Comments Thread For: Kovalev's Promoter Targets Stevenson Clash For June

[PunchyPotorff]

Haymon's job is to do what's best for his client, not what's best for his clients Promoter. Signing an exclusive deal with HBO was what's best for Main Event, not Kovalev. I blame Klimas for this fight never taking place. Haymon should not let his fighter take less money than what he can make in order to fulfill another fighters exclusive TV deal. If HBO and ME come with that real money we'll see the fight. The fight should've been made earlier this year with the purse bid which was before Kovalev signed an exclusive deal with HBO. HBO had right of first refusal for his next fight, which was the mandatory against Mohammedi, then he was free to fight Stevenson anywhere. So don't blame Haymon for doing his job if he terms aint right.

But you can't blame Duva for not wanting to ruffle HBO's feathers either.

Of course Kathy is trying to make it look like it's all Haymon. It's her. She moved kov away from the fight last year and will do so again this year to not risk the ward payday. She also wouldn't be allowed to risk ruining the big fight HBO has planned. This is just preemptive bullshit to justify the easy Pascal rematch and the even easier next fight before ward. Actually, Kov might not fight between Pascal and ward and this allows Kathy to act like it's Haymon making her make the decision. Next it will be fight has to be on HBO if this smokescreen doesn't work. She's a lying ****.

Stay classy there Mr. Misogynist.

Did you read the article?

Main Event and GYM just agreed on all terms, terms which Haymon set.

If it doesn't happen, it's because Haymon won't ever allow it. When Haymon had Quillin turn down $1.4mill and vacate his title, it wasn't in Quillin's best interest. It was Haymon protecting his assets from competitors.

Come on man, how long you been following boxing?

Duva is the same person who begged the WBC for a purse bid. Then, when she got it, refused to participate in it.

I take anything she says with a grain of salt.

wrong. remember when he made quillin turn down 1.4 million and he fought for 500k instead? he does what he thinks is best for him and if his clients lose out on money so be it. he won't let them fight on hbo even if it is the best offer.
