Yvon Michel was happy with the deal Stephenson had been offered. He didn't propose a shared PPV while negotiating with Duva, and I presume that was because he knew it would be a deal breaker.

That led to the initial Golden Boy push out, that led to the disparaging of Floyd Mayweather Jr, that's led to Duva running from the Stevenson fight, that's led to K2 paying Jacobs his price within days of the bid, etc.
HBO wasn't willing to sign Stevenson to a longterm deal (like they did with Kovalev) that Stevenson was ready to accept, GYM went out to the open market and find Stevenson a far better deal with Showtime, GYM offered HBO the chance to match said deal, and HBO passed.
HBO is no longer the only broadcaster putting significant money behind boxing, and that's ****ed over their "take our offer or walk" proposal that's driven their boxing focus for the last 15 years.

but let's insinuate that Haymon is at fault, because..... well, just because
Kovalev aint scared of Stevenson, but he did (directly or indirectly) avoid that fight..... unless Duva works for Stevenson?
