    It wasn't ha? Then it was Haymons for stalling trying to get a free title......

    Hopkins Explains Checkmate on Stevenson, Kovalev Deal
    http://www.boxingscene.com/hopkins-explains-checkmate-on-stevenson-kovalev-deal--80628
    By Rick Reeno - Back on July 2nd, BoxingScene.com ran an article where IBF/WBA light heavyweight champion Bernard Hopkins (55-6-2, 32KOs) revealed his intention to face WBO champion Sergey Kovalev (25-0-1, 23KOs) in an HBO televised unification bout. Very few people took the article seriously. Almost everyone in the industry expected Hopkins to face WBC champion Adonis Stevenson (24-1, 20KOs) in the fall. For most of 2013, HBO was building up a unification fight between Kovalev and Stevenson. Earlier this year, Stevenson jumped ship to rival network Showtime, with the obvious goal of facing Hopkins, who at that point was exclusively fighting on their network. Kathy Duva of Main Events, who felt confident that she reached an agreement with promoter Yvon Michel for a Stevenson-Kovalev unification on HBO, filed a federal lawsuit against Michel, Stevenson, Showtime, Stevenson's manager Al Haymon and former Golden Boy CEO Richard Schaefer. Stevenson made his Showtime televised debut on May 24th, and won a twelve round unanimous decision over Andrzej Fonfara. At the time of the BoxingScene article, nearly six weeks after Stevenson's Showtime debut, Hopkins confirmed that not a single "serious" conversation had taken place to make a fall unification with Stevenson.

        Yea I remember that, fun times and why the Kov fight was able to be made.

        So one time the stalling worked out good

                In boxing you can just make stuff up and people will run with it. You got boxing sites taking threads from Reddit and writing stories as if it's the truth. Yvon responded to this story via Tweet. All this guy had to do was call or Tweet Yvon for confirmation but instead he choose to run a story that was told to him by a single source. I dont know if it's laziness or just trying to get clicks on their site.

                        which is all speculation, if that was the case the kov fight would have got signed.. they were just in negotiations

                            It would be a good fight.
