre.

              Expect him to fight Campillo in September.

                Signing to Haymon isn't going to do him any negative. Guess you haven't heard the type of money he pays his guys have you?

                  He ducked Hopkins how? According to Espinoza Hopkins passed on more money to fight Kovab1tch.

                    In Bernard's own words:

                    "Whoever is on Stevenson's side or Yvon Michel's, should be kicking a can right now with cement in the can, and that will really hurt your toe. That deal should have been set in stone as soon as he walked across the street [to Showtime]. As soon as he walked across the street they should have worked on that."

                    "I said 'Okay, let's pull the trigger, let's go.' HBO stepped up. Main Events stepped up. And the other side hadn't gotten back with my team yet, so I looked it like 'Hey, I'm not going to sit around and wait and fight just to keep fighting at this stage of my career.'"

                    "When did you do that article? Because that's who (sic) long I've been trying to get this deal done [with Stevenson]."

                    By Rick Reeno - Back on July 2nd, BoxingScene.com ran an article where IBF/WBA light heavyweight champion Bernard Hopkins (55-6-2, 32KOs) revealed his intention to face WBO champion Sergey Kovalev (25-0-1, 23KOs) in an HBO televised unification bout. Very few people took the article seriously. Almost everyone in the industry expected Hopkins to face WBC champion Adonis Stevenson (24-1, 20KOs) in the fall. For most of 2013, HBO was building up a unification fight between Kovalev and Stevenson. Earlier this year, Stevenson jumped ship to rival network Showtime, with the obvious goal of facing Hopkins, who at that point was exclusively fighting on their network. Kathy Duva of Main Events, who felt confident that she reached an agreement with promoter Yvon Michel for a Stevenson-Kovalev unification on HBO, filed a federal lawsuit against Michel, Stevenson, Showtime, Stevenson's manager Al Haymon and former Golden Boy CEO Richard Schaefer. Stevenson made his Showtime televised debut on May 24th, and won a twelve round unanimous decision over Andrzej Fonfara. At the time of the BoxingScene article, nearly six weeks after Stevenson's Showtime debut, Hopkins confirmed that not a single "serious" conversation had taken place to make a fall unification with Stevenson.


                    Hopkins' resume at age 40+ is tougher than Stevenson's entire resume. I tend to believe him over the chickenpimp.

                    Stevenson himself acted like he jumped networks because he was after Hopkins, then he gets there, fights Fonfara and doesn't return Hopkins' phone calls? LOL
