Comments Thread For: Andre Ward: Stevenson Has To "Ask Haymon" if He Can Fight

[mabulkhair]

[QUOTE=My Low Place;17195988]u must be hurt from reading my posts of the truth...thanks for welcoming us back to 2013...but yea the fight was much bigger, ppv level, and for all 6 belts in the division when kovalev begged for it only to remove hmself from the dealings...

daddy haymon seems better thatn mommy duva[/QUOTE

Hurt...uhhh not really. don't make it sound like Kovalev ducked cuz HBO had it all planned even putting both of them on the same card, but Stevenson went to showtime for more money for the Fonfara fight. Further Kov had a contract with HBO... When Stevenson called him out, Stevenson did not have that contract. Kovalev is loyal...prob could have went to Haymon for more money and Showtime...but he is Loyal to HBO.

Haymond PBC has really screwed up the game this year.....If the fight is made it's going happen on a Monday @ 11:00am on the LOGO channel or some other ****** chiat...smh. Down with PBC

PBC, HBO, and showtime had a really ****ty yr. hopefully boxing rebounds in 2017. There were decent fights but it was a downer of a year. Hopefully Ward/Kov and Lomachenko/Walters are great fights.

Ward would walk through Stevenson

[Motorcity Cobra]

Chickenson ran to Showtime and to daddy Haymon. When asked before if he would fight Kovalev, the classic excuse he used was "if the money was right"

He did not run to Showtime. HBO got cheap and killed the deal. Michel and Haymon were willing to put up their own money to get the fight made and asked HBO to chip in their 1/3 and HBO got cheap. But don't let the facts get in the way of a narrative that makes Stevenson look bad

HBO coulda wrapped up Stevenson 2-fight deal while ago but got really cheap all of a sudden and it looks like it'll come back to haunt them.

"When Al Haymon came on board we were at an impasse. I met with him and both agreed we were going to do the best to keep Adonis with HBO and we set our parameters. After that I flew in to New York and met with Peter Nelson. In that meeting I made an offer that would have closed the overall deal. He told me their offer was the best he could do and [he said regardless] we were not going to get anything better anywhere."

"In his opinion, Showtime had spent all their money on Mayweather. I was persistent and came back 3 times with a lesser request each time. The last offer I made to him was the following: We wanted to pay Stevenson $300,000 more than we were able to pay him with the actual deal, for the Fonfara fight. So Al Haymon was going to take 100K from his pocket, 100k from mine and I requested HBO to add only 100K to the pot."

karpency beat dawson, fonfara turned to be a top 10 lhw that is 6'3 and fought well from range and on the inside vs stevenson..THE SHOWED A BACKFOOT GAME VS CHAVEZ JR...thomas williams jr was kov's number 1 contender until he quit one night, but he bounced back form that with 2 fight of the year type of fights and huge knockouts...and like i predicted he fuggin brought it vs stevenson..

imo williams jr had more that bhop old ass had to offer except the name..HE ACTUALLY CAME TO FIGHT AND ADJUST so he could win...

also fonfara would likely beat up on pascal if bute was doing at 175...

but im sure u'll think this is bs..u shoulddnt..bc i dont bs

I find it hilarious the guy you hype the most is the last legit guy, in my eyes, that Stevenson fought & that we would agree on. And lol on a Dawson W = a guy being a legit guy for Stevenson. Everyone knows Dawson was finished after his weight drop & **** I'm sure some would argue he was done pre-Ward or cuz of the Ward fight specifically even.

I like Stevenson & I think he's worse case the #2 guy in the division right now however you feel about his talent or opposition, but he ain't fought no one anyone should give a f#ck about in years & f#ck his indefinite tune up fighting ass because of that.

Ward hasnt even gotten past Krusher yet and hes already ducking his next fight. What a Turd

false, kovalev extended an expiring contract...2ndly hbo and duva openly said they would not along side of showtime to make the fight...

furthermore they begged for the purse bid while in the contract and they ran whn they got it...so are you calling kovalev and duva uneducated, ******, slow? are you saying they are too shortminded to know that they had a contract when they were begging for the purse bid that they knew they would lose?

"he is loyal to hbo..."
lol and they are loyal to him to the protected him from that big bad man!

ok so beterbiev beats washed up el guapa and enters the top ten right?? isnt a dawson a much better win at this point? im not bias i play truths bro

fonfara priced himself out, bhop priced himself out, pascal priced himself out...wat more do you want in a very top heavy or very young division???

they have said beterbiev is not ready yet...wat do u want??
