Comments Thread For: Stiverne Says Team Povetkin's Claim of Low Ratio is Irrelevant

[joe strong]

Wasn't Stiverne going to get $1.75 mil for this fight? He should have gone through with it. I doubt he ever gets a pay day like that the rest of his career.

I think it was around that mark. Does he still get that purse if the fight is not sanctioned as an eliminator? That is a good question. That was a nice chunk of change to pass on but he was advised by his promoter & lawyer to not go through with the fight. I'm assuming King will pursue damages since he had to pay 1.6 million to Ryabinsky after Jones failed the test prior to the Lebedev rematch. He could recoup some money & still get another decent check in Stiverne's eliminator which will probably be against Eddie Hearn's fighter Dillian Whyte. After Whyte's win over Chisora there could be a lucrative event for a Stiverne/Whyte fight in England & not to mention Dillian Whyte looks a whole lot easier to beat than Povetkin in my opinion. If He get's past Whyte he has another 7 digit check to cash against Wilder. Don King was the puppet master behind the decision not to fight.

He's not the reason the fight was not sanctioned.

Bermain drank an over the counter energy drink...

You can eat a poppyseed muffin and have traces of opium in your system (thanks, Seinfeld!). Stiverne didn't want this fight, and I'm guessing that King told him they'd make him the interim champion if he walked. Then it was announced that he'd have to face someone for the title and that's not how it worked. So King probably cost him time and money here. They jetted pretty fast for a .000000001 finding.

It was my understanding that no one new what the percentage found was until afterwards. I don't know, I could be getting the stories mixed up. But I know Stiverne was advised not to fight, so what do you do? Someone test positive and then the fight is no longer sanctioned. Is it worth fighting if it's not sanctioned? I assume that he would still get paid, but it wouldn't count as an eliminator. May be too risky for no reward.

WHY? Because Povetkin is a real man, with balls; you are a chubby bytch with a vagina.

You've seen Povetkin's balls and Stiverne's snatch?

Creep.

Stiverne's "dirty" test was from a 5 hr energy drink he took right in front of the tester. It was quickly investigated and confirmed. It was not a steriod type drug like Povetkin took, and is the reason why they fined Stiverne and decided to still sanction the fight.

Sure it was - but "rules are rules," right?

If Povetkin didn't want to go forward, that would have been within his right, and I'm sure the WBC wouldn't have penalized him.

He was fined 75k for it - so yeah "no big deal for Stiverne"!

RULES ARE RULES, like he said, right?

Hahah he's a big fat hoe!! What a bytch!

Under the rules of VADA, you're responsible for what goes in your in body (LIKE HE HIMSELF QUOTED!), "rules are rules," so it doesn't matter if the percentage found in someone's body was .000000001, well below any threshold that you'd find in drug tests, or if it was 100 nanogram/mL. Cause like this fat bytch said - RULES ARE RULES!

The fight was still sanctioned and went ahead cause Povetkin didn't protest.

He's not a big fat hoe like Stiverne either, doe!!

Creep.

It's sort of like former Supreme Court Justice Potter Steward said, when determining the merits of nudity for "artistry," vs. **** - "I know it when I see it."

So by the actions of one real man, who doesn't protest, and goes ahead with the fight VS. the actions of a man with a kinky wig of pubes that looks like a manatee whose skin was crisped with a blow torch - regarding their manhood, or lack thereof - "I KNOW IT WHEN I SEE IT."

So one can safely make these determinations without literally seeing one's genitalia.

That's all! Thanks, though!

I think Stiverne failed for a energy drink which was confirmed & he paid a $75000 fine. Povetkin failed for a PED. I like Povetkin & was pretty impressed with his comeback from the Klitschko loss. He beat 5 good fighters but unfortunately it looks like he did it cheating. 2 failed tests not one. 2 different PEDS & I don't care about the first failed test. He got a mulligan after the investigation but the 2nd failed test is what it is. So if Stiverne fights anyway & gets hurt regardless of winning or losing he would be out his opportunity. He could still get paid if a lawsuit happens as that seems to be what follows a Ryabinsky card that is cancelled due to a failed drug test. He would also not lose his ranking or shot at another final eliminator. He was advised not to fight by his lawyer & promoter.

No - Stiverne tested positive for a banned substance per the rules of VADA, just like Povetkin.

The fight went ahead as sanctioned, because Povetkin did not protest.

I'm sure if Stiverne didn't protest, the fight would have went ahead as forward, and the WBC would have determined later, had Stiverne had lost, whether or not he should lose his position in the WBC per the failed drug test.

If they determined the amount was so low, that it could have been from a tainted substance, or really come from anywhere - then Stiverne still got paid, and HIS MANHOOD would be intact.

Nope - he's a manatee that has had a blowtorch taken to it, with a wig of kinky pubes and a vagina.

He's dead to me as a boxer. After this thread, I will not recognize his existence. No respect for a man that is GIVEN A SECOND CHANCE BY HIS OPPONENT! Only for you to pull out, and not grant that same respect.
