Comments Thread For: Adonis Stevenson: Duva Used Me To Get New HBO Deal!

[Hougigo]

She was gonna get one for at least Kovalev regardless

[HeroBando]

US money, Stevenson is getting paid in US dollars; Good try bando...

That may be so, but all his purses are unpublished, with 3m the projected amount, per Quebec newspaper. Nowhere did they mention USD

[HeroBando]

Stevenson-Karpency is on PPV, in Quebec and across the broader Canadian market, in addition to spearheading the effort to bring big-time boxing to Toronto. Beyond all of that, the revenue from the PBC broadcast to Stevenson is likely to be $1m-$1.5m.

not that difficult to figure out.

Lol at this guy, always got some ridiculous projections. You understand the ppv doesn't bring **** when nobody buys it, as will be the case for this sorry mismatch. 5m rofl

There's no purse bid. Stevenson can fight Kovalev on HBO for career best money, or more bums for much less. Which one will he choose, whats your guess?

HBO low balled him the first time. Why would he want to go down that road again?

When did they low ball him, against straight from espn2 Fonfara? Look at his career since leaving HBO, pathetic ratings, pathetic attendance, bum after bum and nobody takes him seriously. Pascal split 6m with Kovalev and didn't bring a belt.

Kovalev on HBO is easily his career best purse, but far more risk than these bums he's been fighting. Which path will he choose, what's your guess?

Got pimped by old women, and now he is a bi.tch of Al Haymon. Adonis is probably serving him while wearing maid clothes.

HBO offered less than 3 mil for both fighters to split. Why do you think Stevenson turned it down? HBO would never insult Bob Arum or Richard Schaefer with a weak ass offer like that. They tried to bully GYM and that's why Stevenson went to Haymon. If Duva was a real promoter she would've sided with Stevenson once Haymon got on board. They could've squeezed HBO for another mil at least. But she's so desperate to get off the NBCSports Network she wouldn't make any waves with HBO.

You knock Fonfara however he's better than anybody Kovalev beat. He's long, durable, and technical. IMO he's the 3rd best light heavy behind Stevenson and Kovalev. Pascal is a good fighter but he's slowing down physically. And he's not technical enough to get by on his skills alone. Fonfara is long and throws straight punches. I remember Kovalev trying to fight him after the Stevenson fight, but Haymon ****ed blocked Kovalev by signing Fonfara.

"Kathy Duva is scared. She is smart. She protects Kovalev."

yeah adonis you big dummy what do you expect! they all do that... Sheesh!

So 2 top tenner, but one is a scrub with multiple bad losses including shutout to Cleverly, and other straight from espn2, where he was getting outclassed by a shot Campillo. Pascal and Hopkins were there for him ti fight, but hed rather fight bums for less money. That's why nobody's tuning in. But maybe they will for Karpency cause hes a step up from last 2 fights lol.
