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

[Khabash]

Anything can happen in boxing. You should take career high paydays when they're offered to you especially when you're near the end of your career. And if he beat Kovalev, he'd be able to command even more than what he's getting now.

Adonis doesn't feel confident enough he can win that fight even though it's his biggest payday - isn't that ducking? If not, then please explain your definition of ducking.

Marinating the fight my dude. Similar to the Pac Floyd fight, they're waiting to cash out it's been Haymon's plan all along.

People hate haymon cuz he's only good for the fighters. Which is good for them but sucks balls for us.

How is he losing money when the fight is still available after he gets the easy money.

dirk is off the heezey he wont stop!!!! let it be a certain fighter he loves doing what adonis is doing... (take easy fights while harder opposition is available) he would have an excuse and post all day defending it... these are the kind of posters i laugh at but at least hes all the way with it lol

A lot of the Haymon detractors don't realise the business aspect of the sport.

[SUBZER0ED]

stevenson wanted to get some cheese in his pocket before facing Kov i dont understand how this isnt understandable to people here... it makes sense for his personal well being, hes old and doesnt have a long career ahead of him i think he loses to kolv tho but if he lands clean he can end it

Exactly, Stevenson is 38 racking up 7 figure paydays against ''bums'' so why not wait before cashing out? He doesn't exactly have long left in the sport.

These dudes really think boxers are these comic book superheroes who fight purely for the fans and not to put bread on the table.

We know that Stevenson is maximizing his income by fighting bums for big money. He knows that he will be relegated to utter destruction and financial decrease once he faces Kovalev. So he's taking care of himself. Good for him, bad for us & the sport. We understad it, but we don't have to like it. And why is Showtime paying him so well to fight tomato cans? They must have money to burn.

[Hougigo]

You can see his desire... too bad Kovalev, Hopkins and pascal don't want to fight whatsoever

Marinating the fight? That's a Bob Arum term who I know you don't like so it's funny you use that lol. What happened with Juanma vs Gamboa?

I asked for your defintion of ducking or do you not think ducking exists?

Which certain fighter is that?

All the Stevenson supporters said he was making the right decision because he was going to face a legend in Hopkins for a bigger purse. And he didn't. Yet you're still supporting him?

Stevenson has no supporters.

Haymon instead has -- because he pays them to mimic support around here.

Why do you think? He brings revenue and attention to Showtime and Haymon's exciting stable of talent.

I'm sure Showtime just hand out 7 figure purses to Stevenson because he doesn't bring any value to them
