    Has a lineal champ ever ducked three mega fights back to back to back?

    Adonis Stevenson missed out on Kovalev, Hopkins and now Pascal. This is a historic run! Al Haymon has a Chris Algieri like strategy for Adonis; he's going to let him out the cage in 3 more years at the prime age of 40! Seriously I've never seen anything like this before in all my years.

    Turn down big fights = less money = ??? = profit? Somethings missing here in the Haymon formula. Petey Quillin is doing the math right now.

    Sad thing is, Quackenson could still end up beating Kovalev next year and coming out of this looking good. I'd hope karma wouldn't allow that, but it's possible.

        He's not turning down any megafights though.

              What mega fights has Cotto turned down? If he turned down Canelo, Mayweather and Pacquiao yeah you'd have a point.

                    No man, Pascal vs Kovalev has been announced as a done deal, all because team Stevenson once again ****ed around too long trying to squeeze for a higher purse split.
