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?
    When I saw your thread title, I thought it made sense. When I read your post, I thought otherwise. Stevenson is not ducking Kovalev....now. Now, he is desperate to fight Kovalev or Paschal or anyone else of note that can help him overcome his reputation as Mr. Irrelevant. He is not getting a 70/30 split against Kovalev, Paschal or anyone else because, after all, Stevenson is Mr. Irrelevant. Also, in spite of what his promoter claimed, I don't think there is any way in hell Showtime paid Stevenson $1.5 milion to beat up a no-hope journeyman

      Froch got 10m pounds for Groves2. No contest, Ward will probably never make a third of that for a fight, nor will he touch Chavez in purses. Get it now, dumb fcuk?

        Stevenson is not making as much as he would to face Kovalev.

        He must not like getting paid as much as Inkayamba thinks.

          Hopefully the fight gets made and may the best man win, seems like certain people just want to yell "duck" any chance they get. As if every big fight got made asap in the history of the sport

            Which is why he's waiting for the final cash out.

            The man is 38, why not stack your money up before finally cashing out?

              Oh I totally get his thinking.

              Why not fight some bums and make a few more paydays instead of getting KTFO and having your career ended straight off the bat by Kovalev?

              Makes perfect sense.

                Fact remains that Kovalev's highest payday is less than what Stevenson got facing Dimitry.

                Kathy Duva is robbing that dude blind, no wonder she is so overly happy, her and her all female team of tricks exploiting the russian brother.

                    which would you do in a world where u needed money? lol just man to man.. if you could make some millions and were 38 at the end of your short career and this was probably the only way you could make money due to your past... you are telling me you wouldnt want some extra cash before you made that jump? or would you want to get KTFO and end it all... lets be honest and logical here... and if you say no u wouldnt then im fine with it

                      Big secret...
                      Why did you think the GYM took Beterbiev? Michel would like to hold that lineal belt and make huge money from les Quebecoises...
