If only these promoters cared about putting together great fights rather than how much money they are gonna make of each fighter Boxing wouldnt have such a bad rap!
    Not if HBO air his fights. It will be interesting to see who they choose as his opponent for the "homecoming" fight.

      Remember Dariusz Michalczewski? He never fought in the US . Joe Calzaghe didnt get that recognition except for fighting Bhop once and that was a Manny /Floyd kinda fight in terms of ugliness. Even the Klits get no love in the states.
      I think they are just protecting his ***ing 0 and waiting for the big money payday! HBO cant even sell a HW fight on PPV with Wald. The HW champ is fighting on FNFs lol.

        Great, this means Duva will actually follow through with a purse bid this time. Hopefully it won't be like last time where she claimed she wasn't worried because HBO was going to bring big money to bid on Kovalev's behalf and obviously they didn't when she ran from the bid.
        Stevenson's prior actions have always served as an obvious indication to me that he doesn't want to fight Kovalev (or any tough opponent). He & Haymon want to milk his career as long as possible with weaker opponents, because once he fights Kovalev, they know the party will be over. It will be interesting to see Haymon's and Stevenson's reaction to Duva's next move to make the fight.

          Who is? HBO have an exclusive contract with Kovalev, and they told Duva to make Beterbiev an offer so they don't sound like they're protecting him.

            Ok DUva, good. SO make sure they beat Haymon's bid and if so, stage the fight in Russia.

            Just don't you and Kov walk away from another purse bid, OK.

              I just dont wanna see Kovalev go down that road that these grimy ass networks and promoters can take them, just to make a buck.
              As for Beterbiev... I think Kovalev will stomp him fairly easy.

                Guess we'll find out if/when purse bid time comes for Kovalev-Beterbiev.

                    garbage offer 500k when this is a mega fight in USSR. Why Weebler? why? only 500k, when these russians have so much money
