HBO turns down Alvarez and Kovalev Rematch

They want to do the bare minimum in boxing. Kovalev one of the guys they have featured is now perceived to be done so they want no part of this fight.
How about put this with Stevenson/Gvozdyk? Or too expensive for that type of card? If not, you could bet your money Hearn will go hard after this fight. Could lead to a unification bout with his fighter Beterbiev.

Put it on the Stevenson/Gvozdyk card and Gvozdyk wins, you end up with the champions split all over the place. No chance of a WBSS.
Bivol - HBO or Facebook, lol.
Alvarez - Showtime
Beterbiev - DAZN
Gvozdyk - ESPN
Nightmare situation

All of those guys would be able to enter the WBSS tournament. Plus, I don't see Jack or his team turning it down just because of SHO. Gvozdyk is the one I'm not sure about as Arum doesn't want to give any of his fighters rights up. Top Rank needs as many cards as possible, and Arum would hate to lose Gvozdyk on DAZN.

34 days left for Mainevent to make an offer for the rematch, they still havent officially done it, wonder if 34 days is more than enough time to get a new network for the fight. (date must be before feb 4)
