Why is there a double standard for Kovalev and Stevenson?

... This isn't worth downgrading into a Haymon circus show.
The fight does have PPV potential ... as long as the TV partner is willing to put up the money to front the costs of the event (paying everyone Monday morning, while the actually money from the fight trickles in over the following 18 months). Is HBO willing to put up the front money, especially in an environment when HBO is already spooked of the idea of bidding against Haymon to air the fight on regular TV?
I doubt it.

Why WBC would want a pursebid so early when interim fights have already been scheduled is beyond me. I don't know if there's a precedent.
You call the early purse bid so that you lock in Stevenson-Kovalev to happen at a future date, while also letting Kovalev manage his own business affairs beyond the proposed fight (Kovalev could sign with HBO if he wanted, but HBO wouldn't be allowed to bar the Kovalev-Stevenson fight, since it would've already been agreed to, pre new deal).

I have more of an issue with people who REFUSE to bash Kovalev and his people for this underhanded bull**** when they ripped Stevenson to shreds for signing with Haymon. We all know what that ilk espouses. Their blatant hatred for any fighter with a bit of pigment makes me sick to my fucking stomach. They are a disease that need to be eradicated from this board.

Peoples' dislike of Stevenson isn't about race. He was a pimp enforcer, who used to beat up teenaged girls to force them into prostitution. He even forced them to fight each other naked for his amusement.
A scumbag like Adonis would never be liked by many whether he were black, white, red, yellow, or brown. Why can't you understand that?

Watch out now Bo. I'm sure Shoulderroll reports you. Unless of course that he caries a double standard and only reports certain satire.
