Comments Thread For: Stevenson To Kovalev: Fight Me and You Won't Be Broke!

[Larry the boss]

Kovalev can't take a punch, he can only give it

Neither can take a punch,that why this would be a fun fight...Both hit hard but got **** chins

[Weebler I]

Stevenson isn't fighting anybody. Sukhotsky, Bika and now Karpency.

He has a nerve to come with this b/s.

I'm not sure Kovalev's chin is all that bad. Apart from that one video where he got dropped at 165lbs in the amateurs, I've never seen him genuinely hurt to the head.

The purse bid is basically networks bidding to broadcast the fight and the highest bidder gets to broadcast the fight and give the fighters the respective purses, and of course a fight of this magnitude would be a PPV fight even if it was on PBC.

Duva and her ties to HBO is a major roadblock and because of this the offer is not really open cuz the 2 sides can't agree on a network, which is the most important thing, if Kovalev and his team were dying to make the fight like they claim, they woulda taken the purse bid and told HBO to go screw themselves if they can't pay the fighters good enough, which should be Duva's main goal, getting her fighter the biggest fights and most money, not keeping her relationship with a certain network.

Same **** happened during the Mayweather vs Pacquiao situation, in 2012 before Pacquiao fought Bradley, his contract with Arum was about to run out and Mayweather offered him to sign with Mayweather promotions or Golden Boy and the fight could've been made in a second, talks between Koncz and Mayweather's team also took place at that time, and if Pacquiao's team were really dying to make the fight they would've taken that offer, at the end of the day, a cut was gonna get taken from Pacquiao purse if he was with Arum or with Golden Boy or Mayweather promotions, but apparently they didn't want the fight as bad as they said they did.

The Mayweather Pacquaio thing you've just shat out is pretty biased so its worth completely ignoring

PPV on PBC? Doesnt that take away everything PBC stands for?

[jqSide]

This is how idiotic these Haymon fighters have become. They hide behind their uncle Haymon's dress to avoid fights.

So Pacquiao didn't sign an extension with Arum in 2012?

and then again in 2014?

Hasn't Floyd Mayweather offered Pacquiao to join Mayweather promotions or golden boy promotions?

That was in 2013 and I'm pretty sure the same thing happened in 2012, I just don't have a link to it now.

These are all facts, I didn't make anything up. PBC can make an exception if the fight is big enough and even if it's not a PPV, they will make sure the fighters get paid well as if it was a PPV, that's why there is a purse bid, to make sure the fighters are making the most money possible, there' a reason why a lot of fighters fight on PBC.

Kovaelv has a **** chin??? Come on bro..... His chin ain't titanium or nothing crazy like that but a "**** chin"???

[just the facts]

Ward vs Kovalev is just talk.

No way is Mr Careful going to get in a ring with Krusher!

Trust me, as soon as they start negotiating for real, if they ever do, Ward will start throwing up objections and road blocks and kill the fight.

and here comes the ggg fanboy acting like it was Ward that killed the Ward/ggg fight. Unbiased fan doe

[.:: JSFD26 ::.]

Kovalev can't take a punch, he can only give it

And I suppose Adonis can take a punch?

/facepalm

[jwalkr]

So why did Stevenson pull out of the fight the first time it was made? And why did Stevenson not make the fight with Jean Pascal? Al Haymon is obviously brilliant, as evidenced by this move to force a purse bid that was essentially unacceptable. And Stevenson is obviously a dip****.

[just the facts]

It would have been PPV, so nobody knows how much money would have been generated. Maybe Adonis would have ended up with more than he would have got from Haymon.

Whatever, it would still be the biggest fight and the biggest payday of Stevenson's career, and the offer to do it is still open.

When you get proven wrong your standard answer is "whatever". Unbiased boxing fan doe
