Comments Thread For: Stevenson Open To Facing Kovalev Now or Kovalev-Ward Winner

[kennethjohn]

Stevenson doesn't want the fight.
Duva doesn't want the fight.
Stevenson team doesnt want the fight unless they make a killing

Kovalev actually does want the fight because he'd fight tyson fury if he could.

kovalev too difficult? stevenson managed to destroy hopkins, pascal, and kovalev fights. what was the one constant that killed those fights? stevenson. even now he doenst want to fight fonfarra or alvarez. he's talking about edwin rodriguez.

I kind of agree with this. You can't make excuses forever. Guys like Stevenson/Golovkin/Brook should step up to the plate and start taking those big fights.

Stevenson never killed any Hopkins or Pascal fight. But it's your style to make sh.it up in order to make your point.

oh ok we can play the semantics game. he didn't want to fight them because he didn't like the money being offered for those fights.

Lmao@people still thinking Stevenson wants to fight anyone worth a damn. The guy is a straight b1tch.

What Stevenson's saying about 50/50 and all that in this article isn't accurate.

Main Events and GYM agreed on everything earlier this year, the only stumbling block was the broadcaster. Stevenson wouldn't fight on HBO and that was that.

Because Kovalev would fight on the PBC/SHO networks, right ?

Only option was, is, and will always be :

Purse Bid !

Won't happen anytime soon because Duva/Main Events/HBO are hopeless...

Another option is Stevenson fights him on HBO, the much more prestigious platform with way more boxing viewership

Kovalev would make much more money letting Haymon bringing the numbers though ... That's a PPV fight anywhere you put it, even more than Ward / Kovalev would ever be...

Maybe in Canada. Not to say it wouldn't be more exciting, but nobody is paying for Vargas vs Miura on ppv

Kovalev difficult?? LMAO

Stevenson managed to fail making fights with pascal, Hopkins, and Kovalev. While Kovalev fought pascal twice, Hopkins, and is signed to fight Ward. Only a fool would think Kovalev is the one avoiding it..

i dont think either are hard to deal with..
kovalev is easy to deal with bc he is not a draw and pascal was ppv which would be kovalev's biggest purse and of course he was bside to hopkins no argument at all..

stevenson on the other hand was a victim of golden boy going back to hbo...yes bernard acted like the ibf was breathing down his neck, but the truth is the extension that he applied for was only hbo/goldenboy negotiaions...
..now with pascal..he wanted 50/50 from stevenson...he doenst have a belt and both are a draw in canada...i wouldnt have given it to him either bc he hasnt earned it with big impressive wins as of late...he was meat for either kov or stevenson tbh..

stevenson didnt have to purse hunt like kovalev and give shots based on being a champ with no money behind him..kovalev did but it did make his resume better..

in stevenson case pascal priced himself out and tried to negotiate in the media..and bhop and golden had their on little plan..and bhop got cooned and sacraficed
