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

[just the facts]

Another article that is flat out wrong because Main Events never asked for a purse bid. Are these guys professionals??

Technically you're right but what team Kovalev did was petition the WBC for a number one ranking. Thinking this fight could get made this WBC complied. Duva thought Stevensons team would balk and Kovalev would pick up the vacant WBC belt. Duva got out played here, team Steveson said let's go to purse bid. Duva knew that even with HBO money she couldn't out bid Haymon. She walked away.

When the Kovalev bandwagon was in full stride and you ******s were happily abusing Stevenson..... did you cry once it became public knowledge that Kovalev ducked the purse bid?

The same situation with Golovkin..... when Gennady blatantly ducked Ward with that ridiculous catchweight demand of 164..... did you cry when it became obvious that your little world was caving in?

And what about when Garcia beat Matthyse, was that another tearful experience for ya?

What about when Algieri beat Provodnikov ?

What about when Marquez KTFO6 ?

How many times must your hypejob girlfriends have their knickers publicly removed, before you smarten up and stop running with hype?

You ALWAYS fail to answer every point put forward, then go on tangents or spin in circles. That's cause you're unable to carry an argument, being ****** as a rock

Again idiot, forget the purse bid, Kovalev exclusive HBO contract prevents that. Stevenson is welcome to fight Kovalev on HBO for career best money anytime. Why won't he? Cause he'd rather take on ZERO risk bums for much less money and keep milking his belt

That's right, Duva got played. So what now? Face Kovalev on HBO for career best purse, or more bums for much less money. What's your guess?

I'm a troll? Now that's funny!

Yeah, I write the same thing in every Kovakev/Stevenson thread, and it's always in response to the same lies and bull**** posted over and over again by the Haymon/PBC puppets.

HBO may not be the only outlet willing to put up money for big fights, but it's the only one Kovalev can fight on.

You know that and so does Haymon, which is why he "advised" Gym and Adonis to request an expidited purse bid, instead of negotiating with Duva.

He wasn't trying to get more money for Stevenson, he was getting him out of fighting Kovalev.

Those are the facts and no amount of name calling by you is going to change them.

I don't know if you are a troll but you sure as hell aren't the unbiased boxing fan you claim to be

Stevenson just made that 3 mil for Bika right? Kovalev won't see that amount unless he is facing a Canadian fighter. The best deal they could get would be on regular TV. A unification will be easy to sell advertisement for. HBO is only paying Kovalev. If you look at his purses aside from the Pascal fight it is not even that close. 50/50 on what ever Haymon and his investors put up gets the fighters the most money, HBO get Main Events the most money.

It was from a Canadian newspaper, nowhere did it say USD. So its in Canadian dollars. Still good money no doubt, but nowhere near what he'd get for Kovalev on HBO.

Yeah no **** Canadian stars bring more money than a guy like Kovalev with no built in fanbase. So its on Stevenson for frittering it away and getting poor numbers and money compared to what he'd get if he was fighting live bodies. All his ratings since leaving HBO have been pathetic. His last bout draw under 5k, the one prior 6k. That's sad for Canada's only champ. Hell no belt Pascal can draw more, cause hes got the respect of Canadian fans

Because the alternative is more bums for less money, fcukwit. I just explained this, but youre dumb as a rock

Unless Kovalev can land a Ward fight (remember him? The guy ggg refused to fight), he has the same collection of bums as Steveson and no one is over paying him. Kov is gonna make half the money beating up the same level of fighters

Well no ****, Montreal is a boxing mecca, and Quebec champs make bundles and draw huge crowds. Unless it's Stevenson, who's recognized as a fraud even in his hometown

I kinda remember Ward, he's the guy that beat Froch 4 years ago, right. Then passed on fighting Ggg when HBO came calling. Hope to see him in a good fight soon, how about Kovalev? Oh I forget, that needs to be built up lol. What's Periban up to?

[SkillspayBills]

This fight will definitely never happen. I don't want to talk about it anymore.

Pick your dummy up off the floor and go home to Mummy, son. She'll give you a hug and a nice cup of warm milk, and everything will be ok ....

Let me guess, another Pac/Provo/Matty/GGG/Kova fan.

Right, so the two things that Kovalev is hiding behind are.....

* Duva's skirt
* HBO deal

Gotcha !

So.....
Boxing fans, support the fighters.....
Fighters, support their promoter.....
And HeroBando supports TV networks giving fighters exclusive contracts.

When you have finished examing the TV deal, gate sales, numbers, promoters, managers, etc..... do you ever actually watch the fight?
