Well, HBO is really pushing for Kovalev vs Ward as the big money fight. They're basically just saying **** Stevenson, he had his chance and went the other way.
HBO just slayed Adonis Stevenson!!!

Did you listen to the Showtime team after Jacobs beat Quillin and how they tried to belittle GGG? The only one that kept it real was Bernstein by saying Quillin is an Andy Murray level fighter. Hate on HBO all you want, but Showtime does the same exact crap. If what happened last night was on Showtime, I'd be willing to bet their crew would've spun that as Kovalev ducking.

Stevenson was in attendance. The powers to be won't let this fight happen because who ever loses will be the financial loss for what ever promotional/network company.
Stevenson has to fight somebody of note in his next fight. There are some great match ups that can be done at 175Comment

It's not realistic why should they push for it? Adonis is PBC enough said.Comment

Good thing HBO is nowhere near the reason the fight hasn't happened yet.Comment

It's not just HBO that have bad mouthed Stevenson, even Pascal admitted to attempting to make a fight with him a few times and called him some choice names including aduckin Chickenson.
Pascal beat Stevenson twice in the ammys (not that it matters in the pros) but he cited that as the reason Stevenson wanted no part of him.
Not sure here if Stevenson will fight Alvarez or even a re with Fonfara.
A person can only run with "I'm the real champ" for so long.Comment

Hopkins was apparently looking for 70/30 on the money, Pascal wanted beyond 50/50 for a fight that he was only mandated to get 25/75, and Kovalev and his camp walked away from a 50/50 split of the take, for fear of offending "the almighty HBO".He also punked off pascal who tried to give him props on the fight lol. I honestly don't understand the people who are upset with HBO for dismissing him and not pushing for the fight. Stevenson had a chance to fight Hopkins, Kovalev, pascal, and fought none of them. The guy is a joke and his words mean nothing.
