    right now, duva/kov ran away from the fight preventing it from happening. you, and others, have yet to call him out for this or wax about how the sport is damaged, like you did when Stevenson walked away from fight.

    you didn't give Stevenson credit for past performance, so why now?
    But that isn't true, the fight is still on the table. Main Events have made that clear multiple times.

    Hypothetically they didn't have to, I don't think Andy Lee signed with him for example.

    I do think Main Events is principally run by Duva, and I don't know if Haymon has asked Kovalev to sign with him, I doubt it.

      You don't know that she didn't.

        Link? Afaik no published figures, but don't forget Stevenson's income is both from the network and Canada PPV and live gate, since it's his guy promoting. Of course both of these were low for Sukhotsky, and Fonfara, and Bika...
        Kathy hasn't presented an offer from HBO. You said it wont be made until after he defeats his mandatory, a fight he hasn't signed for.

        SO Stevenson should wait until Kov defeats his mandatory then see what deal Is offered rather than take a payday?

        Yeah, that makes sense. The only thing more embarrassing than Kov/Duva cowardice is your posts.

          stevesnon/Haymon made the same thing clear-didn't stop you and others from the angry attacks.

            Was I biased when I was touting him for FOTY? Kovalev had a strong case at that time too, along with 6-7 other fighters but Stevenson was my pick because I felt he deserved it.

            Main Events have just delivered us Hopkins v Kovalev, and Pascal v Kovalev inside 6 months. Did you not want those fights? Did you not enjoy those fights? But we're supposed to hammer on Duva who sent her fighter into the opponent's back yard multiple times to put them on? I trust they want the fight, their track record demonstrates it, just not on Haymon TV owing primarily to their association with HBO.
            As taking into account his recent fight with Bika, do you still think that Stevenson actually wants Kovalev now or down the line?

              She never indicated she did.

              You said you didn't think she spoke to HBO prior to going to the WBC, yet now you are suggesting she may have spoke with them about it.

              Sorry Mitchell, I think its clear kov/duva just don't want it right now.

                Months ago you were also repeating Kovalev is a juicer before his team agreed to blood testing. Then when Pascal refused vada, you were on damage control. Same thing will probably happen here and you will eat crow again. smh

                  We don't know what the discussions were betwen Duva and HBO.

                    No, they signed to fight someone else, and in this very article they have said their target was Hopkins (which ultimately wasn't true either).

                    Hard to know, he claimed to want Hopkins and didn't follow through. To be honest, I think he just wants easy money.

                    I responded to your other post above.

                      So no link for Sukhotsky? Not surprised.

                      Stevenson should start talking to HBO and see what they're ready to offer if/when Kov gets past his mando. He can fight another no hoper in the mean time.
