      Its Kovalev who cant fight off of HBO.
      Why did Stevenson duck Kovalev to fight Fonfara then.


      This fight should of BEEN happened, and it's not Kovalev's fault it didn't.... so i don't want to hear anything about "Kovalev doesn't want it." or "Kovalev is ducking"

        Wtf am I saying in this thread??? IDC how or where this fight happens, it just needs to happen. My very first post was saying GOOD hopefully this happens in Quebec aka on PBC, if that's what it takes.


        I don't give a **** about HBO.... only my heroes. The boxers. I've recently made threads putting HBO on blast for not giving GGG certain fights he needs
        What?

        Since when does Quebec City = PBC???

          I'm saying if it were to happen in Quebec it would most likely mean Adonis' team is putting on the show..... Which means it would most likely be on PBC

              Yes it should have been happened.

              That doesnt mean you should miscontrue whats happening now just to fit what you want and dont want to hear.

              Main Events could have gone to and won the purse bid if they wanted it to be HBO only. But they pulled out.

                No it does not mean that.

                The venue is an entirely different deal then the network.

                HBO does fights in MTL and Quebec City.

                  I thought we were adult boxing fans who just wanted to see good fights.

                  Now we support 'my way or the highway' type deals that prevent fights from happening.

                    Not Haymon's fault on this one
                    Haymon is not a promoter and as such cannot bid on any fight. Haymon is an advisor/manager and fighters pay him for his services, he does not pay fighters. Promoters pay fighters and if anyone could get proof that Haymon is behind any bids or is paying money to fighters he would be in violation of the Ali Act.
