50-50 Split is redicoulus from a business standpoint
I like Kovalev a lot more than Adonis I must admit however if the fight is in Canada where Stevenson consistently packs the house Duva asking for a 50-50 split is crazy. Kovalev deserves it as a boxer but not from a business standpoint which is 2 different things. I would say 55-45 split in favor of Stevenson should do it because he's lineal champ and bringing the crowd. I think Kovalev is better than him but that's not the point. Business wise Stevenson deserves more. It would be pay perview possible and put Kovalev in the driver seat so it's really worth taking less in this instance to make the long money in the long run.
