Comments Thread For: WBC Reorders Stevenson-Kovalev; 5/29 Purse Bid Set

[tiliheels]

its weird fight, i think Sergey is a way better fighter, but will actually lose this fight. Weird i no, but if he fights like he did in round 5 against Pascal One of my favs is getting KTFO

take away his jab and back him up and he's not much of a fighter..stevenson counters the jab very well u cant even dare think to throw it on him with out eating the meanest left hand in the game...imo kov only has a punchers chance this fight..

Nobody has deeper pockets than HBO. They could help Main Events win the purse bid if they really want to keep Kovalev exclusively on HBO. If they don't want to spend the money then let Main Events and Haymon work out a deal.

Apparently Haymon and his PBC have close to a half billion dollars to play with. I doubt anyone can win a bid with them if Haymon wants to throw around ****** money like he has been doing with his PBC purses.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Lmao.




Its either embrace Al Haymon!!! or get stripped of your WBC ranking most likely., and further the misconception that Kovalev is scared of Adonis even though most fans realize he's not and its Main Events that's apprehensive, either way it makes Kovalev look bad too.


Those are Your options Kathy Duva. Shouldn't have been puffed up in the 1st place, now its "Show & Tell" Time.




BOOOOOOOOOM ! :ANYWORD:

Get stripped? Stripped of what? Stevenson holds the WBC title, not Kovalev. What should be done is that anyone entering the purse bid should be forced to reveal the source of their funding and as Al Haymon is not a promoter, he and all associated with him should be prohibited from any financial involvement.

If Haymon finances a promoter that is the same as acting as a promoter himself which would put him in violation of the Ali Act and he should be charged under that Act if necessary.

backfired

When keeping it real goes wrong. Thread backfired!

And this is why I say that WBC will stand by GGG being the mandatory defense for Cotto. They are a totally changed organization with Mauricio at the helm.

This is very true. He's done a lot of the right things. A pleasant surprise in boxing for once.

I don't mean to be impolite, but you must be brainwashed or live in fantasy land to believe what you've written.

Lol bro you just made up a whole court case as you went along.

When do they ever ask a promoter to reveal their funding at a purse bid or otherwise?

By the way GYM would still win.

And this is why I say that WBC will stand by GGG being the mandatory defense for Cotto. They are a totally changed organization with Mauricio at the helm. And I like the fact that a very important point is noted in the article, in case anyone missed it this is that particular point...

"HBO still holds a right of first refusal on Kovalev's next fight."

That is irrelevant of the terms of any new contract Kovalev has with HBO. In other words, with or without a new contract, HBO still has Kovalev under their control for his next fight. Unless they take a pass on it, of course.

It's only because it's the fight that makes them the most money. They do unprecedented things to make as much money as possible, this simply proves it.
