HBO turns down Alvarez and Kovalev Rematch

[nubianpiye]

I'm glad **** the HBO boxing team.

lol you calling it a quick stoppage?? Kovalev was done.

Quick stoppage? Can you even read? I never said quick stoppage.

I was pointing out Kovalev exactly what you said. Kovalev fough until he was done and it was stopped.

The other clown said he quit. I never criticized the stoppage.

You just worded it a bit weird is all.

Ah, no prob.

Btw, any links or sources to the claim that HBO doesn’t want the rematch?

[Nay_Sayer]

That seems stupid to me. The first fight was an exciting action packed fight and the rematch should be more of the same. Hbo shows far worse fights all the time.

Alvarez is a Haymon fighter - and HBO knows that he beats Kovalev in the rematch. Why should HBO do Haymon any favors by paying for this fight? Plus, Kovalev is DONE. Why invest good money in a bad product?

[Nay_Sayer]

I see it going to DAZN. Haymon & Showtime have avoided making the Stevenson & Alvarez fight. They have not invested in Alvarez so see him going to DAZN.

That may change in the near future. Alvarez' marketability is considerably more significant now...

How did Kovalev quit when he kept on getting back up and fighting, again and again after getting knocked down several times, until the referee stopped it?

He quit in the Ward rematch..
