Forget about the purse bid. Let's go back to when the fight was in Adonis's lap. He didn't take it, instead he ran to Haymon and Showtime. The purse bid was Haymon's checkmate and the only thing Adonis can use to save face. He ducked the HBO fight before the BS.

No matter how much you may dislike him Stevenson is right, and a fight between the two on Canadian ppv brings in faarrrr more money than HBO. Especially with Adonis name on the bill.
Kovalev really only has the belts he got from Hopkins as ammo. Stevenson is the money, no way around it. He is also the name and has arguably the better resume.Comment

HBO had the rights to match the stevenson offer that showtime made, why didn't they? and when HBO tried to spin it, GYM exposed those emails.Comment

both of these sides are playing politics, its gonna be interesting in 2016 to see who ends up caving in, duva and haymon are on a collision course unless kovalev loses or goes up in weight, haymon has too many guys spread around the LHW division, stevenson, rodriguez, browne, alvarez, beterbiev, fonfara even bummass chavez jr.Comment

hopkins ducks him kovalev ducks him and we blame him for fighting top ten guys? too bad he's not ggg he'd be number 1 on the p4p list...fonfara beats hopkins and pascal imo
