Comments Thread For: Adonis Stevenson's Promoter Reveals on HBO and Kovalev

[DoktorSleepless]

That's what Yvon Michel has been saying the whole time too, that Stevenson hadn't signed the contract. That part appears to be true then since Duva confirms it.

Yeah, but the lack of a signature does not mean that Stevenson was not in agreement at some point and that Main events did not get confirmation of Stevenson's agreement. Contracts are sometimes not even signed until the day before the fight. A signature is not the be-all and end-all if Main events can prove Stevenson agreed. Of course, Main Events will have to cough up that proof if they take it to court. (email, phone call recording, witness, or whatever)

Those sad fanboys live vicariously through their homeboys getting paid.

Dude you are a full time Haymon apologist...nothing else but excuse making would be expected from you..it was that hard to just sign the contract, fight and move since according to Adonis the fight would be an easy win...love how when it's easy out of team haymon's fighters they never actually sign up to fight.

So we doing it like that now? First of all, I wouldn't know who the f.uck Al Haymon was if he walked up to me wearing a "hello, I'm Al Haymon" name tag. Secondly, unlike most of ya'll, I understand boxing is these people's jobs. Its how they make a living. And I don't know about you. But if somebody is willing to pay me more money to do the same job, I'm a take it, and so would you. All this guts-n-glory, do it for the fans, wanna be the best bull**** sounds real good sitting at a computer screen. But at the end of the day, the man made a business decision. Like I said, get mad at HBO. If HBO gave a rat's ass about the cult collection of hardcore fight fans, they would have matched Showtime's offer. Better yet, blame these dip****s that infest sites like this one that jump on and off every swingin' d1ck that comes along punching hard, but aren't real fight fans. Because those are the f.ucktards that don't attend fights, don't order PPV, and don't even watch the majority of the fights on regular HBO. But don't blame Stevenson for chasing the money. Because you would do the same. Regardless of what kinda bull**** you spew on here.

Right. Like you couch potato, computer nerd muthaf.uckaz don't live out your tough guy fantasies through your favs. What you make now, 7.25 an hour at Mickey Ds? You know damn well if BK came calling and offered you 7.26, you wouldn't even give Mickey Ds a two weeks notice. Stevenson went with the better offr. Nothing more, nothing less. Get mad at HBO.

So hostile.......

HBO did want to pay Stevenson....... For Kovalev. Not Fonfara


Adonis signed with Al Haymon after already having a verbal deal to fight Fonfara-Kovalev fight Afnew and then the two meet up and unify, because of that... Haymon obviously priced Adonis out for effing' Fonfara . At least that's what I think happened

Clear as day duck. Whole thing is comical and anybody defending it sounds so funny IMO lol

Says the admitted d1ckrider of a guy who's claimed to be the most feared guy in boxing. Been promoted as willing to fight anybody from 54-68. When THEE super middleweight came calling, claimed he wanted to concentrate on unifying and cleaning out 60 before moving up. Then about a week forgot all about that **** and agreed to move up to 68 to fight a much lesser fighter

That will be up to the courts to decide, but if I was Stevenson's team I would be all over Duva's statement. As BennyBlanco says once she threatened to move on that is like conceding that there is no agreement.

At least it looks that way to me but I'm not a lawyer.

Sorry, Golovkin has nothing to do with this. And you bringing him up just shows how foolish and biased you are
