      I would assume the network would be decided depending on who wins the purse bid.

        No one should be faulted for that, the memes and gifs would be pretty damn funny also. I don't know if it would be Bronner level but I think it would get damn close.

          would this be a 75/25 split or 50/50?

          If Haymon/Warriors bid $3.1 mil for dirrell/Degale, how high will he go here?

            I'm wondering this too. If haymon won the bid would he get to choose the network?

              HBO would have to co-sign it because Kovalev is signed to an exclusive deal with them.

                i guess they gained some confidence after seeing pascal land clean a few times. unfortunately for them kovalev will approach this one much differently and make easy work of adonis

                  Kathy Duva is broke, she isn't winning any sort of purse bid.

                  Will HBO let Kovalev fight on PBC?

                    If Haymon doesn't win the purse bid the fight wont happen.

                      I'm pretty sure the fight is PPV on HBO so Haymon might let it go where it makes more money. I think Pascal-Kovalev was PPV. Kovalev puts up 1 million+ viewers, Stevenson did 292k on Showtime.

                      The fight is going to be in Montreal where Stevenson is from and where it sells tickets, are they going to put a Montreal card on US network TV? doesn't make much financial sense.
