    Michel liked the deal and said it was very fair to Stevenson.

    If you get a very fair deal for a fight you want to make, you accept it.

    You DON'T bring up a new condition, knowing it will cause problems for the other side. Especially if that new condition does not benifit your fighter in any way.

    How can a joint PPV not be the very fairest option ?

    You do realize that if you support HBO on this one..... then, THEY WILL DO IT AGAIN!

    You do know that right ?

    When you support an entity who is only concerned about market share and profit margins, OVER a fighter, you are setting a dangerous precedent.

    I watched a whole pile of ****house people accept/support manny-weight.

    Because of that, now we got canelo-weight.

    If you guys put boxing first, for a change, you will not support HBO on this.

    How could a joint PPV not be the very fairest option ?

      If you think it's ok for him to block a fight that so many fans want to see, and that, apparently, both fighters want to happen, in order to punish Duva for pulling out of a purse bid last year, then fair enough.

      But stop pretending to be a boxing fan.
      How the fk would you know ?

      Don't be ridiculous.

      The holdup is HBO, they could simply agree to shared rights.

      If they cannot agree to shared rights on this fight, then they will never agree to shared rights, and now we got a grand-canyon sized roadblock preventing future fights.

      Why can't you guys support boxing for once instead of fixating on your childish petty wars?

        Boycott HBO.

        Cancel your subscription, even temporarily.

        Vote with your feet.

        If HBO are not prepared to put boxing ahead of their profit margin, go find someone who will.

        HBO just gave boxing fans the bird, how can you all not see it ?





        Fk you lot, we aren't getting what we want, so fk boxing, and fk the fans.

          Isn't that exactly what Haymon is doing by trying to get ST involved in this fight?

          Will ST pocketing a slice of the profits benifit anybody involved except ST and Haymon?

          HBO is funding the fight along with ME, and it isn't a big enough fight to be worth their while if they have to share the PPV revenue with anybody else.

          It's not like ST reaches customers HBO can't reach. Haymon knows that and he knows full well that HBO won't agree to share the PPV income.

          That's the only reason the shady **** told Michel to go back and ask for it.

          I don't support any network over another, but I would love to see this fight. And because of an extra complication being brought up after Michel and Duva had reached a deal they were both happy with, I'm not going to be seeing it.

          That's all I need to know.

          I don't see what catchweights have to do with this, but as I've said many times before, they have been part of boxing from day one. But not for mandatory defences.

          Even Manny and Floyd, the 2 biggest A side divas the sport has ever known, never stooped as low as that.

            Put it this way.....
            ..... the position that you are taking/supporting, just KILLED the fight.

            Your position, just FAILED !!

            And not only that, it gives HBO carte blanche to do the exact same thing next time.

            How/why, could you possibly support that ?

            A prosperous partnership, is what is required in order for the sport of boxing to flourish.

            1) your position just killed the fight, and future fights

            2) there is NO REASON WHATSOEVER why a joint venture cannot happen

            How can you possibly ignore those 2 points ?

            WHY would you possibly want to ignore those 2 points ?

            WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY ?????

            WTF ?

            Why is it, that you guys, NEVER support boxing, EVER !!

            You simply have to participate in your childish mini-wars, at the expense of fighters, and at the expense of the sport.

            I have been following this sport for over 3 decades, and I have NEVER seen fans like that until Pacquiao came along.

                    Stevenson just needs to give what Fonfara is asking to make the rematch possible. Stop being too greedy and make the rematch happen.

                    Kovalev/Stevenson will never happen. Let's move on guys.

                      Fonfara has the bad end of the stick... He's the one who has to not being too greedy... As for Duva, she knows she can't sell anything on her own and has her hands tied by HBO ...

                      Only thing she can do is to get on her knees and beg GYM and Montreal to be kind enough to give another good payday to her protegee... Until then she'll just show how bad she is at making things happen in a profitable way...
