Comments Thread For: Pascal: Sergey Kovalev is a Great Champion, Clean Athlete

[kennethjohn]

Stenvenson HAD a big fan base.

Even people in Quebec are tired of him, and there was almost nobody at his last fight against Bika.

every stevenson fight in canada is a PPV fight and it sells really well.
I'm not arguing that stevenson is good or well liked to americans.
he does make good money.

Don't like him that's fine I'm not telling you to. But he does get paid really well.
the fight vs Tommy Karpency (which we can all agree is a bad fight) was in Toronto instead of Montreal and had a lot of billionaire investors paying 50k for 5-10% of boxers purses and endorsements for life. since it was the first big event in toronto in a long while it did really well. everyone got paid well.

Stevenson is paid well. and while he doesn't have the same base as bute or pascal. stevenson is on sports news in Quebec all the time. (I'm canadian)

You can call him a piece of ****. which is true. A duck that is true. but he does make a lot of money each fight.

Stevenson makes about 2 million a fight vs bums. He has a big fan base in quebec. Haymon gets fighters a lot more money.
Kovalev made 500k vs bhop.
But over 6 million combined in two pascal fights. Pascal fights are promoted in quebec on every french sports channel.
Canadian fighters are making amazing purses.

Great for Canada and the canadian boxers. Stevenson has lost millions by not fighting and sitting back doing little. Pascal is a warrior who should fight more often but against lesser opponents like Chavez Jr. George Groves even.

For not pulling the race card !!!!!!! Waouh !!! Are you talking about Jean Pascal ??

Yeah Pascal. Didnt claim the ref was racist or whatever. Seems to be a spike in the race card lately for fighters who lose in fights or business.

[Lou Cipher]

u do realize u are race baiting right now right?

I dont know exactly what that means but I would guess you think Im trying to start a race argument? That's actually one thing I will not waste time on even on the internet. Just sick of people in Boxing using racism as the excuse for their losses, anonymity, failed business ventures and criminal records. Especially when there are races who suffered persecution much worse than their own.

The first fight between Sergey Kovalev and Jean Pascal ended as an eighth-round stoppage in which Pascal felt the referee should've allowed him to continue. There were no such protests in their rematch, which Kovalev won after punishing Pascal for seven rounds until Pascal's trainer, Freddie Roach, stopped the bout.

If Manny was that classy he would have as many fans as Pascal

Kovalev was tested by VADA from November 2015 to the fight with Pascal in late January 2016.
