Stevenson has expressed a clear desire to fight Kovalov.So how is he ducking?

[Khabash]

People hyped about Stevenson supposedly ''ducking'' Kovalov, yet if this was the case why has he expressed such a clear desire to face him? Stevenson used common sense in joining Haymon (who is hated for some reason despite getting huge paydays for his fighters). Stevenson's purse against Dimitry was higher than anything Kovalov has ever earned. That boy didn't even earn 7 figures against Hopkins lol.

Stevenson earns 7 figures facing cans so why would he be in a rush to face Kovalov. There's no doubt if the fight happens Stevenson would rightly request the lions share of the purse (AT LEAST 70/30 split in Adonis' favor) so if Kovalov walks over the purse like Pacquiao has with Floyd would you guys still claim he is ducking?

simple math

They had an agreement to fight and the pulled out. How is that showing interest?

Moving to a different network doesn't help your case.

Maybe he wanted to stack up a few more 7 figure paydays unlike that broke Kovalov who's career high is 6 figures?

[PK3434]

He is expressing desire to fight Kovalev, only because his decisions made the fight extremely difficult to make. Also, he is certainly aware of how much momentum he has lost and is trying to get back in good graces with the fans. If Stevenson wanted the fight, it would've happened already.

Just wait, in a few months Stevenson will be demanding more money to fight Kovalev because he is the "lineal champion"...even though Kovalev has 3 belts and actually does good tv ratings.

And earning more facing those ''bums'' than Kovalev ever has.
