Comments Thread For: Kovalev's Promoter Would Love Froch, DeGale Bouts

[HeroBando]

He needed Pascal to get his first million dollar payday (before that fight he was making less than 500k). Why would any fighter have to adjust to him and HBO? We will see how big of a draw he is in his next fight.

If they wanted those fights that badly they would put up more money period. The top 3 fighters ranked for his titles (after his next fight), are all signed to Haymon. What is he going to do when his WBA, WBO, and IBF titles go to a purse bid?

There is a reason why they are only calling out Super Middleweights. All 3 guys Stevenson, Fonfara, and Beterbiev have to come fight on HBO (So they and his manager can rob him) when they are signed to PBC (and can get more viewers and make more money)?

Sounds good, but hasn't really worked out like that, right? Since Stevenson left HBO, his ratings and gate numbers have been pathetic, as were the matchups. Even Chavez Fonfara got miserable numbers. GYM should just approach HBO and forget purse bid, that's not happening. He's not exclusive to PBC, unlike Kovalev to HBO. They'll make way more than whatever else is on the table.

Pascal was the draw for Kovalev that is why he is fighting on the under card for his next fight to they could sell a rematch to us.
