Mean Events pull out of Stevenson Purse Bid

[DoktorSleepless]

I don't get it. What do you mean? Are you saying Kovalev is ducking Adonis?

It means they care more about HBO than the fight they've been crying about.

[Kagami Taiga]

Roc nation was going to win the bid anyways..

Roc Nation wasnt even a part of the bidding as far as i know

[AllBoxingAD]

WBC ordered it

Haymon welcomed it

I didn't see a story about duva and the purse bid

They knew they would lose

And Kova's contract with hbo would prevent it

There's no ducking going on here

SDF are still a bunch of embarrassing jokes

Kovalev's contract with HBO was expired.

Main Events asked the WBC to make Kovalev Stevenson's mando. When you do that, you know that this may force a purse bid down the line. Thats how it works.

@danrafaelespn: I'll have story later on Stevenson-Kovalev but basically Kovalev is contractually tied to HBO & couldn't fight off HBO if his side lost bid.

@danrafaelespn: Although no bid @Main_Events is still proposing to negotiate 50-50 deal for Stevenson-Kovalev to be on HBO or HBO PPV this fall. #boxing


50-50 but they ducking doe. Lol compare their ratings.

[Fetta]

Oh well. Duva and Kov thought about Duva and Kov. They wantd money. I only hope the same who still hate on Stevenson for doing the exact same thing will now hate on Kov.

Stevenson vs shotsky lmao did like less than 300k homes

So... Kovalev's ducking because Al Haymon refuses to let his fighters fight on HBO PPV for ONE fight because he's trying to do this "PBC WWE" thing and monopolize boxing?


GOTCHA! Lmao.

It's open to whatever promoter has the best offer.. Remember roc nation blindsided everyone and won the quillen purse bid which led to quillen vacating

GYM said Haymon was okay with Stevenson going to HBO if they won the purse bid.
