Comments Thread For: Kovalev's Promoter Mocks Stevenson On Social Media

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

The battle between light heavyweight champions Sergey Kovalev and Adonis Stevenson continued Tuesday when Kovalev’s promoter, Main Events, mocked Stevenson on Twitter.

Main Events posted a Vine video in which it wished Stevenson a “Happy 38th Birthday.” In it, an unidentified person wearing a chicken suit, boxing gloves and replica of Stevenson’s trademark Superman cape blows out candles on a cake, on which the message, Happy Birthday Adonis, was written.

Stevenson seems to show no intention of taking anymore tough fights, living off a KO victory over a damaged Chad Dawson from 3 years ago.

Per N.Duva on twitter, when ME got Kovalev the purse bid against Stevenson, their plan was to take the Mohammedi fight first which would allow them an out with HBO in case Haymon won the purse bid and HBO could've turned down the fight due to it being higher than they were willing to pay allowing Haymon to put it on Showtime or PBC. That's the reason GYM moved up the purse bid date in order to either force ME to drop out of the purse bid or go into it knowing the could easily outbid anything HBO would offer, move the fight off HBO forcing Kovalev to then decline.

@snboxing Why do you think they pushed up the date of the purse bid while both fighters had upcoming bouts and refused to negotiate?

@snboxing First, we asked to be made the WBC mandatory after the IBF mandatory. Wouldn***39;t have been an issue then.

@snboxing No, but if the winner agreed to offer the fight to HBO on the winning terms, HBO either would***39;ve had to pay it or let it go.

@snboxing Not in July! In April. HBO***39;s matching right would***39;ve been exhausted with the Mohammedi fight.

@snboxing We tried to make the fight. They had the opportunity to bid networks against each other and didn***39;t take it.

— Nicole Duva (@nicoleduva) September 22, 2015

@snboxing Yes, to get out of doing the fight. That is my point.

— Nicole Duva (@nicoleduva) September 22, 2015

@snboxing No, it really isn***39;t. They knew if they moved up the date it would get them out of the fight. It worked.

Duva just showed how Haymon could make the fight. He has to offer it to HBO, if HBO declines he's free to move it anywhere he wants. Balls in their court.
