Comments Thread For: Team Kovalev: 50-50 Offer on The Table for Stevenson

[aboutfkntime]

Sergey Kovalev - who on Saturday night dispatched Nadjib Mohemmedi in three round at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas - is the owner of the IBF, WBA and WBO light heavyweight titles. But he's made it clear that he still yearns for the WBC strap, which is currently held by Adonis Stevenson. So what are the chances of them unifying the 175-pound class anytime soon?

In the last year or so both Kovalev and Stevenson have walked away from the potential bout for various reasons, mostly having to do with the fractured nature of the business. While Stevenson is under the au****es of Al Haymon and the Premier Boxing Champions universe, Kovalev just recently signed an exclusive multi-fight pact with HBO.

That is a fair call from Duva.

But, whilst Stevenson still holds a title, that fight will likely always be 50/50.

Kovalev will not overshadow/outsell Stevenson by much, not without fighting him.

Great starting point.

Now I have more interest in Kovalev-Beterbiev than Kovalev-Stevenson.

Stevenson will defend the title against a few more tomato cans for more money in Montreal before he agrees to lose the belt to Kovalev. I reckon late 2016.

Stevenson is too old to wait until 2016. If he wants to win the fight he needs to fight Kovalev this year.

50/50 offer from the Kovalev camp is more than generous as Stevenson is irrelevant these days. He's even offered to travel to Montreal and KO him there. If the Stevenson camp refuse this then they are straight up cowards making excuses and he should relinquish his title and grow some balls.

this is just a spin job to make up for turning down the purse big..hbo trying to be greedy..cameras were around this week since it is fight week so hey why not cover up the scars..haymon was putting up a purse bid of 10 million...hbo is more interested in making ggg vs previously ko'd champ, won my belt bc of ndams chin issues a ppv fight...NO THANKS GO TO PBC FOR THE PPL AND GET PAID THE BEST

Not me. I would love to see the possibility of Stevenson doing the leg quiver, flat on his back with his eyes rolled up in his head after the torment that evil *** put women and girls through.

[Scary]

What a generous offer, Kovalev really proving he's out for the best!

Getting really high on him.

Not for much longer, Waddell & Reed are in some trouble.

They're in this for 3-5 years. Stevenson will be over 40 by then.
