Comments Thread For: Adonis Stevenson: I Want To Be Undisputed Champion

So many excuses. It's not HBO that's stopping this fight, its Stevenson. He can get it on HBO anytime for career high purse, and smash his streak of lousy ratings and attendance. But, the risk is great and he'd rather milk the belt

fight does more on a network bid, hbo purses arent high when you look at 2015. they practically bled the canadian market to get a 6mill purse for the pascal fight. kov only followed up with 750k for the mohammedi fight in vegas with pascal on his undercard. on a open market, kovalev stevenson generates more than 6mill for the undisputed lhw title.

What the hell is wrong with this guy Stevenson? When did he grow balls? Now he's acting like Kovalev is running from the fight when he clearly is the reason it didn't happen already. Kovalev was calling for it after every fight when they were on double headers and when anybody asked Stevenson he always had an excuse and that it wasn't time. Now his whole story is different. He said it live on his post fight interviews so people need to stop being so naive and forgetful so these guys can stop with the nonsense of always lying to the fans like idiots.

Sounds just like khan when Bradley was calling him out for 2 years and khan had a million excuses and all of a sudden he wants to fight when he knew Bradley wasn't taking any fights while he waits out his contract. These guys are liars and need to be called out for it.

Back to Kovalev and Stevenson, there was nothing stopping it before and there was money to be made for both because of how impressive they both looked. Now Kovalev is the lone star cuz he's the more active and more impressive looking of the 2.

considering fonfara have cleverly next i got fonfara by stoppage. beterbiev vs barrera will be good test for both guys and stevenson has hand picked guy he should get rid of, only thing that worries me is if chilemba beats alvarez will duva let chilemba fight stevenson.

i highly doubt we even see barrera vs artur...duva is going to let him fight on PBC? i doubt it..when she doesnt win the purse bid she'll pull out like me when i smash bit8ches raw...this day and age u have to be ****** to sign long term deals with anyone other than haymon if u worried about getting the best fights/opportunities..even when u're opportunities arent good with haymon u get paid

hbo tried to match that by showing they can give ggg 1.75 to fight monroe...the failed when the told u the next fight they need your ppv dollars

Pretty sure the 6m for Kov vs Pascal is far more than any Pbc purse yet. Open market is not a possibility, HBO is. It's Stevenson's decision, but we all know what his preference is, lesser purses for zero risk

hbo didnt do that...canadian ppv did...kovalev has got 500k and now 750k from hbo..without the canadian ppv his purse would have been well under 2million

help that chick is about to sit around and watch her entire stable get screwed bc she used the "stevenson ducking kovalev" hype to get an hbo deal with kov..wat she didnt know is when hbo has one of your stable they prefer all of your stable....just ask top rank...and ask golden boy...thats why hbo shipped them off to showtime

these coksuckers only see race...not business sense..they expect stevenson to be the big dumb gorilla that kovalev called him..and they expect Al to be his newborn nephew that he's showing the ropes to....NOPE! hbo can suck it with their slave contracts in boxing!

Sure, the Canadian Ppv can be very lucrative for big fights vs big names, and absolute **** for the scrubs Stevenson's been fighting. His choice
