I don't care what network it is on, I want to see the fight. And I have no problem with these guys going to whatever network will give them the most money for this fight.

Originally posted by MrP4P View PostI hear ya but it wouldnt be the first time a network allowed a fighter to have his fight if they lost the bid. HBO wouldnt hold Kovalev back, this is mostly Duva. It doesnt really matter what any of us think really, I just dont see how anyone could blame Stevenson. At the end of the day Duva backed out (For whatever reason)

I don't see anything wrong with what was said in this article. Why not fight where the most money is being made? HBO has cut it's boxing budget a ton. I'm sure they have the money to outbid almost anyone out there so what's the real reason they won't do it? 50/50 on the money. If sho bids 8 mil to hbo's 5 then so what? The fighters are winning. Kov, imo, wins this, so I don't see why his promoter would be opposed to this idea

I despise Haymon with a passion but I have to agree with Yvon Michel in that they have to go with whoever offers the most money. If the deal on the table was a fixed amount offer, not dependant on offers and was an acceptable amount, it would be a different story. But with a 50-50 split, you go with the highest bidder. As Kovalev has an exclusive contract with HBO, then perhaps you give them the opportunity to match the highest offer instead of a blind bidding process. But nothing more than that.
