Comments Thread For: Kovalev's Manager Reveals The Terms For Stevenson Unification

[Scipio2009]

Kovalev is still the A- side compared with Stevenson lol...another deluded fool has popped up ....who's Stevenson fighting in November and who's kovalev bongo ?

Based on what? Kovalev doesn't sell tickets anywhere.

If Andre Ward, for his March fight and with HBO marketing the fight on TV, is able to bring in a $1m gate, what say is Kovalev going to have about placing the show elsewhere?

If things go to plan, Stevenson-Alvarez happens in April(likely on Showtime), before Stevenson-Fonfara II happens in November. I'll be tuning in for Kovalev-Ward (likely at a bar, as I cancelled HBO years ago; will be buying tickets to Ward-Barrera once they get announced), but I have almost no doubt that, sans a massive site fee, Stevenson-Fonfara II has a far bigger gate than Kovalev-Ward does in Vegas (Roc Nation, if allowed to lead things, being based in New York would lead them to put extra weight behind a fight from Barclays Center).

Ward - kovalev...golovkin - canelo Pacquaio - Bradley still beats any fight PBC has lined up so far this year and then there's others to be announced....AND Gonzalez that's makes almost the top 10 p4p in the world....ohh yeah you have broner vs pheophane

Ward-Kovalev
Canelo-Golovkin (keep dreaming, lol)
Pacquiao-Bradley

space it however you want, you're talking about three fight cards, clown.

So if Khan can fight on HBO why can't Stevenson? Why can't Jacobs and so on? Is Khan a unique circumstance or does it simply boil down to the fighter?

Would hold off on beating your chest until the type of money that Khan is getting gets leaked.

Stevenson and his camp are minding his money; they know what they've got with Stevenson, and everyone's bought in to chase down whatever money is available. Have no doubt that Jacobs will do the same thing when negotiations for his next fight come up; with Barclays, Showtime, and other sponsors in his corner, Jacobs and his camp will weigh out the full package.

Trolling....kovalev is the number 1 light heavyweight in the world......Stevenson is irrelevant now...his stock has dropped..he's fighting nobodies and he's pretty much at the tale end of his career ...kovalev on the other hand will fight in June and the big one against ward which has everybody geared up for in November ......your all here say..if when why how many that's you...actions speak louder than words and Stevenson has provided no action just silly pimping with his black suit and purple tie...Idontwantthis chickenson is has no options like he had in the table for kovalev and he again chickened out....here chickyyyy chickyyyyy

Ward-Kovalev

Add canelo and Khan to that now...and were only in February ...who's broner fighting again ?

so how pissed are you that Dominic Wade is turning his back on Showtime and Shobox who gave him his only exposure to fight GGG on HBO and on Khan for fighting Canelo on HBO ppv without Showtimes involvement when he fought last on Showtime exactly one day after Adonis Stevenson. Based on all of your other showtime fan boy actions you must be really pissed today lololol

Dominic Wade and his camp are taking their shot; he's been a pro for 6 years, has had 18 fights, just stepped up to fringe world level opponents, the IBF mandatory opportunity fell to him, and the offer was apparently right, so his camp said "why not"?

Experience is in doubt, but Wade will walk into the ring as the bigger man and longer man, with effective use of his jab (he doesn't move as good as I'd like to see, and I have doubts about how big his power is).

Wade was 1-2 fights away from being in the same spot anyway, so his team took the chance; if he's successful, the WBA/IBF/WBC 160 titles head off HBO (you can't book options on a mandatory defense). If he's not successful, as long as he doesn't get routed, Wade took the jump a little early, his camp takes a step back, and you put him in the ring with other guys about Sam Soliman's level

Kovalev sold maybe 1k tickets for his fight against Mohammedi; you can rant about whatever you want to rant about, the objective proof of the matter is you're wrong.

Stevenson will fight Alvarez in April, and will likely fight Fonfara again in November, and end up making more money for those two fights than what Kovalev makes in his three.

You keep talking about all of these options that Kovalev has , yet I bet you can't even point to three fights that Kovalev can look forward to having, especially if he doesn't go back to the Pascal well again for another unnecessary fight.

I don't blame him for taking the shot. I would too if I was him. I was mentioning the fact that he was built on shobox and that Khan last fought on Showtime one day after Stevenson and so many keyboard warriors were ecstatic that stevenson walked away when Sho wasn't cut into an hbo ppv fight yet they are silent when Khan is doing exactly what was asked of stevenson and Wade is doing the same thing on regular hbo instead of hbo ppv.

Add canelo and Khan to that now...and were only in February ...who's broner fighting again ?

Cong****, four cards. how about you suggest another two for HBO

Showtime:
Jan: Wilder-Szpilka
Feb: Frampton-Quigg/LSC-Martinez
Mar: Thurman-Porter (CBS), Brook-Bizier, Broner-Theophane
Apr: Jack-ChavezJr, Stevenson-Alvarez
May:
June: Wilder-Povetkin

and that's not even the full schedule, as things will get filled in.

After March those fights aren't even done deals. Wilder likely won't fight Povetkin.

You forgot after the two hbo cards in march they have Pac-Bradley and GGG-Wade in April and Canelo-Khan in May so those plus the 4 already done for Jan-March is 7 for hbo
