Comments Thread For: Kovalev: Stevenson Avoiding Me, Want His Belt For My Collection

[BKM-]

The most badass and hungry champion in the sport wants to completely unify all the titles and prove he's the best and he isn't allowed. That's what's wrong with the sport.

haymon's empire is collapsing fast. soon stevenson and haymon will be forced to accept the fight on hbo's terms. all and all a brilliant strategy by hbo/duva. kinda like the cold war. made the soviet union bankrupt themselves with the arms race until they couldn't pay anymore.

yep, and i think we all know why haymon refuses to show his face or do interviews, because he would incriminate himself, the whole thing is like a money laundering scam.
anyone know where that 500+ million went?

Stevenson will fight 2-3 more can's on PBC and then retire, he probobly wont mind either as he must know kovalev destroys him in a couple of rounds.

Exactly, Adonis seems to really want the fight too and that 50-50 deal is the only way this fight would happen imo, but Hbo doesn't want any of that. Instead they bash Adonis and humiliate him in front of their audience.

Na bro adonis dont want it ..he hasnr fought on showtime for over a year ...and fought in like 2-3 diffenent channels if im not mistaken why does this fight have to happen on showtime so badly?

If Kovalev wants his belt, why did he keep walking away from purse bids?

*insert bull**** business business networks blah blah blah that isn't a real excuse here*

Stevenson may have ruined the fight before, but it's Kovalev's side that is stopping it now.

And Duva is the one who asked for a purse bid. WASTED everyone's time and $$$. Should of honored the bid. I at first blamed Adonis but now like most blame cheap ass Duva...

Because AL Haymon fighters are pretty much banned from HBO. I thought everyone knew that??? They finally are starting to change though now that HBO is ran by different ppl.

there was a purse bid hearing scheduled for April 17 2015. Kathy Duva and Main Events decided to not participate in the purse bid that was ordered by the WBC. Kovalev decided to forfeit his position as mandatory challenger(that he won by defeating Pascal (March 2015)) for Stevenson's WBC belt.

Isn't Kovalev still rocking that WBC Diamond Belt? says so on the site. at any rate, had they participated in the bid, then in theory for the Kovalev fans, he'd have the Lineal innit?

[jwalkr]

Can't believe some of you guys still say that Adonis isn't ducking. That kind of convoluted, dishonest, race based thinking is taking our country and the world in the wrong direction.

[Ham Porter]

Stevenson doesn't have any excuses anymore. PBC is dying, Haymon fighters are now appearing on HBO and he's pretty much irrelevant. There is literally nothing preventing him from fighting Kovalev, but the usual suspects will run to his aid regardless.
