Stevenson needs Pascal more than he thinks

[bluebeam]

So Stevenson is trying to act like he holds all the cards here and claiming he's some huge draw because he got that Showtime payday.

Here's the thing though... that payday was under the assumption bigger fights would be made and that either Stevenson or Hopkins would be standing where Kovalev is right now... with three belts around his waist.

Now they are stuck with an investment that isn't yielding anything. Those dismal numbers for Stevenson's paycheck alone was worthless.... they knew not to bother putting on another show in September that would've been a waste of money and ended up putting Stevenson's next fight on Showbox against a guy who's name literally has the word suck in it.

Does Stevenson really think he's going to get to defend against bums and make money? Even Kovalev was only making like 400k against Agnew and Caparello.

If Pascal doesn't get the split he wants, he could just go over to HBO and get a decent amount of money fighting for more belts and a bigger crowd while Stevenson and Showtime are stuck making fights nobody wants.

Fonfara rematch anybody? How about a Karpency fight?

Also if Yvone Michel is so intent on throwing Beterbiev's name out there, why don't you put him against Alvarez or Stevenson?

Let's face the facts..... Showtime isn't going to tolerate another crap show for big money and Stevenson literally has nobody

if pascal decides too fight kovalev instead of Stevenson. then Adonis will just fight bute in montreal. its not really a fight America is interested in. but I guarantee you they will sell out any arena in montreal

Bute needs to win his next fight first.

Possibly, I wonder if Bute will take it though. Don't think he wants to get KO'd again and he's happy doing what he's doing.

IMO, he's still scared to get hurt

Pascal is looking for the bigger money, from what he's been saying, he'll pick whoever gives him more

Pascal is fighting at the Bell Centre -- which secures him big gate numbers.
Pascal could even beat Stevenson, who I suspect is on his way towards retirement after one or (at most) two big purses. But it depends on how good Adonis will sell his next fight at Colisee de Quebec.

Kovalev just fought Hopkins who was not only with Showtime, but owns 5% of Golden Boy.

There are no rules forbidding that type of thing. It's up to the individuals. Adonis is straight up scared.

hopkins made his money, stevenson hasnt. he isnt scared of anything other than not getting his before he steps out, which is a legitimate concern for a 37 year old ex con with no education or means to support his wife and children outside of boxing.

if kovalev brought the money you would have reason to call stevenson scared, that wasnt the case.

Kovalev drew a million viewers fighting no-name Agnew.

I really hope Krusher Kov faces Pascal next and leaves Adonis out in the cold. That stunt he and Haymon pulled was straight B.S

I'd buy 2 tix in a heartbeat for Kov/Pascal in Montreal. I was up there for Hopkins/Pascal and it was insane. Great boxing town.
