"I wonder if Haymon would be a problem," admitted Duva to 98.5 Sports. "He certainly did everything four years to prevent the fight between Sergey and Stevenson. But I'm always open to negotiate a fair deal."
Kathy Duva is so full of ****!:
April 15, 2015:
But after Stevenson (26-1, 21 KOs), 37, of Montreal, retained the title by one-sided decision against Sakio Bika on April 4, he and promoter Yvon Michel, whom Kovalev and Duva had accused of ducking the fight, professed their desire to make the match, be it to negotiate terms or let it go to a purse bid, where the promoter with the biggest offer would win the promotional rights.
Then Duva announced that she would not participate in the bidding process, which came as a surprise considering how much she dogged Stevenson for supposedly avoiding the fight.
Duva, the one who initially suggested that the WBC make Kovalev the mandatory at the organization's annual convention late last year, said that while she and Kovalev very much want to make the fight, Kovalev is under exclusive contract to HBO, which would not allow him to fight on another network. Stevenson is backed by Haymon, who could bankroll a big bid by Michel and put the fight on Showtime or one of the networks on which his Premier Boxing Champions series appears, such as NBC, CBS or ESPN, whose deal begins in July.
Most believe that if the fight did go a purse bid, Main Events would have no prayer of winning because even if HBO backed the bid it would not be enough to beat Haymon, whose PBC investor war chest is believed to be worth far more than $100 million.
On Tuesday, Duva sent a letter to the WBC and to Michel advising them that she was withdrawing from the purse bid. Had the fight gone to the bid, the fighters would have split the winning figure 50-50 and the winning promoter would control all aspects of the promotion, including all the revenue streams and determining when, where and on what television network the bout would take place.
"We want to make the fight very much and we'd love to make the fight with them on a 50-50 deal," Duva told ESPN.com. "But Sergey is contractually tied to HBO and we can't go to a purse bid. We can't fight the fight if we lose the bid, so there's no point in going to the bid and putting on charade."

We're not spinning anything. Everything we've stated is easily verifiable public information.
Kovalev demanded that Pascal be allowed to "defend" the diamond title. Kovalev demanded that he be made the mandatory if he won the diamond title. Kovalev demanded that a 50/50 purse split be mandated.
The WBC and Stevenson said yes to everything.
Then Kovalev vacated the title and refused to fight.Comment

This would be an interesting fight to see. If it doesn't happen, then we can chalk it up to further evidence that boxing ain't what it used to be...Comment

Sergey Kovalev was one of the first eastern european mogul (with Gennady Golovkin)
The next are already here :
Vasyl Lomachenko
Oleksandr Usyk
Mairis Briedis
Sergey Lipinets
Murat Gassiev
Dmitry Bivol
Oleksandr Gvozdyk
Sergiy Derevyanchenko
Konstantin Ponomarev
Krzysztof Glowacki
Alexander Bes*****
Maxim Dadashev
Maciej Sulecki
......
All of them are undefeated and have tremendous power as usual when coming from that part of the world.
And of course they will have to struggle against the russophobia from one part of the american and anti-white racism from the other part. And above all against the refs and judges biasness.
Boxing is maybe the only international sport where when the ring is located in USA, then the three judges are also american and the referee once again is american !!!!Comment

Kovalev is 1 of the most embarrassingly disgraced fighters in Boxing history,a true coward in every sense of the word.
Its astonishing that the great white hypers continue their mental contortionism to convince themselves that this guy isnt 1 of the biggest cowards in boxing history,he blatantly ducked stevenson,& disgracefully quit vs ward then proceeded to stutter in post fight interview because he couldn't come up with a single excuse,
then after the fight he had his dumb bîtch-scab pûssy promoter come up with excuses 4 him, COWARDS LIKE HIM should be put out to pasture,
Lets not even get into his racist bs .

Yes yes its all a conspiracy against the only race that gets tv deals because they are the same color as the MAJORITY of the western world & ruling class,
the same race that gives hypejobs like 29 yr old lomachenko top p4p status above fighters like 27 yr old canelo with the legit best resume in all of Boxing , or Thurman whos beaten more top opponents than lomas even fought,both are only ranked top 10 by biased white media.
Yet lomas top 3 for beating up 8 tiny midgets smaller than he fought in the olympics & losing to a bum,all while being 29 yrs old, ggg is being called mw king & top p4p 4 "winning" 3 vacant belts by beating bums,& smaller fighters, having fought nobody by age 34, & chasing a career jmw as a career defining fight while ducking ANYONE whos bigger than him,etc.etc.
Yes white fighters sure are oppressed...just like Kovalev who "won" his joke titles by beating a 50 yr old geriatric yet was considered p4p top 3 BEFORE he even fought ward & then he quit like a COWARD, just like the COWARD bîtched out vs the pedo Canadian pimp.Comment
