If Kovalev loses to Ward will HBO sever ties with him?

[Shaolin Sword]

From my understanding he's very bad at both gate and TV viewership despite being a mean wrecking machine. I hope HBO doesn't sever ties with him and he fades back into obscurity. He's a pleasure to watch, but something tells me he's just not cut out against this improved version of Ward in the rematch. Ward is just too dirty/crafty and isn't susceptible to taking clean shots. This is an uphill fight for Kovalev.
