    Adonis Stevenson's Promoter Reveals on HBO and Kovalev
    http://www.boxingscene.com/adonis-stevensons-promoter-reveals-on-hbo-kovalev--76193
    Yvon Michel, promoter of WBC light heavyweight champion Adonis Stevenson, sat down with BoxingScene.com to discuss the recent events involving his star fighter and the breakdown of negotiations with HBO for a fall unification with WBO champion Sergey Kovalev. For much of 2013, HBO was showcasing both Stevenson and Kovalev - with the idea of matching them in a high profile fight at some point this year. At the end of January, the discussions between Michel, HBO and Kovalev's promoter Main Events intensified. Both boxers were going to take interim-fights and then face each other on a date in the fall.


    "A few weeks ago, Showtime came in the picture and presented a very lucrative deal to secure the rights to Stevenson-Fonfara. HBO had the ability to match the offer. HBO refused to do so and this past Tuesday they officially passed on the deal - allowing Showtime to pick Stevenson up."

        Did a memo get lost or something & these news just released? Isn't this some months ago ****? Why the f#ck is he randomly mentioning this now? Weird.

        And for anyone following this situation its obvious there is plenty of fault to go around so who cares if its this guys fault this time or that guys fault that time.

            He did fight Fonfara, a guy who would beat both of Kovalev's biggest wins.

                    Except even if he hadn't been a free agent, that's exactly what purse bids were made for, to sort out the promoter-network issues.

                    You fail with an F-
                    No no no! Kovalev was NOT a free agent, he has an exclusive deal with HBO, and has for a long time! Stevenson AND Haymon know this. Stevenson CAN fight on any network, ANY! They knew what they were doing, see through the lies! you're being brain washed! And I'll change that mark to an A+ thank you very much!

                        He demanded that fight, but Kovalev decided to go in another direction. We hope that fight will happen at some point.
                        Nobody cares about facts. The fanboys want to blame it the side they don't like

                        In reality it wasn't even Kovalev's fault either, it's HBO/Duva's fault
