Mean Events pull out of Stevenson Purse Bid

[DoktorSleepless]

Hopefully now this means that the fight will happen in Quebec in Adonis' backyard in front of his hometown fans.

Will be much sweeter for Krusher to KO him in front of his hometown fans.

No, it means the fight is not happening. Duva renewed the HBO contract, and now Kov can't fight off HBO.

lmao..........

The reasoning makes a lot of sense. Hard to make a valuation considering the factors listed on the tweet.

No, it means the fight is not happening.

How did you come to that conclusion?


Kovalev is not going to let ME/HBO NOT let him fight Adonis. They're going to have to let him fight off HBO for one fight if that's the only way he can fight Adonis.

You have to appease your stars. They'll have no choice. Kovalev wants the fight.

I read it as they want to reach an agreement with Stevenson's team instead of bid on it.

[Da Machine]

So main events isnt bidding or they are pulling Kvalev out o the bid? Big difference here, seems to be some confusion.

they dont want to be subject to a purse bid. they want the fight to happen on HBO. haymon is not allowing that. that means no fight. all u gotta do is read what duva wrote.

Fights going to happen. At the end of the day it comes down to what the fighters want. Not the white collared cubicle workers filing paperwork.


If Kovalev and Stevenson both want the fight, the fights going to happen.

They are taking Kovalev out of the purse bid.

They want to negotiate the fight instead of going through the purse bid process.

There will be no bid on April 17.

Main Events is offering 50/50 for a fight on HBO. Said they are willing to do it in Quebec City.

[Pigeons]

Dan Rafael says no fight. Only on HBO.
