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

Good. I never understood why the first pursebid had to come so fast given the fact that both had fights to fight before the showdown. I reckon the bid this time is still early?

Of course it is... In case Mohammadi somehow put Kova into the hospital first, who's paying Michel and Haymon millions for the damages?

They should just fight already. This isn't the type of fight that will generate more interest as time goes on ala Pac/May. Eventually people will stop caring and it won't be as big as it is now.

Hopefully Sergey Kovaduck and Kathy Duckva won't run away from the fight this time.

PBC has $400M in investment money behind it. HBO can't hang.

HBO used to have a boxing budget of 100 million a year, and they easily could ahve that same budget again if they wanted.

That 400 million will go damn quick if it's not being replenished. Ask EliteXC.

HBO is and always will be the kings of boxing.

Exchange rates do mean though...

If the dollar is low enough, then such guys as Andrey Ryabinskiy can be involved (just a thought - maybe, oppositely, he needs a stronger doller - it all depends on the intrinsic structure of his investments). If the moment is right, and with the help of some government-supported companies they can bring an overwhelming offer to the table, maybe even overpaying way too much - like it was a case in Klitschko vs. Povetkin. The thing here is to build-up a corresponding political notion and tension over the fight. And if it's done then I wouldn't be surprised if extra 30-50 mlns. will suddenly appear to back Duva's position up.

The only problem here is that they'll ask to make it in Moscow. Which is okay, because infrastructure and entourage is getting better and better here with each single show.

In case the Russians want to pay and make this fight in Moscow, it won't sell in America because of the time zone.
... The fight should be in Quebec region...

Didn't they show Klitschko v Povetkin on HBO?

Duva and kov have no where to hide now

Fu Fu Le Ru François was the one hiding for like 2 years. Try again.
