... So Kovalev still hasn't a renewed his contract with HBO and IBF insists on that Muhammady mando... So Duva has to go to the purse bid on Friday with whose money?... And with what fighter?... As Mahammedi might kill Kova (by means of "an act of God")...
So is Duva forced to sign the fight and be left with all the financial liabilities?
So, this "premature" purse bid is what it is -- a bullshit.Comment

Well you know what happens then don't you?Originally posted by ManAnimalX View Post
Isaac Chilemba becomes Stevenson's mandatory, and Stevenson gets beaten for less money.
Stevenson needs this bout more than Kovalev does.Comment

Kova already asked IBF for an exception to fight Pascal instead of Mohamedy... I didn't hear anything new from IBF on this issue lately.Originally posted by MDPopescu View Post...

Chilamba has short hands and no KO power -- the pimp sparks him (in case he doesn't gass as lately).Originally posted by Weebler I View PostComment

I don't believe so MD, Golden Boy Chilemba is way too intelligent for a one-handed fighter. Stevenson will struggle to land anything clean on him.Originally posted by MDPopescu View PostComment

Kovalev was a free agent after he fought Jean Pascal, and he signed up AGAIN with HBO before the WBC purse bid.
Stevenson is the biggest pay day available for Kovalev. Duva filled out a lawsuit against Haymon, Stevenson, Michel, Golden Boy, Schaeffer, Showtime, and she pulls it out.
She rushed the WBC to force the unification for the WBC, and now she pulls it out.
Duva is a bluffer.
She bluffs her own boxers, their managers. You think trainer John David Jackson doesn't want to have more buck for training Kovalev, he knows Kathy Duva's hypocrite face.
She would never let one of her boxers sign with Haymon, not one. She would never let one of them fight on Showtime or PBC. Look closely, with all the boxing medias following Dan Rafael's pen, and the Hopkins & Pascal's contribution which merged with this popular groove, a lot of no-brainers believed Stevenson was scared of higher opposition, Duva, Kovalev, HBO were convinced.
She finally end up believing to her own overboosted lie that she created herself, and went asking the WBC to force the matchup, thinking Stevenson-Haymon-Michel wouldn't have the choice but to vacate the WBC title. She thought that Stevenson would have copied the Quillin move. Wow, this lawyer is really unskillful to think that simple.
And to her great surprise, she realize that Stevenson wanted that fight all along. Asking herself, how the F*** Adonis team are so confident, I got a bad feeling about this one.
Fans just have a hard time accepting this staging coming from Kovalev's clan. Naive people will never accept to consider themselves as naive persons. Stevenson wanted that fight, and it was Kovalev who never wanted it, Kovalev was bluffing.
A bluffer or liar, will always sound convincing, yet there's no way around the truth but by lying, and this is what Kovalev's team does.Comment

Would you? he takes control of the fighter and invariably wrecks their reputation.Originally posted by TheThirdEye View Post
Stevenson was on a roll before he signed with Haymon, 2013 fighter of the year and top of his division, now nobody watches his mismatches.
If you're a Stevenson fan, why would you want to see him waste his career and legacy, he's already 38 years old.Comment

I've missed the news on Kova re-signing with HBO...Originally posted by TheThirdEye View Post
Now WBC rescheduled the purse bid for May 29, right?
Yvon Michel said to Duva:
"Bring the proposal from HBO and I bring a proposal from a PBC-affiliated network and we go where it has the most value," he said. "I'm willing to negotiate but she has to be willing to maximize the revenue."
As I said many times here: they should air the PPV fight on both HBO and Showtime and the "revenues will be maximised"...Comment
