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

[Cinci Champ]

Both have ducked each other.

Split should be 50/50

which is what the purse bid would of been since it was a unification it took all the drama out of it

50/50 on HBO is still on the table

The WBC has already agreed to this split after it goes to a purse bid. I wonder what he making at HBO that would prevent him from facing Stevenson possibly in Vegas and on Canadian PPV.

If Haymon wins it will be on free TV with a chance for millions of new viewers to see these guys in the ring.

Look how much each guy made in there last fight:

Mohammedi trainer Abel Sanchez said Mohammedi, who earned a career-high purse of $270,000 to Kovalev's $750,000 (plus additional money from Russian television), was overwhelmed by the big moment of his biggest fight.

Stevenson, 25-1 with 21 knockouts, reportedly will earn a purse in the $3-million range against Bika. It has been suggested Kovalev and Pascal, combined, will total that figure, although that could change contingent on pay-per-view sales.

This is worse than Manny not taking a 50/50 because of a drug test. A purse bid gets them both a lot more money right?

The biggest purse for both fighters would have come through the purse bid process, you remember the one Kathy Duva walked away from. Unbiased fan doe

Yeah lets just forget that Stevenson literally ran from Kovalev when that fight was primed and ready to go...remember that? Remember neither had an opponent and HBO was pushing for it only for Stevenson to run to Showtime to face a lesser opponent? Unbiased fan doe

Pascal and Kovalev split 6m on HBO. Purse bid is not an option since Kovalev has an exclusive deal with HBO. The best money available to Stevenson is vs Kovalev on HBO, but as his track record proves, he'd rather fight bums for much less

Ward had his knees buckled in the sixth round by 'Tomato Can Smith'. Ward's own home town arena was not even half full. Smith had lost his two previous fights. If Ward is the man he says he is, he will fight Kovalev, for Kovalev has already said ''bring it on''. I think Ward's time has come and gone.

So it's ok for ward to go up but ***** ass 3G can't go up
...hypocrisy...wars will beat both ...kovelev was rocked by the Canadian fraud ...so who cares neither have touched the ground ...it's boxing anyone can get rocked

They both fought bums ....they are both full of shhhit

[just the facts]

Nothing worse than a fighter talking **** about another fighter yet has absolutely no intention of fighting him. That truly is the definition of a coward

Are you calling ggg a coward?

[kennethjohn]

Stevenson could earn the biggest purse of his entire career if he fought Kovalev on HBO.

He could very likely negotiate himself a bigger share of the money than 50%, if he was willing to do it.

the same stevenson who made 2 million fighting a bum?

how much more would hbo pay a fighter who makes over a million every fight
